Mark Laita: Created Equal

Product Information

However, things were not always easy as they faced their fair share of ridicule for standing out from the community. For example, Timmy and Lorraine used to frequent the church until one family made fun of him and Timmy had stopped going to the church after that. This was not an isolated incident as Betty states that they still get made fun of sometimes.

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. I really loved this book because Dr. Carson was honest about the problems we do have in this country, but he tells the truth about them from his experience, and then gives us solutions to those problems. Most left wing people point out the problems from their agenda, but then offer no solutions, but Dr. Carson does. In the most recent video posted by Latia titled ‘ Walmart shopping trip-The Whittakers’ posted on November 25, 2021, he said;In his book Dr. Carson talks straight about many of the topics facing our nation today, including those that are trying to tear our nation apart. Here are the topics he discusses in his book: I would bet that inbreeding was at least partly responsible for the mental and physical abnormalities seen in Lorraine, Freddie, Ray and Timmy,” wrote Latia in the description. Critical race Theory is only taught in a graduate school setting. The scare tactic of the right wing is pushing this craziness for you to think that they are being taught this in kindergarten! And with this craziness they are taking studies away from kids! O they claim that the statue of David from Michael Angelo is now pornographic! Who is truly suppressing our young citizens? Absolutely ridiculous! Fast-forward thirty years, and as we know Thomas is now on the court. He’s become a favorite justice of mine (wow, sounds pretty nerdy). He seems very thoughtful and like a dedicated defender of the Constitution, which I appreciate. So, when I saw a biography of him come out, I was interested in reading it.

In a podcast with Koncrete KLIPS, Latia recounted that a police officer of Rayleigh County had led him to the Whittakers. It happened while he was in pursuit of subjects for his Created Equal book that was about the “diverse portraits of different kinds of people in America such as astronauts to ballerinas to politicians to drug addicts to polygamist.”

I think they are more intelligent than people think, they just have a difficult time communicating.” Over the years, some of the siblings have married and moved away while the others have passed away. For instance, Betty mentions losing a sister named Barbara.

I strongly discourage anyone attempting to look for the Whittakers as their armed neighbors and the Raleigh County deputies both make it clear that curious visitors are not welcome.” In the follow-up to the wildly successful documentary by the same name, Created Equal builds on dozens of hours of groundbreaking, one-on-one interviews with Thomas to share a new, expanded account of his powerful story for the first time.

Now you want to bring Bible into the story, first solves freedom from religion not freedom to practice religion only! Judeo Christian is not the American faith as you would like to profess. We have many many different religions in this country and for one religion to ordain their rights over others is suppression. Just imagine if another religion told you this is what we’re going to believe from now on. As far as money and you brought up multiple times, in God we trust and under God for a pledge of allegiance, you do realize that was added years and years after our country was establish? It was added because of one religion trying to inflict their beliefs on everyone else. It’s actually a disgrace to what our nation was created. Nevertheless, do you really believe that Trump calling people of color from other countries shit holes Christian thing to do? Jesus Christ wanted you to feed the hunger, house the homeless, embrace the immigrants. None of these is being performed by your side of the aisle. But yet religion and Christianity keep coming up in every right wing talk. The Whittakers of Odd, West Virginia is far from an ordinary family. Brought to widespread recognition by the accomplished American photographer Mark Latia, they first appeared on his Created Equal portrait book in 2004. I have never read a book that better tells the story of race in America than Ben Carson’s Created Equal.By weaving America’s history with his own family story we all get a handbook on how to succeed in today’s world. This book pulls no punches about this nation’s imperfect past but alsoexplains how wrongly interpreting the pastwill kill this country’s future.”— Brian Kilmeade, co-anchor, Fox & Friends

Before we suffer the loss of the precious freedoms that we currently enjoy, we must awaken to the slippery slopes of Marxist tendencies that are cropping up everywhere. “ I find Clarence Thomas's life story and views on U.S society, history and culture insightful and inspiring. He grew up in the poorest of the poor communities. Had to work had for his education. Originally studied in a seminary but became disenfranchised from the system became radical and then began to face where his radical views took him and those around him. This realization turned his view of the world very realist. Some might call it conservative or very conservative.

Ray and Timmy can only speak in indistinct grunt noises while Lorraine does not speak much at all. Though most of their ages are unknown, Ray mentions his age as 67 years old during the time of the video and Timmy is the youngest at 42 years old and is “like a brother” to Betty. As a side note, the story of secrecy involving getting to photograph the KKK members in Mississippi comes across as very disingenuous as their full names are listed with their photograph. Dr Carson’s life story proves that through the promises of America and consistent hard work, we are not destined to be defined by our challenging circumstances, but rather can pursue happiness and exhaust our potential as was intended by our Creator.”— John Rich, singer and songwriter
