Oppression

Oppression happens in many ways; it comes as discrimination. As seen in the article racism is a bad thing and it favors some more than others. White privilege can be scary and very difficult especially for those who are not of that race. Being treated badly because of the way you look should not be a thing. When people have white privilege, they are allowed to do many things easily, they can even do something bad and get away with it nowadays.  But for people of color, they can get killed just be walking or what they wear, and we have been fighting and screaming for our rights for years and it does not seem to take us anywhere. Our grandparents who have been fighting still join us and see no difference. Although not everyone is racist, there are being who know what the right thing is to do. Women of color are also affected and can be worse, it is possible they won’t get a job because they are woman and labeled as weak which is terrible wrong, but they might also not get it because of their race. How can people be wicked and not think about how they feel and how it affects their family. Hating people because of their skin or gender is entirely wrong, society has made it normal when it is not, and people need to know not everything is right because everyone else says so. Having people brave enough to protest and risk their lives really does go a long way because then we can be heard. 

            When people finally realize how is easy it is for them to do things without worry and then notice people of color can not relate. They start understanding how difficult it has been.  A person of color cannot go out and night with a hoodie in peace. This has happened to someone I know, he was going out at night, the hood was covering his head, he had to leave for work, did not have a choice. He was worried about not getting to work at all, getting jumped and so many other things. Your mind is just at war because some people choose to not live-in unity. Oppression on women does take a toll on them because they feel like they cannot be good enough, they are being given negative thoughts to think about and that messes with their minds. It causes a lot of stress when you are trying to be good enough but not being accepted or recognized. More women prefer to be their own boss and not work under men because of oppression and there is not wrong with working under them if you are not affected. I have noticed people who oppress others intend to be in charge and take over and it should not always be like that. Women do try because if its not discrimination it can be harassment and men tend to have it easy going and why is that?
