EQUALITY
Means exactly
that!
Equal pay,
Gender equality
Same sex
marriages
Bi-sexual
equalities
Now and some of
you who maybe reading this are Bosses! Did you gain that position through sheer
hard work? Or rise from the ranks, if so then you will know what it is like to
be on the bottom rung, I do I rose from there to where I am today a business
woman in her own right. So my point is THERE IS NO ONE BELOW ME! Everyone is my
EQUAL nothing ventured nothing gained, so why treat everyone different? When
there is no unequalness whatsoever, the pot washer (kitchen porter) has an
equal amount of equality as the boss upstairs sat in his office pushing his pen
or typing away at his or her desk. The same goes with his/her personal
assistant she/he has the same rights to be treated with equal respect as does
the kitchen porter.
Equality is
ensuring individuals or groups of individuals are treated fairly and equally
and no less favorably, specific to their needs, including areas of race,
gender, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation and age.
No one and I
stress NO ONE should be treated unfairly in any walk of life
1.
Equality
to apply for jobs
2.
Equality
to live in peace
3.
Equality
in Un-Social equality
5.
Equality
in justice

RACIAL EQUALITY
Who better than
the great person Martin Luther King and his king pin speech “I have a dream”
Please, please
read the below link. When I studied with the Open University Martin Luther King
was my chosen Leader for my subject topic on ‘Leadership and who would you
choose’ this great, great man earned me high marks. Learn and read a great
Racial Equality leader.
Where Martin
Luther King fought for racial equality, he had a dream! His endeavors were that
no person(s) of their colour be prejudiced against the white man. Why should
they sit at the back of the buses, trams, walk on the other side of the street,
be treated like second class citizens, do the menial tasks that no one else
would do, be persecuted by secular movements. Segregation is separation of humans into racial groups
in daily life. It may apply to activities such as eating in a restaurant,
drinking from a water fountain, using a public toilet, attending school, going
to the movies, riding on a bus, or in the rental or purchase of a home.
It is totally
ILLEGAL to be discriminatory in the work place, yet I am sure we have seen and
heard it in this 21st Century
Amnesty
International are another great force to be reckoned with their fight for human
rights globally has manier Government cringing when they come out of their
corner fighting for the lesser population of this world. We may not see it
happening! But then again we MUST open our eyes to it! Read their work below

Personally in
these times of equality which seems to be going out of the window on a daily
basis (take a real look around you) whilst out and about and see the injustices
whereas in our own bibles we are all equal amongst one another, maybe it is up
to us to begin a new trend amongst ourselves for a better future, a voice
that’ll give others the choice, a voice that’ll speak up for equality, but are
you brave enough?

Bible Scriptures
Malachi 2:10
(The People’s Unfaithfulness to God) Don’t
we all have the same father? Didn’t the same God create us all? Then why do we
break our promises to one another, and why do we despise the covenant that God
made with our ancestors?
Acts 10:34-35
(Peter’s Speech) Peter began to speak “I
now realize that it is true that God treats everyone on the same basis. Whoever
worships him and does what is right is acceptable to him, no matter what race
he belongs to”
Galatians
3:26-29 (The Purpose of the Law) It is
through faith that all of you are God’s sons in union with Christ Jesus. You
are baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, so to speak, with
the life of Christ himself. So there is no difference between Jews and
Gentiles, between slaves and free men, between men and women; you are all one
in union with Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are descendants
of Abraham and will receive what God has promised
Colossians
1:16-17 (The Person and Work of Christ) For
through him God created everything in heaven and on earth, the seen and the
unseen things, including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and authorities. God
created the whole universe through him and for him. Christ existed before all
things, and in union with him all things have their proper place.
Colossians 4:26
(Personal Relations in the New Life) Masters,
be fair and just in the way you treat your slaves. Remember that you too have a
Master in heaven
John 13:16
(Jesus Washes His Disciples Feet) I am
telling you the truth; no slave is greater than his master, and no messenger is
greater than the one who sent him
John 13:34 (The
New Commandment) And now I give you a new
commandment; love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one
another.
James 2:1-4
(Warning against Prejudice) My brother,
as believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, you must never treat
people in different ways according to their outward appearance. Suppose a rich
man wearing a gold ring and fine clothes comes to your meeting, and a poor man
in ragged clothes also comes. If you show more respect to the well-dressed man
and say to him, “Have this best seat here,” but say to the poor man, “Stand
over there, or sit here on the floor by my feet,” then you are guilty of
creating distinctions among yourselves and of making judgements based on evil
motives.
Ephesians 2:14
(One in Christ) For Christ himself has
brought us peace by making Jews and Gentiles one people. With his own body he
broke down the walls that separated them and kept them enemies. He abolished
the Jewish Law with its commandments and rules, in order to create out of the
two races one new people in union with himself, in this way making peace. By
his death on the cross Christ destroyed their enmity; by means of the cross he
united both races into one body and brought them back to God. So Christ came
and preached the Good News of peace to all – to you Gentiles, who were far away
from God, and to the Jews who were near to him.
Numbers 15:15
(Laws about Sacrifice) For all time to
come, the same rules are binding on you and on the foreigners who live among
you. You and they are alike in the Lord’s sight
Racial
Equality Bible Scriptures
Acts 17:26 (In
Athens) From one man he created all races
of mankind and made them live throughout the whole earth. He himself fixed
beforehand the exact times and the limits of the places where they would live.
Acts 34:35
(Peter’s Speech) Peter began to speak “I
now realize that it is true that God treats everyone on the same basis. Whoever
worships him does what is right is acceptable to him not matter what race he
belongs.
Leviticus
19:33-34 (Laws of Holiness and Justice) “Do
no ill-treat foreigners who are living on your land. Treat them as you would a
fellow-Israelite, and love them as you love yourselves. Remember that you were
once foreigners in the land of Egypt, I am the Lord your God”
Malachi 2:10
(The People’s Unfaithfulness to God) Don’t
we all have the same father? Didn’t the same God create us all? Then why do we
break a promise to one another, and why do we despise the covenant that God
made with our ancestors
Genesis 3:20
(God Pronounces Judgement) Adam named his
wife Eve, because she was the mother of all human beings. And the Lord God made
clothes out of animal skin for Adam and his wife, and he clothed them.
Equality in
Salvation Bible Scriptures
Proverbs 22:2 The rich and the poor have this in common;
the Lord made them both
Romans 2:11
(God’s Judgement) For God judges everyone
by the same standard.
Romans 3:22-24
(How God Puts Us Right with Him) God puts
people right through faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in
Christ, because there is no difference at all; everyone has sinned and is far
away from God’s saving presence. But by the free gift of God’s grace all are
put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free.

they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (Thomas Jefferson – ‘The
