But you're right, it is not the role of the oppressor to make correction, or often even to interlope on these conversations.BTSFbloghttp://bytheirstrangefruit.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-50817217297832158612014-06-30T08:54:59.296-04:002014-06-30T08:54:59.296-04:00Are angry oppressed people ever wrong in how they ...Are angry oppressed people ever wrong in how they see things, in their interpretations? Does anyone ever correct those things? I recognize that the privileged person is not the one who points that out, but does anyone? americanwoman343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-34866642219928090342014-03-29T14:40:17.299-04:002014-03-29T14:40:17.299-04:00Not sure if I understand the two choices, but I in...Not sure if I understand the two choices, but I interpret Christena's words to suggest that we lose credibility to speak prophetically when we lead an unexamined life in our own perpetuation of the situation. Too often we come into situations of injustice sanctimoniously explaining what the oppression should do to get their own selves out of a situation that we are in fact upholding ourselves.BTSFbloghttp://bytheirstrangefruit.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475128319218423248.post-84513580896238943092014-03-27T10:40:07.637-04:002014-03-27T10:40:07.637-04:00Glad it was helpful!

Do you mean this in the specific context of a person of privilege experiencing anger/pushback from an oppressed person? Or do you mean this in the wider sense? I am fully on board with the first scenario, and not so much on the second.D.L. Mayfieldhttp://dlmayfield.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
