Here's my point system for infallible social "analysis."

You get minus ten points for being each of the following:

Old
White,
Christian,
Conservative,
Male,
Rich,
Pro-U.S.A.
Pro-Israel
European Descent

You get zero points for being each of the following:

Heterosexual
Asian
Politically moderate
Middle Class
Jewish
Gay male
Transgender-born a male
Female
American Indian (North America)

You get plus ten points for being each of the following:

Young
Black
Non-white Latino
Muslim
Liberal-Left-Progressive
Socialist
Communist
Feminist
Lesbian
Transgender - born a female
Poor
Third World

I'm proud to say I'm minus ninety.
Wow.

So it just happens to be that ALL 9 ITEMS THAT YOU ARE you think that society sees as a negative? I doubt that this is mere coincidence.

Talk about a "victim mentality".....

For a real laugh, visit the tumblr blog, "wtfsocialjustice.tumblr.com"

Those are real people. Mostly young. Most will probably grow out of it. But many will not.

Again there's nothing wrong with social justice. We are all beneficiaries of some social justice initiative that took root some time ago. It's just that the latest rounds of social justice are misguided and have misconceptions of disparities in today's society.

Hold on, that sounds like historocentric thinking.

A WITCH! GET HIM!

The problem is that this isn't a respected publication but rather a forum where anyone can post.

As such, with all the nutjobs posting around here, you have to have some consideration to the concept that it's often a fat waste of time to start reading some looooong post when most times it's nothing but a partisan pile of lies and garbage.

  • don't go to any of the **insert victim class name here** Resource Centers on campus
  • don't attend any college that is only recently co-ed.
Right off the bat, that will eliminate 80-90% of all your SJW interactions. After that, simply stay away from festivals, **insert cause name here** Days, and any large gatherings of young people in any large metropolitan area's parks or open spaces. Oh, and avoid political forums on the Internet. It's a pretty easy SJW-free existence by following a few simple rules.
Would SJWs take American Studies?

SJW kinda sounds like the American Nazi party whose leader was eventually shot by a fellow party member....or Malcomn X gunned down by his former associates.

Anytime you start getting people together with extreme views, they tend to be so impossible to work with that they actually implode on themselves.

Heck, the West Baptist Church had members splinter off and those were FAMILY.
