The ball should bounce the same for everyone... Equality

Taken @ Virtual decay

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

Andre Lorde

Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves.

John F. Kennedy

* Working Towards a Better World

’Status quo.’ Latin for the mess we’re in. - Jeve Moorman

Genuine equality means not treating everyone the same, but attending equally to everyone’s different needs.”

― Terry Eagleton, Why Marx Was Right

Be the change you wish to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are. - Benjamin Franklin

There can be no peace as long as there is grinding poverty, social injustice, inequality, oppression, environment degradation, and as long as the weak and small continue to be trodden by the mighty and powerful”. - Tenzin Gyatso - 14th Dalai Lama

It may be an academically interesting puzzle as to why we are gay…but it is much more interesting and important to find out why people are homophobic. - Peter Nardi (U.S. professor, 1947)

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. - Anaïs Nin

I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. -

Gloria Steinem

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.-

Margaret Mead

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome. -

Rosa Parks

Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. - Abraham Joshua Heschel

You don't fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity. -

Bobby Seale

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! -

*Working Towards a Better World

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what the color. - Maya Angelou

We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams. - Jimmy Carter

I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it’s own greatest strength - it’s diversity. - Melissa Etheridge

Civilizations should be measured by the degree of diversity attained and the degree of unity retained. - W.H. Auden

If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear. -

Gene Roddenberry

When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free. - Charles Evans Hughes

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

This is the Equality Emerging statue, located in Galway, created by John Behan, one of Ireland’s leading sculptors. Unveiled in November 2001 it depicts a human figure breaking free from a wall that represents oppression and inequality.

The dedication on the statue reads:

“..... dedicated to people everywhere who are struggling for equality and to those suffering because of its absence. The emerging figure represents the force for equality, the wall, those people and systems in opposition.”

The statue reminds us that equality is not something that is given, but something that is earned through struggle and perseverance.

Happy Equinox!

In London, the September or Autumn Equinox is on

Friday, 22 September 2017 at 21:02 BST. In the southern hemisphere it will be the opposite season - the Spring or Vernal Equinox.

It marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator, the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's Equator. Day and Night are approximately equal all over the world at this time. (Equinox means equal night)

Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

Disregard the Exif data. This shot was done with Fuji X-Pro3 plus Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 720nm infrared filter. The light source is a 550-2500nm infrared lamp. "What's the point?" is a phrase I have been hearing in my village - usually used by young men. When digging a bit deeper I am hearing more: that their income is minimal with no real chance of betterment, that they are excluded from the "opportunities" and "prospects" promised by the politicians, that having a family would be economically risky for them, that they would never be able to own their home. And, turning to me "oldie" with a pension, that people like me are consuming a major share of the nation's wealth. And what did I say? You are right, young man. When it comes to social equality or, other way round, to social exclusion, this country, the UK, is in a deep mess.

Ellis Marsalis Mural

Equality for all

It is interesting how people react to a word or phrase. If you are a caring, upbeat and positive person you will see the best in most things.

However, 'equality for all' could see many held back in order to create perfect equality. 'Equality for all' could see universal empoverishment.

Be careful what you wish for and who you trust to deliver it.

Some animals may be more equal than others after all.

Everything is equal in the snow: all trees, all lawns, all streets, all rooftops, all cars. Everything is white, white, white, as far as you can see. Covered by snow, the well-kept and neglected lawns look the same. The snow hides the shiny newness of a just-bought car as effectively as it does the rust and dents of a ten-year-old one. Everything looks clean and fresh and unmarred by time or use. Snow, like the silent death it counterfeits, is a great leveler.

Adrienne Ivey

For the Tree-Mendous Tuesday Group. Portage County, Ohio

De vez en cuando la vida,

florece en este jardín

de mi desolada esencia

y una delirante rosa

con sus traviesas espinas

araña mi corazón,

me susurra, con amor

que no pierda la esperanza

y prometiéndome sueños

mas allá de la razón

me abraza con su ternura

manteniendo la ilusión

que me hace sentirme viva

disfrazando la amargura,

integrándose en mi piel

con su pizca de locura

y su mágico pincel

pinta de azul mi tristeza

y veo como se acerca

con sus tiernas melodías

posando en mi corazón

notas de lírico canto

ahuyentando ese quebranto

que invade mis noches frías.

De vez en cuando la vida

mezcla sus dulces aromas

con la prosa de mi piel

y yo le inclino mi sien

en el calor de su vientre,

ella plasma con sus labios

sobre mi boca dos besos.

[Intro:]

Your challengers are a young group from Houston

Welcome Beyoncé, Lativia, Nina, Nicky, Kelly, and Ashley

The Hip-Hop Rappin'

'Girls TYME'

I'm out that H-town coming coming down

I'm coming down, drippin' candy on the ground

H, H-Town, Town, I'm coming down

Coming, coming down, dripping candy on the ground

[Verse 1 Beyonce:]

I know when you were little girls

You dreamt of being in my world

Don't forget it, don't forget it

Respect that, bow down bitches (Crown!)

I took some time to live my life

But don't think I'm just his little wife

Don't get it twisted, get it twisted

This my shit, bow down bitches

Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches (Crown)

Bow down bitches, bow bow down bitches (Crown)

H-Town vicious

H, H-Town vicious

I'm so crown crown, bow down bitches

I'm out that H, town, coming coming down

I'm coming down, drippin' candy on the ground

H, H-town town

I'm coming down

Coming, coming down

Drippin' candy on the ground

[Verse 2: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie]

We teach girls to shrink themselves

To make themselves smaller

We say to girls,

"You can have ambition

But not too much

You should aim to be successful

But not too successful

Otherwise you will threaten the man."

Because I am female

I am expected to aspire to marriage

I am expected to make my life choices

Always keeping in mind that

Marriage is the most important

Now marriage can be a source of

Joy and love and mutual support

But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage

And we don't teach boys the same?

We raise girls to see each other as competitors

Not for jobs or for accomplishments

Which I think can be a good thing

But for the attention of men

We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings

In the way that boys are

Feminist: the person who believes in the social

Political, and economic equality of the sexes

[Verse 3 Beyonce:]

You wake up, flawless

Post up, flawless

Ridin' round in it, flawless

Flossin' on that, flawless

This diamond, flawless

My diamond, flawless

This rock, flawless

My rock, flawless

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless, ladies tell 'em

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless, ladies tell 'em

Say I look so good tonight

God damn, God damn

Say I look so good tonight

God damn, God damn, God damn

Momma taught me good home training

My Daddy taught me how to love my haters

My sister told me I should speak my mind

My man made me feel so God damn fine, I'm flawless!

[Verse 4 Beyonce:]

You wake up, flawless

Post up, flawless

Riding round in it, flawless

Flossing on that, flawless

This diamond, flawless

My diamond, flawless

This rock, flawless

My rock, flawless

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless, ladies tell 'em

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless, ladies tell 'em

Say I look so good tonight

God damn, God damn

Say I look so good tonight

God damn, God damn, God damn
