what is equality?


Do you remember Dr. king and his dream or his speeches the marches the beatings the segregated restrooms water fountains and seatings the preaching that inspired a people to look beyond the pigment of skin so are we equal ? what is equality? do you remember wall street? no the black one my bad im probably mistaken for thinking you knew we had one black owned businesses prosperous preposterous how odd is this black own banks, hospitals and colleges knowledge is power but hatred can devour a people you wont feel equal when your town is set on fire through bombings considered legal what is equality? equality is fairness in opportunities it's unity equality does not distinguish us from them or you and me that is equality
