In this New York Times bestselling book, author and conservative
icon Dr. Ben Carson lays out a hopeful roadmap for how America can come
together.
External physical characteristics that are genetically encoded are
things over which no individual has control. But rather than
appreciating the gift of diversity, some have chosen to use it to drive
wedges between groups of people. Some of these external characteristics
are associated with the past moral failing of slavery. Though slavery in
America formally ended in the 1860s, the vestiges of that evil
institution are still with us today, and those vestiges often inflict
guilt on some and facilitate feelings of victimhood in others.
In Created Equal, Dr. Carson uses his own personal experiences as a
member of a racial minority, along with the writings and experiences of
others from multiple backgrounds and demographics, to analyze the
current state of race relations in America. Instead of using race as an
excuse to remake America into something completely antithetical to the
Constitution, Dr. Carson suggests ways to enhance and bring great
success to our nation and all multiethnic societies by magnifying
America's incredible strengths instead of her historical weaknesses.
