Social justice matters. Period. "But" nothing.

10. Phony distinction. All political issues are social justice issues.

The housing crisis and bank bailout were an attack on minority communities.

Job killing trade deals are a war on WORKERS and have destroyed black communities in cities like DETROIT, CLEVELAND and BALTIMORE.

When 50 schools are closed in Chicago to make way for the charter school industry, that is a racial attack.

When the water is shut off to thousands in Detroit, that is an attack on black people.

When sea levels rise and drown the poorest neighborhoods in New Orleans and New York City, that is an attack on poor and working class people, particularly people of color.

I'm convinced people who keep instigating this PHONY distinction between "social justice" and whatever else are really just trying to create a wedge for some political advantage.

There are also issues that effect people of color more specifically. Like police should stop harassing and killing black people. And there are way too many people in prison.

And those issues absolutely need to be top priorities. We all agree about that. Yet people try to drive this wedge.
