CMV: Throughout all of history, the Majority always oppresses the Minority

Delta(s) from OP

I would say this is just something I've notice thanks to my interest in history. The sheer amount of examples is just overwhelming. The Tutsi and Hutu, catholics and protestants (the oppressed and oppresser change depending on the country it is happening in), Christians and Jews, Russians and Ukrainians, Europeans and Natives. All of this has made me belive that, no matter the origin or beliefs of any kind of group, so long as they are in the majority, they will find a why to oppress another minority group. I would say that this falls under the whole US vs THEM thing, where the only difference between two groups that is nessasery for conflict is the fact that the two groups are not each other. I've posted this mostly because I was feeling a bit depressed about the idea of this (I don't have depression but it did make me feel a bit sad).
