Social justice is when Zer0 gives me half of his windfall book advances.

[Tarpon]

Anti-Colonialism — What happened in Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe, that’s social justice ... Now they all starve together.

Cater did it all by himself.

"What Is ‘Social Justice’ Anyway?"

That's where something thinks they have more right to your money than you do.

[smonk]

it's whatever barack obama (or his "social justice czar", as soon as he appoints one) says it is. and that's the problem.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If by social justice these esteemed clergy intended to mean the government dole, they don’t get what the old Hebrew prophets admonished, which was to exercise PRIVATE charity towards the poor. Such acts of charity were described as “righteousness” — not the same term used for justice as exercised by courts.

[oyez]

Social reprisal.

[listenhillary]

Redistribution of wealth from those that are producers to those that are moochers.

[Ben Mugged]

Liberals cultivate our conscience then, as Shakespeare says, “Conscience makes cowards of us all”.

[Paytriot]

sounds like a fancy way of saying revenge...

[Paine in the Neck]

You have something I want.

I can’t be bothered to work for my own.

I’ll have a politician make you give yours to me.

That’s social justice.

[skeeter]

“Social Justice” = give us everything we demand because your daddy was mean to us.

[La Lydia]

Social Justice: I want YOU to give all your money to HIM, to resolve some “unfair situation” rooted in the past. I, however will keep my money because I am morally superior to you.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

We have mortgaged our liberty in pursuit of “justice”. In an America run by liberals, ultimately we will have neither.

[MrB]

That’s certainly what it comes down to.

They intentionally keep the definition of “social justice” amorphous so that they can use it as an excuse and talking point in their “politics of envy” rhetoric.

If someone uses it in your presence, stop them and demand the define what they mean by it.

What is 'Social Justice'?

A code word for "Communism."

[jimfree]

Social justice is how somebody will spend MY money.

[Disambiguator]

“Social Justice” is one of those handy-dandy progressive euphemisms that is high-sounding, yet unremarkable in reality, since it simply means redistribution of wealth.

Any time you hear some demagogue talk about “justice” (especially if he is surnamed Jackson or Sharpton) what they are saying is “give me some money.”

[dfwgator]

The thing is more and more at my Catholic Church I hear the term thrown about, makes me cringe.

[Hacklehead]

“What is ‘Social Justice’? A code word for “Communism.”

Bingo. Its a term used almost exclusively by communists. When you hear it, you know exactly what you are dealing with.
