If you are part of a majority that controls the power and wealth how can you be oppressed?  People can hold personal racial bias against you, but they can not oppress you.  It isn't "sytematic" discrimination.

Maybe we are just disagreeing on the definition of "discriminatio" and "oppression", but I 100% stand by my position that it is ridiculous for a white person to claim they have been oppressed bvy minorities in the United States.

I think a lot of us will agree that oppression and discrimination are very different. I can be discriminated against as a white male if I go into a store or restaurant in Baltimore and am ignored or not helped. 

Oppression, however, is very different, and I can safely say that in no point in my life have white males been oppressed in the United States. 

I only went back a few messages, but it seems like Dino and JWB were talking about discrimination.
