Do Some Social Justice Advocates Go Too Far?

[merrily]

24. But: It is harder to have social injustice in the face of economic justice, but it's NOT impossible.

As a woman, I've been a victim of economic injustice of various kinds. However, no one crossed the street or moved out of a neighborhood when he or she saw me (or me and my kid) coming. I've never worried about having a cross burned on my lawn or a swastika painted on my kid's school locker or my grandparents' grave stone. I've never worried about a cop shooting my child for brandishing a toy gun or manhandling my daughter for swimming at the wrong pool.

So, while there is a large correlation between social justice and economic justice, those two circles are not concentric.

I understand the tension, given the Sanders campaign. But we cannot focus solely on the place where the two circles intersect and overlook the places whether the two circles do not overlap much, if at all. At the same time, I don't think Sanders does that.
