That is my main problem with the idea that economic justice leads to social justice. It never has before because racism. Even the New Deal was distributed unfairly, black women got ripped off big time because many were domestic workers and got left out. Loans were unfair for blacks. Once we worked for the new deal, we got screwed and left behind. Makes no sense to make the same mistake. Social justice has to be right out in front.
