The major dilemma of most racial and ethnic minorities is that they do not have a universal measuring guide for arguing their case in city council, agency hearings, courts, legislatures and congress concerning their political, social and economic inequalities.  The three core values of social sustainability provide the universal leverage to argue their case of social injustice and social inequity.  Now they are able to compare their “inequality” to the “equality” of dominant majority groups. 
 
This argument comes with a methodology ––  the Schematic for Validating Social Sustainability that can be used step by step to illustrate those inequities (see here).  
This argument also comes with a rational social sustainability morality for decision-making that empowers minorities to rationally argue their case.
 
As the legal systems of all democratic nations are founded on the archaic morality of decision-making that is over 4,000 years old with many erroneous assumptions, anyone who comes before a court of law or legislature will be plowing new ground, ground that will remain fertile, vibrant and alive for millennia ahead.  The morality of social sustainability is founded on the innate values of our species that have proven over the course of far more than only 4,000 years, but of 40,000 to 500,000 years of our species existence to be a consistent, credible and reliable witness to their validity. 
 
Though the traditional morality of the legal systems of democratic nations has been adequate for societies in past centuries, it is proving more and more inadequate to provide consistent interpretations, conclusions and findings to legal questions and cases; and, is proving more intractable every year as our societies develop more complex relationships between individuals, corporations, governments, society and the environment.  It is a manmade morality and arbitrary.  It is not based on the values that have sustained our species for so many tens of thousands of years.  

Applying a socially sustainable morality using the three core values of our species would create a sustainable, uniform, universal and timeless system of laws.  See here.  
Using the combination of the methodology of the Schematic and a socially sustainable decision-making moral system would go far to help create social justice and social equity that is fair for all people – the common good.
