Gosh, person who can probably walk away from an oppressive situation easily, please tell me more about how things in life are not easy or simple.

It's not something I had ever considered, what with being part of an oppressed minority.

See here's something that was really hard for me to learn as a CIS white person:. There are some times and places where my opinion is not required or appreciated. Those are the times in which I best help the cause by standing back, listening, and letting people more directly affected by the topic at hand speak of their own experiences.

This, I find, is the most difficult thing for majority populations to understand. Because for so long everything was about in catered to them.

And when these times come, and I don't recognize them right away, getting mad at the oppressed minority is wrong.
My anger should be directed towards the source of the oppression. Not the people experiencing

Always punch up, never punch down.
