Equality, Equity, and Social Justice

[@eugeneelar2231]

What is needed?who decides what is needed?producing one size shoe isn't equality because it doesn't fit everyone equally.The people with boxes leaves out they don't need different boxes they need to move where they can see and being shorter is a physical characteristic and you can't change that.People are not equal and you can't make them equal

Equity means everyone gets the same things. This is not fair or Just. Because those that do more should get more. Justice is "you reap what you sow", if we could design a system that delivered this consistently it would be a perfect system of Justice. Social Justice is not Justice, because I not only don't I reap what I sow, I reap the results of what some person (or group) did 50 or 100 or 200 years ago that I have no relation to accept that they look like me (sort of, in general).

you said , "I reap the results of what some person (or group) did 50 or 100 or 200 years ago that I have no relation to accept that they look like me (sort of, in general)." That is America and most countries in a nutshell. Wealth that was obtained 50 , 100 , 200 years ago by nefarious means can be passed down to many generations - yours included. Likewise injustice, oppression that was committed and continually perpetuated through unfair laws can result in a LACK of Wealth and can also be passed on from generation to generation. The question is- what are YOU going to do about it to right the wrong in this? yep I said YOU because if you reaped the benefits of a flawed system that passed on wealth to you then if you continue in the system you are complicit in the continuance of that system.

@@HonestReviewerc Only 21% of millionaires received any inheritance at all. Just 16% inherited more than $100,000. And get this: Only 3% received an inheritance at or above $1 million! BTW: I earned what have. You are gas lighting because you don't want to take responsibility for your life. Our system isn't perfect, it is better than all the others. (4% of the population, 25% of world GDP)

You can never achieve actual justice for everyone.
