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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When a system of oppression has become institutionalized it is unnecessary for individuals to be oppressive.
To hold a people in oppression you have to convince them first that they are supposed to be oppressed.
Too often, systems of oppression turn those who are the targets of the oppression against one another.
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.
The oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history.
Any kind of civil rights oppression is wrong.
No oppression is so heavy or lasting as that which is inflicted by the perversion and exorbitance of legal authority.
Nothing turns out to be so oppressive and unjust as a feeble government.
You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt.
I think that all people who feel that there is injustice in the world anywhere should learn as much of it as they can bear. That is our duty.
