We've seen lately a lot about Kanye West and Candice Ownes making the news about their support for President Trump's policies and alignment about with certain concepts regarding one's personal character.
Now, Candice Ownes has contributed to Prager U's video series on conservative concepts regarding what is normally referred to as the "race card" but is called the "Black Card" in this video presentation.
It clarifies the concepts which Martin Luther King, Jr. promoted when he was still alive working to forward equal treatment for African-Americans in the 1960s.
Just today, I saw a little sign in a music classroom where I was substitute teaching for the afternoon that caught my attention because I had always struggled with how to explain the difference to my students while teaching full-time about "fairness".
It stated succinctly, "Fairness is not that everyone deserves the same things. Fairness is that everyone deserves the same opportunity to achieve success for themself."
This is why M.L.K., Jr. said in his speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, "...we should not judge a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character."
