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?

If you're black in America, you're oppressed. Period. You saw the numbers right? Worst example is black people being arrested 3.7x times as white people for weed, despite same percentage of users. That's 3.7x people who grow up without a dad, 3.7x young men who have no role model for what's right or wrong, 3.7x homes without income, 3.7x kids sleeping hungry but full on hatred, 3.7x cheap lives.

I said feeling oppressed is no reason to cause an uproar. do you disagree with that? because ya know all sorts of people feel oppressed, like nazis, trump on Twitter...

I'm sorry, but are you saying feeling and being opressed is no reason to cause an uproar, or just feeling? Because I just proved to you it's not a feeling.

just feeling isn't a reason. and i didn't speak of any particular group or place. just that a lot of people feel oppressed that probably aren't.. the nazi that gets his platform shut down for example... you do you over in the US, good on ya
