It’s a lovely sentiment, but not reality. That’s the destination, not the starting point.

And In amongst those thousand and one thing are elements we need to identify and change if we want a more equal society.



But they are currently the ones that are less equal, generally.

because they’re not equal, at the moment. Generally, in the West they are not equal at all, for a whole host of reasons.



That’s right, and currently, generally, for many different reasons, the white person has a better outcome than the black person. So “saying” we’re all equal doesn’t cut it. Because we’re not.
And we never will be equal if we carry on labelling things such as black lives matter.
