Thank you so much for the feed-forward! MeMe is such a joy and a wealth of knowledge and love.

@@bamaclay9614 Never is such a strong word…I hear you though! Every now and then I experience equity in my life. It is during those times that I know it is possible.

@@josephstjames6642 Thanks for your feedback. Fair is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. Trust me, we all want it.

@@thelathatch here is another way to look at it. Usain Bolt and I are set up for a 100m race. In an equal world we would have to follow the same rules to win. But this isn’t really fair as Usain was born with gifts that I wasn’t. This in equitable world I would have a different starting position. At first glance this seems more fair but completely overlooks the long hours he put into training that I did not. How can you judge what’s fair? In my opinion you can’t. Thus “as Martin Luther King said” we must strive for a world where everyone has the same equal opportunities.

​@@josephstjames6642As glamorous as that sounds, it's bullshit. Usain Bolt stood out in a small country that competes internationally. There are a number of Usain Bolts, but even getting on the track is a different endeavor. Consider transgender folks competing based on "raw God given talent" when we know scientifically both biologically and physiologically, men are built different than women by design. Clearly other men thought these men who couldn't win in their own male catagory could win in the female one if they just showed up. So, was it really talent or was it political pull that made the track/court/pool a level playing field? 😮 Those who facilitate who gets to participate are often left out of the equation. If you live in Texas and don't pay big money for a travel team, a private coach etc, there is a good chance your kiddo won't make the middle school sports team. It isn't just based on hard work and natural talent, there are many factors that equitable and equality aren't present as we look at cheating schemes and secret handshakes to get into college, let alone to be on a college team where the athletes likeness and image is now a money maker changes the "fairness" dynamic, as we know people do a lot to put their kids in the best financial positions at any cost.
