Martin Luther King fought equally hard for civil rights and economic equality.

152. Expecting Social justice to follow economic justice is, at best naive.

And a form of toxic racism at worst. It ignores the blood, sweat and tears of women, of PoC, of GBLT's who have fought decades for social justice. We fought for laws to be passed to ensure social justice, which included the right to not be discriminated against in whatever workplace, whatever workplace environment there is. Yet there is still discrimination. We still have an incredible amount of work to do. I'm an active Union member. I don't ignore economic justice, ever. It's worth noting that being "othered" in workplaces, whether that comes from race, gender or sexual orientation has been and continues to be a significant problem that impacts both social and economic justice for these populations.

I am, quite frankly appalled at the apparent lack of knowledge of social justice struggles as well as the lack of acknowledgment of how hard marginalized people have had to fight for basic human rights.

As far as the primary--I want a Democrat.
