Doing Away With "Down"?

[melaninmagic]

If by "exists in thought and speech" you mean in my imagination, then yes. I'd have to agree.

However, what exists in my imagination does not necessarily exist in physical reality. And in my estimate, existing in physical reality is the most important thing. What is in my imagination is inconsequential, and not worth discussion.

The assumption I made was that when you posted the original question, you were refering to "Justice" within the context of physical reality and not within the context of physical imagination.

The actual word Justice exists in thought if you are thinking about the word, and in speech if you are uttering the word. These are still imaginary products until someone actually produces the product.

Justice within the context of Neely Fuller's definition is NOT just a word. It is more importantly a physical product. Injustice is also a physical product based on Neely Fuller's definition. They cannot exist if they were not produced. Speech and thought cannot bring a product from the realm of imagination into the realm of physical reality.

For instance, I may say "Vanilla-Strawberry-Chocolate Cake and Justice exists".

Because the actual words exist, does this necessariily mean that the products to which these words refer exist? Or course not! Only by action, can these two items be made manifest.

Persons classified as Non-White do not possess the ability to produce the product called Justice. The persons who classify themselves as White do not have the desire to produce the product called Justice. Therefore, the product called Justice does not exist, even though the actual word Justice exists in thought and speech.

I am forced to talk about it because I am responding to your original post by supplying you with an answer. I cannot do this without refering to the subject of the post.

I understand that the most I can do is compensate for the lack of Justice, but cannot actually produce it. As stated, the product called Justice and the product called Injustice are mutually exclusive. I am able to think and talk about it, but cannot action it into existance. I have never deviated from this.

Your original question was: "Why do people say that you can't have justice and injustice in the same universe at the same time?"

My explanation provides, as best as I can, an answer to this question.

I am inclined to suspect that Mr. Neely Fuller and for that matter, anyone else who suggests that Justice cannot exist in the same universe as Racism/White Supremacy would also agree with my conclusion for exactly the same reasons.

If my answer is insufficient for you, then I cannot do any more than this.

Logic cannot determine the truth of its premise. This is done by another faculty.

To say that one cannot have Justice & Injustice at the same time is problematic. This suggests one condition must be eliminated for the other to exist. See where that's going? If not careful, such logic could potentially lead a well intentioned individual to unwittingly become what they claim to be against.

But is this not what Neely Fuller was trying to get at in the first place?

That Justice cannot be practiced/produced as long as the system of Racism/White Supremacy exists (Injustice)?
