The United States ranks "Below Average" for social justice. Yeah I cannot say that surprises me after witnessing the police response to the OWS protesters.

From Media Caffeine:

Compared to the rest of the world, the United States ranks surprisingly low when it comes to “social justice” metrics. 

Those watching or participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement would only disagree with the surprise-aspect of the graphic. They’re aware of the problems facing Americans today. 

Still, it’s amazing to see some of the countries ranked better than the US on these metrics. 

What happened to “the Land of the Free”?

Here is the graphic.  So now you can all feel as badly as I do.

If the graphic will not enlarge for you when you click it, just click the link at the top.

I can tell you one thing, country's do not improve by constantly referring to themselves as "the greatest nation on earth." If we want to truly be the best, we have to be honest with ourselves and stop bullshitting our people about how the world perceives us.
