The website "Where Race Lives" ties many different events and theories in to the concept of social justice. It shows how much race really did and still does affect people's lives. Many people believe that the government has taken actions to help lower class people, but in reality the help never reached the people that truly needed it. When the government started social security and programs to help people on homes it excluded many lower class people. Non-whites were not eligible to benefit from many programs. These people are the ones that really needed it. So even though the government appeared to be adding social justice agendas, they really did not. It cannot be just if it excluded people due to race.
In the past people had very negative views towards non-whites. People even excluded them from work and housing when the law prohibited it. However, law enforcement agencies were often racist and did not stop them. It was very difficult for minority people to find a place to live and work. It has been found that neighborhoods can decline just because of people's deceptions of having African Americans and Latinos move in despite the fact they have not caused any trouble. People just had the mindset that these people were bad for the area. This idea is the exact opposite of social justice. These prejudices are completely unfair. Today many aspects of life has improved for non-whites, and they are included in the government's programs. However, people still experience racial acts, and the world still has a long way to go before it can be socially just.
