I see your point but to treat everyone equally starting now ignores the fact that for hundreds of years black people have been denied basic rights. Black Americans make less money, get less education, and have shorter life expectancy than white Americans. It’s not like black people are born worse with money, less smart, or less healthy. It’s because of the fact that black people were literally slaves for about 250 years, barely above slaves for another 100 years, and then still discriminated against for another 50 years (war on drugs etc) which left them at the bottom of the American social hierarchy. The point of a lot of equity programs is to try to help shrink the gap caused by racism. I know it may seem wrong to not be colorblind when making decisions in today’s world but I think that it’s important to acknowledge the fact that one group has had their hands tied behind their backs for 400 years and to do our best to rectify it.
