I am sure.  I am not going to lie.  I don't think that full, true equality
is EVER possible.  There are always people who will be racist, sexist,
etc.  Besides, if you read on, that argument is already answered: the
SEARCH for equality is what you need to do.  If you don't, you aren't
doing anything to improve society.  You are only allowing for regressive
behavior.
