It Is Equity, not Justice or Equality that is
possible for moral man in an immoral society.

     Equity is not justice or equality.. Equity is impartiality, behavior without favoritism or discrimination. It is the absence of avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, politically, demographically, or geographically.
     Justice is a moral matter. how moral is man? How moral can he be individually or as a member of a collective? History is replete with man's moral deficit.
     Reinhold Niebuhr, in his book, "Moral Man and Immoral Society: A Study in Ethics and Politics," addresses man's dilemma regarding justice. He makes a distinction between the moral and the social behavior of  individuals and social groups, national, racial, and economic.
     Man is moral in the sense that he is free even to make decisions that are right and good. He has the capacity to be righteous. However, the social behavior of people are often immoral in groups, institutions, and practices as evidenced in corruption, exploitation, governmental policies and greed.
      It is equity, not justice or equality that should be the pursuit of people who are desirous of a better world. Equity does not necessarily require morality or righteousness which, in a broad sense, is lacking in society. EQUITY REQUIRES EQUAL TREATMENT.. Even people who are privileged may not have justice or experience fairness. Equity requires that those not privileged be afforded equal privileges. This does not require fairness. As the saying goes, "life is not fair." This is true .
     Equity: no p-e-a-c-e without p-i-e-c-e. Translated this means that a piece of the action is a prerequisite for peace, i.e., an equity piece. For this to happen it may require confrontation, protests, civil disobedience, and confiscation when it is necessary to take back stuff that has been taken from you. Equity is about a home for everyone, a vote for everyone, and so forth and so on. Just as there is equity in death, let there be equity in life. In death it matters not how a person is memorialized by the living, that dead person has in common with every other dead person, mortal finality. The Apostle Paul asserts: "The last enemy to be destroyed is death." 1Corinthians 15:26 NIV
    "Moral man in immoral society," is not capable of justice and equality until he is transformed into a perfect being. So in the meantime, let us not waste time in the pursuit of justice but rather let us with urgency and courage pursue equity which is possible, i.e., man is capable, in his present state of consciousness, to demand equity for all.
"The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man." Psalm 115:16 NIV. That
is to say to every human being.

Addendum
During the Montgomery Bus Boycott I heard people say, "You can't legislate morality," implying that white people didn't want buses to be desegregated. After buses were desegregated in Montgomery it didn't matter to black bus riders whether or not morality can or cannot be legislated. What mattered to them was that now they had freedom to take any seat on the bus that was unoccupied and not be ordered as was Rosa Parks, who was arrested when she refused to  give her bus seat to a white person.

During the 5oth Aniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott that was held at the First Baptist church in Montgomery where many mass meetings were held during the year-long bus boycott, Dick Gregory said, "I went down south to  a restaurant  and the white waitress said to me, 'We don't serve colored people.'i said, fine, just bring me a whole fried chicken.'"
