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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group.
To hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed.
I've always hated oppression.
A lot of positive psychology is stuck in being the psychology of privilege, and I reject that.
No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.
I was brought up in a world of privilege.
The ability to have a choice in what you do is a privilege.
There is no greater privilege in living than bringing a tiny new human being into the world and then trying to raise him or her properly during the next eighteen years. Doing that job right requires all the intelligence, wisdom, and determination you will be able to muster from day to day.
Oppression is more easily endured than insult.
