Are we Equal?

Are Caucasians and African American equal?
If you ask me, “Are African Americans and Caucasians equal?” I would say “no.” If you take a look at the different things available in the country there is a category just for African Americans then there is a category for both Caucasian and African Americans. Take Miss America pageants, for example, there is one pageant just for African Americans but yet they still have the opportunity to compete in the Miss America pageant with Caucasian women. Another one that I have come across is scholarships. There are special scholarships for African Americans. In both these examples, there is nothing set up where just Caucasians can participate.
Are women and men equal?
Again, if you ask me, “Are women and men equal?” I would say “no.” Take a look at the different jobs available. I have seen several incidents were a woman and a man go in for the same job and the man is offered more to work. This may be because we all think that men support the house. But not in all cases is the men head of house hold these days. Another think I have ran across is sleeping around. If a man sleeps around he is being a player if a woman sleeps around she is called a slut.
Can we ever be equal? Are things going to get to worst?
