Let's start with 'inequality'. That term is a tool to keep racism alive and keep the less fortunate bitter. No one is equal. We consist of various colors, sexes, ethnicities, heights, weights, intellects, health, drive, talents, etcetera, so how is it that some people claim that we can all be 'equal'? Before anyone claim that I'm missing the point of inequality, just know that I'm not. Let's use the argument that 'people should be paid the same for the same job'. For the most part, that is indeed the case, however, what if two people work at McDonald's and are both cooks. One of them is black and the other is white. The white guy has been working there for 3 years whereas the black guy has only been working there for a week. The white guy gets paid $10.50 an hour and the black guy only get paid $7.50. Is that an instance of inequality? If so, is it because of experience or because of race? If the former, then is it really an instance of inequality? If it's the latter then is it fair that someone with years of more experience be paid the same as someone with very little experience? If it's not fair, then how can it be a case of inequality? If it's not a case of inequality then why would some people consider the pay difference a racial thing? If everything in the universe has to balance itself then how can there be equality for all? If there is wealth, there must also be poverty. If there is strength, there must also be weakness. If there is success there must also be failure. The only real thing we have that is equal is arguably 'opportunity', but is it a case of inequality if some people choose not to take advantage of that opportunity? Sorry for rambling. I'm tired and am at a skating rink with my youngest son and one of his friends...
