Oppression is more easily endured than insult.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.
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.

I've always hated oppression.
