Which is why this should be about equity, not about equality.
Also, Aristotle was a great philosopher but a terrible mathematician, so don't rely too much on what he has to say about equations and shit.
So, if one group is oppressed and another group isn't, it's "the worst form of inequality" for the oppressed group to fight for their own rights?

No, but I think Aristotle meant you cannot fight for strict equality, because people just are not equal. You should fight for equity.
Fighting for everyone's rights equally is about equality. Fighting more for people who need it the most (i.e. oppressed people) is equity.
Was there any sort of context to this, or some other meaning to it? Because, if I'm reading this right, this would imply that the black people trying to get their rights back when they had no rights were actually committing a great inequality on this world by making things more equal. Or is this actually implying that it's terrible that they had to have to get their rights back because they should of had them in the first place?
Ah, you're quite clever. Except I'm not the source of those problems. Look at the names on the papers. These are the papers that I collected from some of the worst students on Earth!
