Okay, I can't find it, but where in the U.S. Constitution is the term Racial Equity found?

You mean you're looking for the specific phrase "Racial Equity" in the US Constitution? Why?

I don't think it's in there, but let me check.

grep -v "Racial Equity" US_Constitution.txt

No, it's not in there.

Democrats believe it is in the Constitution.

Or they will invent a way to extract it out of the Constitution.

You won't find anything concerning equality of outcome either.

What is meant by "equality"? There were Jim Crow laws that existed up to a few decades ago. Many acts are not specifically described in the Constitution as legal (or illegal).

In America, I thought we all were equal and our outcome was based the amount of effort we put into getting where we want to be. Apparently, we have a new set of rules.

No it's not in the Constitution. However, the Declaration of Independence does say,

Quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Perhaps it's a reference to that?

Liberals don't believe that differences in racial outcomes are caused by differences in effort.

That "new set of rules" would be the rules of the left. Yes, that's who is in control now. And they couldn't care less about what is in the Constitution.
