"Social Justice" has always confused me. So I looked up the Google definition: "justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society." And I'm still confused. Because individuals have different skills, talents, and intelligence. So if you give them EXACTLY EQUAL opportunity, there will be UNEQUAL distribution of wealth. Can't have both equal opportunity and equal distribution of wealth. I'm still confused.

Col Joseph Lenertz - The only distribution of wealth you need to worry about is the one going on right now. The one that is taking from you through higher middle class tax rates and redistributing it to the top 1% through tax cuts and loopholes. Social Justice isn't about wealth redistribution, it's about making sure the people who do the actual work see more of the proceeds from their labor.

Who gets to decide when "social justice" has been achieved? Surely not the folks who have their property stolen!

Thanks for the warning. Now excuse me while I go make sure I don't have any stock in this company in my portfolio. No, I don't object to how they exercise their freedom of speech. I just don't want to invest in companies that would rather use it to waste my investment

My wife works as the HR director and contracts compliance officer for an environmental firm. It is a decidedly "lefty" workplace. All the magazines in the lunch room are either radically environmental, (zero population growth, greenhouse catastrophe, etc.) or socialist economics. The least lefty journal is "Mother Jones". There is a never ending supply of anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-Christian, anti-wealth, and anti-business articles posted on the very large bulletin board. Periodicals and postings that run counter to the lefty culture do not typically last until the end of the day.
My wife and about a half dozen others jokingly refer to them selves as the traditional American moles, but they do not engage in discussions that might reveal their "righty" beliefs. So these companies can say employees can have their social justice days, but there is always intimidation if you must justify them to management that may have a different view on the same issue.

Sgt Wayne Wood - They are very nice people as long as you agendas match. But no I am not surprised. I've never had food or drinks thrown at me during a political discussion by someone whose right of me on the political spectrum; I cannot say the same of those on the left of me.
