Civil Rights vs Social Justice
<p>When I was young, we worked for civil rights. Today people work for social justice.

But if you think word choices matter — which the social justice community does vehemently — these changes are significant.</p>
<p>1. Civil rights workers defined their causes by what they supported: equality, integration, peace. Social justice activists define their causes by what they oppose: anti-racism, anti-war, anti-capitalism, etc.</p>
