Just read this

Reading an article in the New York Times, I came across the following;

if a new Supreme Court overturns affirmative-action laws, Democrats will need to pursue equality in ways that avoid treating whites and blacks differently

I can't even begin to get my head around that statement. Isn't the whole point of equality not treating people differently? Isn't that what affirmative action is? A way of treat people differently? I thought so.
