I agree with some of this. But I also think this aspect of the general movement is amplified beyond its importance by opponents of it. Opponents want to distract from this moment by focusing on statues being taken down when in reality it's such a tiny portion of what has happened.
Social justice however is too broad of a term. Police brutality would been considered a social justice issue a few years ago and it was a legitimate issue.
