Social Justice = Tyranny
Blind Justice = Liberty
Equity is ownership. Typically, it requires some method of buy-in to obtain. Being black or a woman or any other grouping that you have no control over is not buy-in. Never will be.
Equity is just another word for communism. It is what it is. Equity = oppression
The flaw in social justice begins with the flaw in its premise. The social justice movement was founded on the idea that slavery was the primary driving force that created the United States, and that as such, the founding, and the country itself, were illegitimate.
But Even if that premise were true — and it is not — this country’s attitude toward slavery changed so much that hundreds of thousands lost their lives during the Civil War to bring an end to slavery. One hundred years later, many fought to abolish Jim Crow laws, bringing legal equality to all races. That would not have happened if attitudes about race had not changed dramatically. Race-neutral attitudes have taken a huge leap forward over the past 250 years.
If attitudes toward slavery and race have long since matured and moved toward a race-neutral position, then social justice is trying to right a wrong which no longer exists. The social justice movement ignores this attitudinal change and is in many ways reversing that progress.
Equity != Equal opportunity
Equity is punishing whites and certain Asians to help “tan” people to have equal results.
Europe is Europe, and Africa is Africa for biological reasons.
Also, equity just means Communism.
But it doesn't -- there must also be someone to blame. Preferably someone with deep pockets. Like all of those White Devils, for example.
Really? Where?
Slavery aside, my view is simple: Who sets the “Social Justice” laws? Where are they written? Can I read them somewhere? Are there penalties? How are they enforced and by whom? Can I appeal a ruling? Can the laws be amended or changed? By whom? What are their qualifications? Do offenders have any right to a fair trial? …
Social Justice is better described as “Socialist Just-Us”.
Just keeping the terms straight.
RE: Really? Where?
Maybe we should consult Plato’s work because everything we know about Socrates came from his writings.
Exactly.
And Plato was a bilious blowhard.
RE: And Plato was a bilious blowhard.
And it was from His REPUBLIC that the seeds of Communism and Big Government were sown.
Social justice. Thievers license.
Special treatment is NOT equal treatment. Not too hard to figure that out. Well not hard for some people. 😧😁👍
The word justice is just like the word perfect. They only make sense when they stand alone. The meaning of both is lost as soon as a modifier is added.
Those that claim identity victimhood are no better than useful idiots from the Soviet era. They don’t even know what they are protesting in the Burning, Looting and Murdering.
I blame the leftist education establishment and their indoctrination efforts over the last 40+ years. These groomers are not just producing sexual deviants. They are producing useful idiots. History is dumbed down and altered with Marxist ideology, often while abusing the definition of words.
I am so adamantly against this and have always been. I refuse to change my usage of the American language that I learned in my formative years. That is one battlefront in the war against these Commies. If we cede our language we surrender our thoughts, ideas and arguments to the enemy. (Yes, I mean enemy in the truest form of the word, and war with all its blood, gore and horrors might be required to vanquish the enemy.)
Their opening gambit is always slander and nothing they say can ever be taken at face value.
Social Justice , Social Distancing etc etc , Hmm a lot of social crap
