Equality Equals Dignity and Respect? I don't think so...
Minorities want to be treated with dignity and respect, and expect that when the majority (or white people) treats them with equality- or like they treat anyone else- they will then have dignity and respect. But when they are treated like everyone else they still cry that they are not treated with dignity and respect because they have a fantasy that white people always treat each other with dignity and respect and good communication skills! But white people still rob, murder, argue with, insult, offend, and irritate each other. We still have human limitations on our communication skills. So when white people do treat minorities the same flawed way we treat others, we get frustrated to still be called racists by those who have an unrealistic idea of what equality means. We feel pounded on by those who decry our faults as racism- when they are simple human faults and limitations that we all posses. It seems to me that it would be more constructive for minorities to stop seeing themselves as different and start focusing on elevating the human race as a whole- realizing that white people have faults and poor communication skills too.
