Equality in America does not exist. If you think it does, then imagine yourself as a White male out there looking for a job competing against a Black or Hispanic male, a White or Black or Hispanic female. Who do you think will win? I can tell you that it will not be the White male. Why?
The reasoning is that we have all the privileges. Well I do not know about you, but I do not. In fact I would say that is an out right lie that the Federal Government is feeding society to justify why discrimination of White males is legal when discrimination is supposed to be illegal period. The American government calls it affirmative action. If you are wondering, I faced this very thing.
I applied for a teaching position and was told by many people in the department that the job was mine. I did not go into the interviews expecting this to be the case, but instead prepared for it like I would prepare for any interview. The Department Head even made the comment that I was one of the top candidates for one of the three positions. They were instructed to keep the positions open until at least one female applied. Well four applied and three of them got offers to fill the three positions. Even the top candidate who was also a White male got rejected. I did not make a fuss, but the people in the department on my behalf did. They told me that it was all about trying to get more woman into the engineering field and if they saw a female professor then it would encourage it even more.
I have seen this same type of behavior at other places. Where I am currently working, there are an extraordinary number of woman who have management type positions. I am not saying that they do not have the ability, but it seems odd to me that over 90% of the management are women.
I am glad that we can rely on God. He does not guarantee that everyone will be treated the same on Earth, but He does love all of us the same. He did not send His Son to die for just yours or mine or for another persons sins, but to pay the price for past, present, and future sins that everyone through out time. He has treated us all the same:
Romans 3:23 New International Version (NIV)
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
and has provided a means for us to spend eternity with Him.
Romans 10:9-10 New International Version (NIV)
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
How much easier could it possibly be? However it seems very difficult for us to do this which is why Christ said:
Matthew 19:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
