all races are equal. unfortunately all societies do not try to treat all members equally, and that is race or ethnic specific discrimination that superceeds race inequality. just look at the various races of black, white, asian, green or whatever...each race treats itself in a way that fosters ideology of race inequality....those races of all colors that prejudges women, religion, sexual orientation and lastly other races in that order...cause these general assessments. Think about it? Are North Koreans less than othre asians becuase they barter in a slave trade of their own people or proliferate torture? Are africans less because they initiated the trade of tribal enslavement amongst themselves that was later proliferated by the portugeese and other european nations? Are the portugeese less for embarking on this venture or for torturing and devestating the native americans that originally inhabited jamaica and north america. are the chineese less for the greedy drainage of their own people and destruction of the environment for material gain and market domination? its clear every race is imperfect and can be judged by themselves or any other as less than equal. however, there is good and positive to be found in all races - if not we'd all already be gone by now. So lets recognize the distinct differences in races, that we must admit exist just by simple sociological study, and if we are accustomed to generalize against a norm not part of our culture we will see inequality. Its safest to give everyone equal start then pinpoint the problems in each and ourselves, hopefully, we wont compare to a race of canibals, we may find them inferior because of their race's custom based on religion or some other guide, but in their eyes and your question - who are we to judge? maybe they can have you over for dinner.

We must ask further, equal in what respect? Should all people have equal rights under the law, certainly! Are all races more or less equal in terms of reasoning power, probably. Could I have ever become a professional "any ball" player, most likely not.
Some races appear to dominate some things which seem to indicate that more than "trying harder" is in evidence. Different people have different gifts. Other people have certain advantages given by their heritage and/or upbringing. The difference in genes is ever so slight between the races, but there are differences to recognize nonetheless.

Too much emphasis is placed on being equal and not enough on being the best. Equal to what? The people that cry for equality arent usually willing to be equal up to someone elses level, but instead prefer to bring everyone down to their level. Sacraficing greatness for the mundane and making mediocrity the norm is a recipe for disaster. What defines people is the value that they create. How can a welfare addict be equal to a farmer that feeds a small city? Nature has a perfect system called natural selection, that has served the earth well for a long, long time. It rewards the best and the best in turn beget the best. That system ensures a better, stronger gene pool for future generations. Isnt that mor moral than an unqualified idea like equality?

All races are not equal...You have Formula 1...Nascar...etc. The tracks are different...wet...dry. The drivers are different and have different styles of racing. The Pit Crews and the Racing Machines are all different. Some tracks have a lot of curves and twists...others have a simple oval shape...some are long...some are short. Therefore...no two races are the same or equal!!!

I guess all races are equal. But, all people are not equal, we are all individuals with different god given talents and skills.
Society assigns positive value to certain skills and attributes and negative values to other sets.
Different societies value different attributes.
It is all very confusing to me, but I am trying to work it out in my mind.
I can not see how race is a factor in it, other than if different races are raised in different societies with different values.
So if multi-cultural people are part of the same society sharing the same values, then all races would be equal.

We were created all equal yes, but somewhere along the road that fact got lost. . .
Case in point: Here in North America, Native Indians have been robbed of their homelands and heritages. And, they are usually not revered to be so-equal when it comes to employment opportunities, either. . .
It was a high-powered race that displaced them as such, how can this be fair-play, or equality?
For example : o

The NASCAR and INDY races are not equal to the Triple Crown races (Preakness, kentucky derby, belmont stakes) because the car races have a pit crew to change their tires. The jockey's don't get to go into the pit for a horseshoe change. It's just not fair.

Technically there are sub-races within races, and this hierarchical pyramid sub-groups until racial differences are identified as individual differences within people. For example one sibling in a family lives in a desert climate and develops a tan. The other brother lives in an arctic climate and his melanin levels drop so much that his skin becomes pale. Such differences are considered climatic when they are short term and racial when they are long term. 'Racial' differences are further strengthened by psychological differences created by respective habitats. In hot climates on tropical flat lands, their is less need of a walled protective shelter. In fact many tropical Polynesians and Africans have no walls in their houses. Colder climates on higher lands require reinforced walls for warmth and protection. Therefore now it is percieved that white people are more indoorsy and individualistic while black people are outdoorsy and communal etc.
Therefore to sum it all up, a Caucasian living in tropical climates for a few millennia will change races. A pygmy living in Alaska for a few millennia will change races. Its just plain short-term phenotypic and long-term genotypic adaptation to nature.

All races deserve to be treated equally.

I disagree that each and everybody races are equivalent. This purely isn't actual no remember how a lot people might prefer to have self assurance it. verify out black athletes for occasion. In a widespread subject, a black athlete will excel in comparison to athletes of alternative races. This has been considered in activities time and time lower back. that could be a certainty and one occasion. There are circumstances the place i might desire to declare whites excel at specific issues over the black race, or asians excelling over hispanics and so on... as long as their are those changes, one race will try to dominate the others. Its why racism and discrimination is easily not thoroughly wiped out. people are aggressive by technique of nature, its why we've tailored and survived as long as we've. as quickly as races study that they might desire to be happy and pleased with who they're and not what different races think of of them, will issues get extra effective. I propose think of roughly it. i'm white. Do I care if a black guy thinks i'm a cracker and places me down. No Why is that. because of the fact i'm pleased with who and what i'm. until contributors of the black race verify out this the comparable way, racism might have a carry on them. whilst they're pleased with who and what they're, they gained't care what yet another race thinks of them.
