I have no doubt you were oppressed but I also don't doubt that if you were Black, that oppression would have been worse. When I say white women helped white men uphold slavery in the South, I take it from books I've read about the era. There is plenty of documentation of cruelty inflicted on slaves via the mistress of the plantation. I don't blame you for that. But I do think our society owes reparations to Black people who've been systematically oppressed in a variety of ways for hundreds of years.

Women have also been oppressed. And lower classes, too. But not to the same degree as Black people in the U.S.

I'm all for taking down the top 1%. It's obscene the wealth they are allowed to accumulate. I think diverse people of all races and classes and genders should work together to take down the patriarchy which puts rich white men on the top of a sick pyramid of injustice. Although our skills and talents vary, no one human is better than another on an essential level, and its criminal to let our brothers and sisters die of poverty and illness on the streets because we want to take our friends on a joyride to the moon or order up another latte.
