Social justice means you get judged by your social standing instead of your personal actions, No matter what women are right, blacks are innocent, and gays are ostracized no matter what. And white /straight people ( males especially) are wrong and racist no matter what. That is what is wrong with "social justice" .

1. That definition doesn't mean anything like justice.

2. That's not what the trio ahead were fighting for. Ms. Lucy got into a University on her merits, then was rejected when they realized that she was Black. Mr. Shores, a lawyer, represented her so that she could attend the college she'd earned admission to.

The individuals in the meme had a legitimate complaint, however, Social Justice in 2021 is a joke. a bad one at that. same thing with liberalism, in 1960 - liberals were a force of good, now that are brain dead zombies that rage at butter wrappers and syrup bottles.

So it offends you that people want to change food packaging, and the Washington Football Team's packaging to remove hurtful stereotypes? Companies change their look all the time. Why be so bothered over them updating themselves?

And, second question -- is that ALL that you believe people who fight for social justice do?

No, nothing offends me. But what I find ridiculous is the fact that SJWs completely ignore personal accountability - and if your bring up the actions of the individual, you get called racist or a bigot by the SJWs. for example - Believe all women- that statement is a social justice dog whistle, it is an incredibly inane statement. women don't lie? that is just one example. SJWs look for anything that they can scream "racism" or "sexism" about , and even when facts disprove it, they dig in and maintain the lie.

This sounds like a slippery slope argument at its heart. Because some women can lie, do we start from the assumption that any woman who reports sexual assault is lying?

(And the data consistently shows that women UNDERreport sexual assault, at least in part because they feel that they won't be believed, or will be retaliated against.) So the idea of assuming the accuser's truth as a STARTing position has a practical basis.

if a woman claims sexual assault it should be immediately investigated, not believed. Believing someone simply because of what type of genitalia they have is a slippery slope as well. An investigation results is what should be believed - physical evidence , eye witness reports, DNA evidence- bruising, we as a society, have to return to believing facts, not emotions.

Not because of their genitalia, but because of the violent intimacy of the crime. Male victims of sexual assault face the same stigma.

but nobody says believe all men, if we have to believe all women that claim rape , then we have to believe all men, which means facts and evidence will no longer have a place in convictions. No one should be "believed" - their claims must be investigated , and proven by evidence.

What do you do with a crime that victims often are too traumatized to report for weeks, months, or even years? How much evidence is there?

You start with the presumption that the person reporting it must have a really good reason (ie, probably be telling the truth) because they have just reactivated the original trauma and torched their public life by coming forward. It would take a rare and special troll to do that, so by logic, most of those are real.

The larger point, that I want to reemphasize, is: If "Social Justice" starts to sound bad to you, you are drifting in the direction of Social INjustice. I think perhaps what's triggering for some people is that white men, especially white middle-class men, don't need to have their rights defended as much, so the social justice movement tends to focus on the needs of the less-privileged: people of color, women, LGBTQ+, immigrants. If you don't belong to any of these groups, it might feel like nobody is advocating for YOU. But we all benefit from having a just society for everybody.

And notice, whatever the facts of the case, how the accusation of sexual assault is turned against the alleged victim, before any investigation. imgflip.com/i/4wefuv
