Well put.
People seem to struggle with this concept. Consider: if all Black people in America hated all white people, that's only 12% of the population. Honestly, I could pretty easily work around it.
But we already know what happened when all white people in America hated all Black people - slavery and Jim Crow.
Discrimination by the powerful against others is qualitatively different than the reverse. Oppressed people can't oppress, because - duh - they don't have the power.
