Add to Subtle Oppression

[BARNETT WEISS]

I think that that Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions    goes well with this discussion as does Moreno's theory of the    process of group norm shift as seen for example in the sociograms of pre    adolescents to adolescents in their choices towards the opposite sex as mentioned by Adam; Early    on, a boy choosing to be with a girl would have been more or less oppressed by    his peers in terms of his choice; later that choice is either not a problem or    is a kind of group norm.
Similarly as Adam mentioned, KKK members,or African Americans of a more militant bent regarding the issues of "Racism," ( distinctions in the language here are so important as noted in the powerfull as yet unpublished work of Reverend Dr. James V. Montgomery on Uniracialism). or in some communities even less militant who choose to be    with or supportive of the other so called "race" can in most instances experience oppression from their own group    as is the case for me when I state my opposition to what the Israeli    Government is doing presently, I am called a "self hating Jew." It is the evolution of the group norm that matters.
