In a developed democracy like the US there are several forms of equality but also inequality.
Equality:
Law: Even though this can be affected by other social factors, under the law all citizens are the same.
Politics: In politics, all citizens hold the same amount of power to choose a leader, or hold positions in the state.
Speech: In the US all citizens have equal rights to communicate their thoughts in the best way they prefer.
Inequality:
Income: There can be a huge difference in the income of a household, and throughout the US it is not distributed fairly.
Gender: It has been demostrated in several studies that the social and economical opportunities are not equal for man and woman.
Race: Even though there have been great advances with this problem in the last century there is still a reality in which the conditions can differ because of the race a citizen has.
