About this Quote

This quote by Michael Harrington talks with the unreasonable assumptions put on the inadequate in society. He is suggesting that those who are as well conscious expect a disabled individual to run a race are expecting the inadequate to do something that is impossible. He is highlighting the hypocrisy of expecting the inadequate to act like everyone else in society when they are not provided the very same possibilities or sources. He is explaining that the poor are not provided the exact same opportunities to succeed which it is unreasonable to anticipate them to imitate every person else. He is likewise recommending that those that are as well sensitive to demand of the impaired to run races ought to be more understanding of the circumstances of the bad. He is supporting for even more empathy as well as understanding of the struggles of the bad and also for even more support as well as sources to be provided to them.
