Don't you think that ending prejudice toward women would have a greater effect, hence there are more women in the world than African Americans? That is, if you can quantify prejudice.

If we were to give a woman to experience inequality, what would that mean? She doesn't get paid as much? She's not a leader of society? But there is a slight problem with this assessment: are we saying that in places of leadership and the public eye are the only places where a woman can achieve equality? Women are the bearers of children. We are sacked on with the duty to reproduce, and no matter how hard men try, they cannot carry on the future of their own race. Yes we may not always get the most money, but men can't even produce a legacy for all the success they have garnered. Women and men are not necessarily unequal, they are just different. Their roles are different. Adam Smith had the right idea when he said that the division of labor is the most successful way to run a business; well a division of the roles in human life are the way to come as close to possible to a successful life.

On the other hand, African Americans are a race of people that just cannot win. There is a mentality weighing down the African Americans, that if did not exist would open the doors for the African American people could flourish. Men, women, children alike could then not be so innately repressed. African Americans are truly unequal because they have the same mental and physical capacities as any other human, but because of their color, they are not treated with their due equality. A shade of skin color stops a person with the EXACT same qualifications from being hired. We can't say this for the men and women dichotomy. No matter how hard we try, women are just fundamentally different from men. That does not make us unequal, it makes us distinct. African Americans are put into a box not because of any physical incapabilities or mental incapabilities, but because of something that in the grand and not so grand scheme of things is so trivial. So I do stick by my guns. Take away the prejudice of being black.
