The Social Justice Industry

No culture can afford to ignore the talents of a large percentage of its citizens. Apparently not many cultures can afford the solution.

                                     The Social Justice Industry

By selling expensive liberal arts degrees in “global gender studies” and “feminist studies” [not to mention degrees in “bitterness studies,” “indignation studies” and “grievance studies”] American universities have not only created a new generation of the exhaustively woke, but have also created a booming industry where the new profession of being a full-time social justice warrior can be a profitable gig.

Aside from paying the high-priced professors to persuade the campus community of its inherent racism, the University of Michigan doled out nearly $8.4 million for diversity staff in 2018, where 26 of these “diversicrats” raked in more than $100,000 a year in cash compensation, according to an analysis of the university’s salary database by the center-right American Enterprise Institute. When accounting for staff salaries plus benefits, the university’s 93 diversity-dedicated administrators reaped in $11 million total annually.

Young America’s Foundation spokesman Spencer Brown told The Federalist they’ve been tracking the explosive growth of the social justice industry for years. Isolated campuses continue to breed extremism that ultimately gave rise to the prosperous self-righteous profession today and also gives way to items such as the anti-American 1619 Project.
“Social justice has indeed turned from a cottage industry, largely limited to the bubble of academia, into a multi-million dollar enterprise,” Brown said.

Indeed, according to McKinsey & Company in 2017, American corporations spent about $8 billion annually on diversity trainings, a number certain to skyrocket following the death of George Floyd. Glassdoor.com reports the average base pay for diversity and inclusion consultants meanwhile, a job title on the rise ranges from $70,657 to $107,000 a year.
