We are at a point where people are no longer fighting for equality instead fighting for inequality. We don't need preferential treatment of any group or race. I'm in the equal opportunity not equal results camp. Do away with everything that gives anyone preferential treatment including but not excluded to affirmative action and hiring people because of quotas. Make companies be transparent with hiring practices not force them to hire minorities because they need to meet a quota. This actually hurts minorities because their co workers will always think that they were a quota hire.
Have a Chinese friend, living here in TX, he gets yelled at and threatened all the time if he's seen out. People are blaming him for this virus, but he's 3rd gen American, WTF!!!!
The problem with Social Justice is that creates more problems than solution. Another problem is people with this thinking never reflect that some of us don't want them to fight on my behalf.
Social justice warriors have got all wrong. The greatest thing you can do to fight for social justice is support candidates who celebrate individual liberty. Individual liberty doesnt give power to the institution but the individual. Everytime you support candidates who speak to the common good of mankind without any regard for individual liberty you are supporting power of the state. The institution.
I am worried that social justice is taking a back seat to economics right now, with this crisis what else will that take away from us to satisfy their need for profit?
Social justice simply means that the EFFORT you put into your economic life will have to tangible benefits, since the fruits of those labors will be seized by people who do nothing themselves, and will take your money and hand it out to people who live wasteful lives.
This was a dull talk, you didn't bring up anything I haven't heard before. Yes, I agree that attitudes have changed in western society with regards to the LBG community. The issue is the trans community. Speaking for myself, I will support trans people but there are so many people claiming to be trans but all they are doing is jumping on a train they think is trendy at the moment. It is difficult to support a group when you don't know if they are genuine or not.
Most reasonable people do accept trans-gender people, but some areas exist where there must be separations. Trans women in sports. Trans women in prisons. Medical treatments for trans people. I keep hearing about violence against trans women of color. Then you find out it is almost always their boyfriend or family member committing the violence; the kind of violence that occurs all of the time, unfortunately, also among cis people.

Thank you for this uplifting and inspiring review of recent trends and your latest research in progressive social change.
great talk agreed.
As a Latino, I hate it. It makes me sick.
What an important talk as such a time, maybe this will move us all towards social justice over dollars.
You poor brainwashed girl
@@plinyelder8156 oh look a troll
Immigrants do not agree. They want dollars not social justice
No! Social justice creates more problems than solutions. And those activists to speak on my behalf. Calling out a troll is just silly.
Thanks for this talk!
These days we don't debate or discuss, its all fists clenched argument, I get it but getting over it isnt so easy, but needs to be done.
yes it does

I cant believe trump is still talking about getting back to work, like people dont matter as much as money.
You’re kidding right????
@@plinyelder8156 no I am not!
If I decide to work harder to earn a bigger profit, that is MY business. Keep your nose out !!
