So, I grabbed a public photo of Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park*, a stock photo of a crate, clip art of a fence, and then spent a half-hour or so in Powerpoint concocting an image that I then posted on Google+. I thought the easiest example of this concept is kids of different heights trying to see over a fence.
I was trying to clarify why, to me (and, I generalized, to liberals), “equal opportunity” alone wasn’t a satisfactory goal and that we should somehow take into consideration equality of outcomes. How did this happen? Back in 2012, shortly after th e US elections, I had crafted up a graphic to illustrate my point in an argument I was having with a conservative activist. It was the concept behind my image, but completely redrawn (and by someone with actual artistic talent!). My jaw hit the keyboard…that was my image, but it also wasn’t my image.
The Facebook post my friend sent me showing how far my original graphic had been adapted.
