In reply to the discussion: I Would Like To Put A Question Forward... How Does One Legislate Social Justice ??? [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)answered. This is just the most recent example of WillyT's quest to divide forms of justice into groups and declare that civil rights are not very important. When he posted this statement:
"IT IS THE MONEY... IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE MONEY...It has rarely been about anyone's civil rights...
The good news.... is that you fix income inequality... you make people happy...
And happy people tend to live more in harmony."
I took issue with that. In part because he posted that during the Indiana Religious Freedoms law debate and as Black Lives Matter was doing their activism.
I invite you to look at that thread from the end of March, then also at the virtually identical bait he posted in May. You be the judge.

"Can We Have A Toughtful/Respectful Discussion Of Civil Rights Versus Income Inequality ???"

So after all of that, yes, I do want to know why he is saying that social justice concepts are 'foisted' on people. I posted the definition of 'foisted' which means 'force something unwanted or bad'.
Note that I asked him.
