social justice

The article is a Blog, posted by Rachael on Social Justice League on April 26,2012. It revolves around a simple idea, that is sometimes misinterpreted by people according to the blogger: The aspects of social justice through words. Rachael takes a side from the very beginning of the blog, confirming eagerly that niceness isn’t even an important part in social justice. Then, the blogger defined social justice as being the “Destruction of systematic marginalization and privilege”, adding to that the fact that just conduct must not be mistaken with respectfulness/courteousness. The author then goes as far as linking niceness with evil, as further proof of its insignificance when paired with oppressive comments.Rachael wasn’t finished with niceness here. She added that the dominant classes could define “nice” and force it on the people down the “food chain”, thus gaining power and undeserved respect.Furthermore, she highlighted the difference between hurting someone’s feelings (being mean), and oppressing someone (racism, homophobia…). Rachael concluded her blog with a motivational ideology, and the ultimate goal, which is to take back the rights that have been deprived from us by society.
