About this Quote

This quote by Carl T. Rowan speaks with the concept of real equality for minority groups. He suggests that a minority group has only truly "arrived" when it is offered the same rights and privileges as the majority group, consisting of the right to make errors and have some members of the group be viewed as absurd or deceitful without the entire group being evaluated for it. This quote speaks to the concept of true equality, where a minority group is not held to a greater standard than the bulk group, and is not evaluated more roughly for the mistakes of a couple of. It is just when a minority group is provided the very same rights and privileges as the bulk group that it can really be viewed as equal. This quote is a reminder that real equality is not practically having the exact same rights and advantages, but also about being provided the very same respect and understanding.
