The word "oppression," used by John Leo in this column should be deconstructed. The entire idea of "oppression" was invented by sociologists and psychologists who had time on their hands to invent theories because other men were smart enough to build a society that gave intellectuals leisure time. Before these inventions, we all worked the fields.

"Oppression," like "racism" and "sexism" is an invented concept, designed to assail whites for being innivators. There is no real oppression -- only winner and losers, only smart and stupid. If the "oppressed" groups could have invented things they would have. If they could have "won" they would have. When Ben Franklin invented the printing press, was he "oppressing" those not smart enough to do so?

We need to start taking the language back from anti-white sociologists who twisted it. If you're reading this, remember white men brought you the techology to do so -- and the freedom of speech so that it gets read.
