Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group.

What people don't know about oppression is that the oppressor works much harder. You always grew up being told you were not smart enough or not fast enough, but we all lived from the time we were children to beat the system.

When a system of oppression has become institutionalized it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive.

Too often, systems of oppression turn those who are the targets of the oppression against one another.

While everyone's experience of oppression is different and complicated and often overlapping, I really believe that if you have privilege, you need to learn as much as you can about the world beyond yourself.

Oppression is more easily endured than insult.

I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.

I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed.

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters.
