 Based on the above photo, a myriad of similarities can be observed. The same colors are utilized in this controversial advertisement, but they have different meanings in certain cases. Red, white, and blue are used repeatedly in the image, however within the flags for example, the meanings are different. Each color is alike to other parts of the image, but distinct in meaning. Finding the differences in these same colors, can raise awareness to how our society views things the same if they look the same, and show that things that may not be the same can be related. Many people are identical in race, but possess a plethora of differences. People usually relate to their own kind, or many racist may treat their own race equally. If identical things obtain distinctions, then why can't society treat the things that differ identically? Races may be identical but possess several differences, thus races that are not identical may possess similar things. Observing how the same colors are used, but the meaning of the objects are different, can exemplify how society could view different things the same ways. 

Red, white, and blue are the main colors causing the image to have a unified tone; they are used in both flags, and in both people. Typically an image may have certain colors conveying a certain meaning, however this image is different. Firstly, if you observe the heads of both figures in the image you will notice they share something in common. Both figures are wearing something that shares the color white. The child figure is wearing a white hoodie, while the policeman figure is wearing a mask relating to the Ku Klux Klan. The color white is shared, while the connotation differs greatly. The child figure is simply wearing a hoodie, or normal piece of clothing, while the man is wearing a Ku Klux Klan mask. One represents a normal article of clothing, while the other is a mask used to invoke terror on others. 

The same colors are also utilized in the flag. The color white is also used in both flags, the American and Confederate flag, present in the image. In the American flag, the stars are the color white. The white also means purity and innocence in the flag, as well as in the confederate flag. Furthermore, another color presented is red. The color appears in both flags as well. The color red usually represents hardness, and valor. In addition blue is used on both flags. The color represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. The same colors are used, however meaning in each flag is very much different. The Confederate flag has been recently been viewed negatively due to reflection on history and a recent tragedy in the state of South Carolina. The Confederate flag has ties with history but it still is viewed with a negative filter. Each flag greatly differs, which causes controversy, but they are connected through the use of the same colors. 

In the past, minorities are treated differently because they were not identical to the majority. Seeing how the colors in the advertisement meant different things but were identical can also show how things that aren't the same possess similarities. African Americans can have similarities to other races. Native Americans might not look the same as Indians, but they share similarities. Our society often views a certain race in a certain way. Society needs to stop putting a filter on different types of people because they may have a lot in common with you even if they don't look the same as you. An African American male may have the same job or same roles as another person. Simply if someone doesn't look like you, doesn't mean they don't have something in common.

All in all, identical things possess differences, therefore non-identical things may contain similarities. Just as the same colors contain differences, different things may contain similarities. Looking at the contrast in meaning, we can conclude that the society is very different, however if things only worked together based on how their looks related, the world would be very much different. Many of us would not be here, because men would not interact with women because they aren't identical to each other. Altogether if the display is different, the in inner display may be similar!
