“No group that faces systemic oppression can oppress the group in the systemic way they have been oppressed.”

I think this is SO important for more people to remember when considering these issues.

So much of this I think is based on perspective, experiences, and honestly, age. In a different era, these opinions were almost considered cultural norms for many. It is hard to turn that battleship around with some people now, though that is not an excuse either for harboring opinions such as these.

You raise some very good points here in this piece!
