Fair -
1) Free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice: a fair decision; a fair judge.
2) Legitimately sought, pursued, done, given, etc.; proper under the rules: a fair fight.
In an ideal world, everyone would be treated equally. How many times have you felt that life just isn't fair? Chances are, if you were born into this world as a member of a minority race or gender, you fully understand that the playing field is not level for 'your kind'. Now please don't get this misconstrued; I'm not whining or asking for handouts. I fully believe that as a people, we are capable of overcoming insurmountable odds. Genetically, it’s just the way we were constructed. However, in my opinion, it would be refreshing if there was one set of governing rules which applied to everyone. I think we can all agree that the rules which apply to Brett are not the same rules that apply to Hakim and Tariq.
I embrace the idea that someday minorities will be presented with the same choices, opportunities, and advantages as our majority counterparts. Only then (when these commodities are proportionately dispersed) will we truly be able to separate the lazy and shiftless individuals from those of us who strive to achieve in every field of human endeavor. Quite frankly, folk who lack motivation, drive, or desire... need to shut up about life not being fair, anyway. I mean c'mon y’all... fair is fair. Have a productive weekend. Be blessed.
