Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land where justice is a game.
It would, I think, be hard for anyone to make the case that the United States is a just society or anything close to a just society. In America today, there is massive injustice in terms of income and wealth inequality. Injustice is rampant.
Massive inequality, we have learned, isn't the best way to run an economy after all. And when you think about it, it's also profoundly ugly.

If anybody had a reason to become a delinquent, to become a criminal, to be angry at the man, to be angry at the white man, to be angry at America, it's my dad, but he did not feel that way at all.
National injustice is the surest road to national downfall.
What our country really is, the home of oppression and injustice, a nightmare of misery, an inferno of suffering and human hell, a jungle of wild beasts.
I am not satisfied as long as the Negro sees life as a long and empty corridor with a "No Exit" sign at the end. The cup of endurance has run over.
Today, we seem to be striving towards injustice, applauding it as though it's a worthy dream, made sacred by the caste system.
On all levels American society is rigged. I am troubled by the cynical immorality of my country. It cannot survive on this basis.
Capitalism is like math. It is amoral. It is good at producing wealth; it's bad at distributing wealth. Unless it operates within a moral framework it will produce an unjust society.
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Witnessing injustice, in person, leaves an indelible mark.
I was a child of privilege and I woke up to a world on fire.
That's what 'Hell On Earth' was about: we felt that we were living in hell.
Freedom without opportunity is a devil’s gift.
It is an understatement to say that in this society injustices abound: in truth, it is itself the quintessence of injustice.
