'Nashville school bans "Harry Potter" series, claim books "risk conjuring evil spirits"'

For reference: Oxford's definition is 'justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.'

In what way that is ' inherently racist and sexist', I am not sure.

You've just commited what I like to call the "dictionary definition fallacy" whereby you assume that just because something is meant to be a certain something on paper it is in any way how that thing is in real life.

Because my friend, if you think that is how the bulk of SJWs act you are living under a rock.

"Social justice" not only is not in any sense of the word justice, it's inherently racist and sexist.

How?

Because social justice is all about judging people based on race, sex, sexual orientation, or some other arbitrary attribute they happened to be born with.

Can you prove that claim

It's as easy as seeing how those who follow it apply their ideology.

I have seen extreme right-wingers like you

using it so much to point that it has lost all meaning considering that it has been used long side with "snowflake" as term to dismiss any opposing opinion.

Kind of like how the regressive left likes to throw claims of racism and sexism around, or calling everyone they don't like Nazis, or alt-right, among other things. Incidentally, I don't think I've ever called anyone a snowflake.

Ironic considering that those that tend to use those are "snowflakes" themselves that need that "safe space" that they claim others needing.

Pointing out that people are everything they claim to hate is in no way asking for a safe space.

For reference: Oxford's definition is 'justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.'

Kind of like how feminism is allegedly about equality, but the actions of those who follow the ideology show it to be otherwise. You can keep pointing at that definition all you want - it doesn't excuse the systemic racism and sexism that the ideology advocates based on the perception of "privilege" that it assigns based on attributes beyond the control of anyone.

In what way that is ' inherently racist and sexist', I am not sure.

If you don't understand why an ideology that discriminates against people based on what race or sex they happened to be born as is inherently racist and sexist, I doubt if anyone could explain it to you.

Now you're just being stupid, Admiral X. I see social justice as a good word because it's the same as social activism, unless you think that is inherently racist or sexist. Human beings are social creatures, period.

Its a word that has been corrupted beyond all recognition.

Well, tbh, I could understand that. In 2016, the sheer number of assholes who identified as "progressive" briefly turned me off to the word. That said, I still believe in progressive ideas and social justice. Just don't be an extreme asshole about it.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Political Correctness has just gone overboard.

Just?

I'm not saying with respect to time lol.

[ProfessorDetective]

Okay, so what is the least poisoned term for 'I want everyone to be respected and given a fair shot at their ideal life, regardless of sex, ethnicity, orientation, or beliefs'?

I'm leaning towards 'egalitarian' but I'm expecting that one to have fallen, too.

Humans are so toxic, they'll ruin any word for somebody, just you watch.

By its detractors.

Convenient how that works for them.
