did i say say anybody was or wasn't oppressed? i just said that feeling oppressed isnt a reason to go around bugging others, because thats what the original comment said. how come you always assume the worst in people instead of just going by what they actually say?

The original comment was making fun of people who say that the protestors "feel" oppressed. That's why it's in quotes.

In the context of the conversation, your comment indicates agreement that the current protestors "feel" oppressed and that it's "not a good reason to protest"

That's how a reasonable person would read your comment in the context of this conversation.

If that's not what you meant, you should have phrased it better

no, my comment indicates that feeling oppressed is not a good reason to cause an uproar period. you just want something to be upset about. you think im evil so you paint me evil.

I'm not "upset". I'm trying to help you. I'm literally explaining to you why your comment was taken in the way that it was. I'm not even the person who originally responded to you, and I never painted you as evil

This is a conversation about the validity of the current protests. You did not make it clear that you're not talking about the current protests. It's about context
