Equality
I will just come out and say it, our country is NOT equal. Our country, the one that prides itself on its equality, is lying to itself.
– Race or religion-specific scholarships/schools…NOT EQUAL
– You must hire __ number of people from a minority even though some other people may have better qualifications…NOT EQUAL
– Government-provided housing and maintenance for certain races(Ex. Reservations for Native Americans)…NOT EQUAL
– Getting free money from the government because you are a certain race…NOT EQUAL
– People getting pushed through school even though they deserve to flunk and be held back…NOT EQUAL
I could go on and on, but I see no point. I believe that whenever a form or application is filled out for anything, there should be no space to declare race/religion. When anyone fills a section out like that it deprives people of equality. The fact that race/religion makes a difference is not equal.
Our country should erase this inequality so getting a job is based only on qualifications, experience, and hard-work. The fact that some people get free money for the goverment even though they don’t even try to get a job pisses me off. There are people who deserve the government assistance, don’t get me wrong. If there is a hard-working person down on his luck and is trying to get a job, then he/she deserves the assistance, but it isn’t fair that people who don’t try get the assistance as well.
I wrote these ideas as they popped into my head. If anyone would like clarification on anything just leave a comment.
Lets get equal here people.
