Common meaning:
Decision to release feelings of resentment against those who have harmed you.
Hidden meaning of the Equity religion:
No one who is a member of an oppressor group can ever be forgiven.
Discussion:
The Equityists do not believe that any member of an oppressor group can receive forgiveness. It does not matter how much they repent or how hard they work as an ally, they can never wash away the stain of being an oppressor and being guilty.
Many religions, like Christanity, preach forgiveness, but Equity does not. It is all about revenge and getting back at the people who have harmed either you or your group. People who are members of dominant groups can expect zero mercy and even those in minoritized groups will receive no grace if they don’t hold Equity views.
Equity sets up a situation so you will be damned if you do, and you will be damned if you don’t. If a member of a dominant group refuses to learn about a minoritized group, they are demonstrating hatred. If a member of a dominant group learns about and engages with the minoritized group, they are demonstrating cultural appropriation.
A world where forgiveness is not allowed is a very dark place.
