ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL
In America, man is equal in the eyes of God, by the established laws, and in the protection of his rights.This chapter explains the struggle of the second-class or minorities. I choose to disregard this as I consider the most important, and as a modern philosopher states it, the smallest minority, is the individual. It's not productive to exemplify a group that collectively surmount adversity, rather I extol the one who did. Only in America is this possible.
One important thing to note is that government hand-outs never improve the minority's position, as they are only supplements to his freedom to succeed or fail.
In my hometown, everyone was a minority. There was no majority group, so affirmative action never made sense. In some cases, it ended up favoring whites. I knew many "minority" students who were insulted at the idea that they needed extra help to make it. Anybody who works hard to make it in society -- not fight it -- can do it, and they need to no longer be told they can't.
