Oppression is something that has been prevalent throughout our classes. After all, things such as racism are deeply rooted within many societies and America is no different. The topic for discussion here, however, is the thought of a violent response to oppression. Should oppression be met with a violent response.
I personally feel that violence is not a solution to the problems that are faced. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, after all. Unfortunately in situations of racism, oppressing in everyday interactions including schools, violence is occasionally an end that is reached. Peaceful protests can be met with police brutality or protests can turn violent in serious cases.
To answer the question; no. Oppression should not be met with a violent response. Rather, protests and cases should be used. While deeply rooted opinions are hard or seemingly impossible to change, changes are made all the time. The important thing to remember is that violence is not the only way to bring a change.
