SenkeiSays: People throw around the word "oppression" like its confetti

samuraisenkei:

Stop that BULLSHIT. You can’t be oppressed by TUMBLR.

By TEXT.

You wanna know what oppression looks like?

I swear people get on my muthafuckin NERVES with this. Oppression is when your RIGHTS are being violated. Everything outlined in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is what you are entitled to. If you are being denied any of these than you are oppressed. 

Oppressed is not what happened to your ancestors. Its not an INHERITANCE. It is an ONGOING ACT that’s used to VIOLATE your RIGHTS as a PERSON. Its not your right that everyone uses language you approve of. Its not your right that everyone stop what they’re doing because you’re offended. That is what we call a courtesy. Something that kind, intelligent, and compassionate human beings practice. 

But you are NOT entitled to it just because:

You’re not white

You’re not cisgendered

You’re not heterosexual

You’re not religious

You have the right  to be angry. 

But you are not fucking oppressed if someone makes a joke that gets you butthurt. And honestly, its kind of insulting to the people who actually had to live through REAL oppression. Like being torn from their homes and slaughtered like animals. 

Oppression is not: “A black girl made fun of me in 8th grade for being white :[“

Oppression is not: “Someone on tumblr made a joke about Justin Bieber having a vagina and I’m trans*” 

Oppression is not: “UNDER GOD IS IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE/PEOPLE KEEP SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS AND I DONT CELEBRATE—”

This post cannot oppress you. Because this post cannot do ANYTHING to you except hurt your feelings and potentially make you cry. That’s it. 

I can’t with you whiny, preachy, entittled fuckers anymore.
