Are you an oppressor? What is an oppressor-someone who oppresses other people. That's look at the definition of oppress: op·press verb keep (someone) in subservience and hardship, especially by the unjust exercise of authority. "a system that oppressed working people" synonyms: persecute, abuse, maltreat, ill-treat, tyrannize, crush, repress, suppress, subjugate, subdue, keep down, grind down, ride roughshod over, rule with an iron fist/hand More cause (someone) to feel distressed, anxious, or uncomfortable. "he was oppressed by some secret worry" synonyms: depress, make gloomy, make despondent, weigh down, weigh heavily on, cast down, dampen someone's spirits, dispirit, dishearten, discourage, sadden, get down, bring down Ok.. So keeping that in mind look at your actions and think am I an oppressor? And what are the consequences of me oppressing that person I feel is so beneath me. Maybe you won't see it today, tomorrow or the next day.. but someday you will.
