Do African and white share the same equal rights and values on earth?
4 min readBy Lam Wuor
In reality, the concept of human right is entirely designed for western countries alone; it has profound implications politically, sociologically, and religiously. I think it is fair to say that the great majority of us believe all human beings are equal not necessarily in social status, but fundamentally.
The reality is that all people are not treated equally, for example, no single person could die or kill in American and Canada or elsewhere in the west by the order of president or prime minster, so what it is that makes all human beings not equal so that they should be treated equally?
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. While in South Sudan president had murdered 20,000 innocent people with no reason yet American government still think that Salva Kiir he is still illegitimate president elsewhere in the west no president could kill dozens of civilians like what kiir has done in South Sudan.
As a matter of fact, we all have no the same value. Even if all men and women are created equal and everybody deserves the same rights and opportunities but there are some people on earth are not like others.
An American leader who’s their interest on oil believe that not everybody is equal, that not everybody deserves the same that some people don’t deserve to be treated equal. In human nature I believe they are wrong No matter what the color of your skin, your race, or your ethnicity you are equal to everybody.
Some people might think that if you are black then you aren’t as good as they are, but there are people from all races and ethnicities that have been famous for being intelligent. If we weren’t equal then one race or ethnicity would take over and the other races or ethnicities would extinct.
Everybody is created equal and should be treated equally. However, in language of science there is no guarantee that we will all develop the same abilities, share the same experiences, or have the same desires.
However, all men equal we all were born equal, with nothing but our physical body. No common sense, no money, no education. But with conditions let me clarify my answer.
When I say all men are created equal, I mean we are all born with a blank slate – no knowledge, no common sense, nothing but a physical body and a mind with the potential to do great things. Things get complicated when you start to factor things in like the learning environment, outside influences, and living conditions, which affect the way humans develop (and often unequally).
It is not fair, but it is true that we are not all created equal in same circumstances.
For example, some of us are born with physical or mental disabilities or only a very select few people could become king or queen of a nation because a family lineage that is exclusive to blood relatives. While these are true, it is no excuse to act as if we are not all created equal.
No persons chose the circumstances they were born into and is therefore unethical and illogical to judge others based on their intelligence, appearance, or nationality. Privileged vs Non-privileged there is a believe that a person who is born in a poverty stricken area is not equal to a person born in a first world country.
Naturally varying degrees of genetic mutations assure that we aren’t born physically equal and radically different social conditions world-round prevent us from inheriting equal opportunities for at the very least our developmental years (and likely, our whole lives).
However, these facts certainly are a basis or justification for discrimination, in fact, it is the quite the contrary. If anything, this just provides all the more reason as to why we should pursue a society where all people can be provided equal chances, even if it is by means of virtual compensation for something out of their hands.
At the end of the day, we are all just trying to be something better than what we currently are.
We have always lived in a Competitive Society with the Ego minded. Even in modern day for example consider the American interest on nation that has oil, all western Nations competing against one another to prove superiority.
African nations are left behind regardless of how wealthier you’re that is why American doesn’t care about African people but care about resources in Africa only.
It depend on the genetic and environment some are black some are white, Haitian, Dominican, Asian, African, Arabian etc. Yes we all come into the world the same way, but we are all born with different social statuses.
Finally, western countries view African nations as less human even if we are born equally yet we don’t share the same value and human right.
