On Equality (gender, race, etc.)

All men are not equal.

Face it, it's a fact. No matter how politically incorrect, some are faster than others. Some are brighter, some are luckier. Some are women.

Where is the equality between a white guy born into an upper middle class family on the East coast or Western Europe and a black guy (no, I don't use 'male person of colour', because I like to be clear about things I say, and using the definition of 'skin pigmentally saturated' sounds weird), born in Central Africa?

Where is a person who is born into a caring and educated family, whose parents take the time and interest to ensure he/she receives a good education, in any way remotely equal to a person born into a syfuntional household of an overworked single parent who is always broke and blames the kid for it?

Where is the equality between a 3rd generation Asian martial arts champion and fat bastard like me?

So, no, people are not equal. Period.
We could end it here, but in reality, this is where the interesting questions pop up.
Namely, why are we being forced to repeat a falsehood as a mantra of truism and why are disadvantegd people not treated equally?

In other words, why is the lowest common denominator of humanity the level we are expected to strife to achieve? (heck, I already exceeded that standard the second my mum conceived me).

So it's not about race but about about genetics, breeding and intelligence.

Why are Asians seemingly more successful at business, why are Blacks excelling at sports, why do Whites have a knack for mechanics, why are wealthy people told to feel guilty about being wealthy?

It's all in the genes.

Imgine that for countless generations it was common practice that the sons learnt the trade of their fathers. Don't you believe that if someone comes from a long family of wood carvers, that he can make the most intricate carvings about the same time he starts talking?
He will naturally tend to copy what he sees as he grows up because copying is the way we learn things. Early on he will have more practical experience at carving than any of us will ever have.

Of course, it's not a very fashionable tradition anymore and nowadays his son is likely to become an artist or a research scientist, maybe an architect. But these three professions have a similar creative root of design and shape.

Now, these crafts that run in families, came over to the US from Europe. The forefathers of this, say, architect were the guys who carved the doors to a gothic cathedral. Get my drift?

Looking at the Black race, without prejudice or judgement of any kind, their forefathers were making an existence in the jungles and steppes of Africa. Gifted hunters, daring traders, smart farmers, maybe. Scary warriors, if you will.
Then they were rounded up, shipped to the Americas, or their home turf was occupied by colonial powers. The usefulness of their crafts and expertise declined because they had to do things the Masters' way.

A few generations later, being liberated, in the sense of having the choice to be left to ones' own device, their skills were once again sharpened to do whatever it takes to survive. That's instinct.
Everyone would do the same thing in their place.

But that is what the genetics are. Survival. That's it.

No crafts. No engineering. No philosophical pondering.

The newer generation blacks is still searching for their place in society and for their place in the world community. The Whites, by forcing the equality issue, will never allow them to find that place and instead appoint an allocated spot for them. The spot of being a white guy with black skin.

Nature did not design us equal. There is no way on God's green earth that we ever will be equal (how boring would that be? I can barely live with myself, imagine 7 billion of me...).
They are better at some things, we are better at others. By sharing each others achievements, the team can excell beyond the wildest imaginations. But our current system forces everyone to wait for the slowest and pretend to him that he is as fast as everyone else.

Think about it. You know that this is bad for everyone, Whites, Blacks, Asians alike.
Race equality in front of the law. Certainly.
Equal oportunity based on merit. Absolutely.
Quota system based on colour. You gotta be kidding.

And then God created Woman.

Some say that she brought evil into the world. Sure as hell she brought lust and macho behavior among the monkeys that are Man.

Men and Women are equal.

What? I'm stronger, faster, dumber even. Equal?
She is softer, more assertive, more intuitive, less rational.
Where did nature insert the equality there?

Society has pushed females into being more male than males in their quest for an unwarranted and inachivable equality.
The system wants us to believe that apples can be oranges.

In the process of becoming more male females took our place, leaving us lost and wondering what was expected of us. So men turned into whimps and sniffing weasels, being lost for purpose. Then women complained about men having changed, but wouldn't let us behave like men (obnoxious, ill smelling, rude and noisy, but courteous and gentlemanly towards women).
We can't open the door for them, pick up something they drop, but they are happy if we pick up the tab.
If you ask me, equality slaughtered romance.

Whatever happened to the damsel in distress who we could worship and who took the reigns of her admirers as soon as she realized the powers at her disposal?
Well, she works 9-5 in an office, rises through the ranks up to a certainlevel faster than her male collegues, who hate her for it, never knows if here promotions are based on gender quota or on merit, generally hates her life and blames her husband for it because society tells her to do so.

Whatever happened to the caring and loving mother who ran the household supreme, controlled finances and expenditure, planned education and future of her children and could always be counted on as being the uber-mother of her husband?
She is out making a career, competing with her husband and ignoring the kids who are brought up dispising the opposite sex because both their parents blamed the other for the failed marriage.

In other words, gender equality brought a lot of unhappiness for everyone involved.
Is it worth it? I moved to Asia because I felt threatened by having a female boss - NOT.
I would feel threatend by anyone with superior powers, knowing that the person got there because of an error in the system rather than through performance.

Any female superior in our system will be pondering this very same question from day one.
And that makes for a bad boss.

Think about it.
