It has always been seen that social justice has been equally unfair for years and years. But this is actually untrue because we have hidden the fact that we have our racially segregated past is much part of the socially unjust. We have forgotten the fact that not 60 years ago our country was still segregated due to the laws people followed called Jim Crow Laws. These laws have hindered the ability for African Americans and other races that where not white to be separated from those who were white. Even though they were said to be separate but equal, the fact was the many African American children were deprived the right to an equal education because of the color of their skin. It wasn’t just education; it covered everything from water fountains to social security. Due to these laws we made our society an unjust and unequal society. Is that social justice? I would say not because even though a person usually have the opportunity to better themselves, not in this case because we discriminated so much that we psychologically damaged them. Any person that was seen as not part of the “white class” thought there was something genetically wrong with them. This is not fair because every person should have an equal opportunity as the next man, no matter of skin color gender, height what be it.
