What I find really interesting is that in the trailers we hear these quotes from Amon

"The era of bending is over" and "the only thing that bending has brought the world is suffering"

Also when the Lieutenent said "Benders need to understand there's no place in the world for you any more"

Could it be possible that Amon doesn't neccessarily hate benders but believes that having the ability to bend may corrupt people? Also about the Lieutenents quote maybe he's right with the rise of technology nonbenders can now do many of the things that benders do. Sure there are the metal bending cops but the Lieutenent has a tazer (okay so they're electrified Kali Sticks, whatever) the point is a nonbender could have just effective of means of dealing with criminals as a bender would. Really the only thing benders have going for them is the Probending matches fighting for glory, money and others amusement.

My point is that although the Equalist movement may be about equality between benders and nonbenders I believe Amon's ultimate goal is to make bending obselete. With bending obselete maybe in the future children will simply stop bending because they no longer have to and if someone does find a talent for bending there won't be any masters to teach them. Eventually the bending gene will become recessive and there will be no more benders.
