Do you think that the words all men are created equal were intended to apply to all human beings? explain your reasoning.

No, the words "all men are created equal" came from the Declaration of Independence. At that time people still believed in slavery and that the white race was better than all of the others. So, minorities (black, mexican, Puerto Rican, Asian) were left out of the Declaration of Independence. My teacher just taught me this.

I do not think that they apply to human beings in a sense. Humans (We) use the saying among one another, even though many people go through many different things. In the past they stated they were equal, yet they treated the African Americans and other races as lesser beings, as slaves, and as property, when they are human beings too. Nowadays, people still do something very similar. This goes for religion too. Some people believe that if one does not believe in a certain god, they shall not go to the prosperous land after death, that they will be tortured for all eternity. Isn't that basically saying that since we are like this, we get this special thing, whilst since you are not like us, you get to be left out. They are completely biased against other people's belief's, just like in the past how they were biased against people of different races. I could go on this topic, but then again I feel I have put enough for now.
