people. are. NOT. equal.
whether because of sex, race, or anything else, people are NOT equal.
some people are stupid, some are smart. some people are fast, some are slow. some people are strong, some are weak. some people are crazy, some are not. some people are ARE BETTER THEN OTHERS (at some things).
to say any of these reasons are because of sex, is completely retarded.
however, race can be a factor. race won't CAUSE you to be stupider, weaker, crazier, or anything else. but if for example one race decides to kill every person (in that race) that isn't determined to be atleast however inteligent they decide, and another race doesn't, then the first race will most likely end up being more inteligent.
a real example is blacks have a different bone structure, which gives an advantage to running speed.
is bill gates - someone who was smart enough to write a major OS from scratch - "equal" to someone not smart enough to get up in the morning, and get to their job, without getting lost? i don't think so

lol..... the phrase "All men are created equal" is not meant to be taken literally as you clearly have done.
It means that no person is defective strictly by way of color of the skin, the tools in their toolbox, the language they speak, or the country they come from. It's a really vague way of saying "Don't discriminate", and is not meant to say that all people are of equal intelligence or capability.
Edit: the irony of the inclusion of such a mantra on one of our country's founding documents is that its creators themselves did not follow it true to heart (hi2u slaves)
