The oppressor suffers with the oppressed. We just do not recognize theirs because we are rightfully, focusing on ours.
I don't think freedom is possible without peace. Are you free when you are perpetually forced to fight?
Yes and that's the problem. How we start our own nation will set the precedent for its entire existence so beginning with inequality inevitably means the nation's self-destructs like theirs is.
They can't produce equality because their culture has distorted reality such that they don't even know what it looks like. We must extract equity from them in a way (Reparations) that makes them powerless over us.
Humans are humans. We are probably in our predicament because of the Moors in Europe (not making excuses, but pointing out a pattern). Look at how the Jews went from oppressed to oppressor so easily and they don't even realize they did it. It's not a commentary on specific people, is just the pattern. If we are not conscious of how we do things, we just perpetuate the pattern so after we become the oppressor, our descendants will be oppressed.
Of course not, but "don't ask, don't tell" isn't foolproof.
How could something like get even happen? Why are they even able to separate us like that? What are we doing to give them that opening?
