Would God categorize his children? That is a question that I believe most would .
Would the United States categorize their citizens? .
Although the Amendment suggests that all men and women are equal, the fact is, the .
people of the United States are continuously being classified. So, if indeed the United .
States is one nation under God, why do we continue to sort ourselves through .
unreasonable and unethical factors? The misinterpretation of race has shattered the .
American society and for all that it stands. We should correct America's immoral actions and assumptions that separate God's children in hope of reforming the United States toward true equality.
The United States is supposed to be a nation of equal beings, yet the .
government, companies, and organizations in America use race in questionnaires and .
forms. For example, admissions forms asked to check one of the boxes containing the following: African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, White, Other, and Prefer not to answer. Prefer not to answer should be the most logical choice, but still, the question of race in general, should not be of any concern, especially for filing purposes. Despite the fact, we are haunted by the categorization of our "ethnic background," which vaguely describes our personality. .
Many other organizations prefer to ask about race, but when we inquired for our ethnic .
background, we should think about how and why it would be of any concern if we are .
considered equal under God. And when asked for ethnic background, we should wonder .
why the selections are merely categorized by color of skin, rather than precise nationality. .
How can we be equal in America, yet be judged by the color of our skin? The truth is, we are deceived by many organizations claiming equality when asked the questions of our background. Background is simple visualization of our family lineage. Character is still varied from person to person, whether a person is from the same location of the world or not.
