Like many black men who surrender to the temptation to become oppressor for a day, Ali occasionally did the white man's work for him, like when he viciously painted Joe Frazier as a racial sellout during the buildup to their third, most consequential battle in the Philippines in 1975.

My social media feeds are filled with competing rhetorical obsequies where it seems that many (but not all) of my black and Muslim followers remember Castro as a liberator of oppressed people, while many (but not all) of my white and Cuban friends remember him as an evil oppressor.

As Republican backing for Israel surges thanks to the rise of evangelicals in their coalition and President Trump's close alignment with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, an increasingly liberal Democratic Party is growing more uneasy with a country they see as an oppressor of a marginalized group, the Palestinians.

The other side of this call to resistance is that it defines empowerment as a stance or a free-flowing force to be exercised by anyone, including women — in fact, Douglas frequently seems to cast the woman of color as the diametric opposite of the white male oppressor.

Wintrich, McGinness, and Martin Shkreli, who is either involved with #DaddyWillSaveUs or simply invoked to describe the plight of the embattled cis white male, conservative startup, vat-grown entrepreneur, are now framing Pierogi as a symbol of the larger art world, a type of institutional oppressor and stifler of free speech.

Then we got wrapped up in the region, the Taliban became our enemy, we attacked Hussein because "oil," and all of a sudden the United States was officially the Big, Bad Oppressor all over Africa, not just to Khomeini and Gaddafi but to every tribal or government leader around. Yay!

The once-exclusive area is now home to rich and poor alike, oppressor and oppressed: a mesh of shacks, occupied by the poor and dispossessed, alongside grotesque mansions and perennially unfinished brick houses, their owners mostly politicians out of favor, their expensive follies creating an odd impression of blight or ruin.

An essential feature of the rise of Trumpism has been the brazen inversion, that trusty maneuver in which you wield your critics' own values against them — say, borrowing the language of social justice to argue that the "oppressor" is actually oppressed or suddenly embracing progressive social causes in the service of criticizing Islam.

In "How to Date Men When You Hate Men," Blythe Roberson's hilarious new book about that classic straight woman's paradox of wanting to smooch her systemic oppressor, there's a description of a situation familiar to many of us: The author likes a guy, but she can't tell if he likes her back.

Not only does Banksy's language undermine the Palestinian struggle and reduce it to a mere "disadvantage" in comparison to Israelis, but it also encourages this false non-partisan silence when it comes to the Palestinian Question, falsely depoliticizing it and misleading his guests into assuming this pseudo-neutrality, and effectively siding with the oppressor.

If, as Mr. Lew states, the images on our currency reflect what we value as a nation, then Jackson, a slave trader and Native American oppressor, should be removed from the ubiquitous $20 bill and replaced by the freed slave and freedom fighter Harriet Tubman, the choice in our online survey that polled more than half a million people.

After years of showcased servitude, the original "Siamese twins" Chang and Eng Bunker settled down in small-town North Carolina and adopted the lives of 19th-century Southern gentry — identifying with the white oppressor class, in other words, fathering at least 21 children between them, owning slaves and sending their sons to fight for the Confederacy.

Collins ultimately took a high-handed approach to themes that she had built up with far greater complexity until that point — themes like the difficulty of resisting an oppressive system without resorting to the tactics of the oppressor, and the way the socioeconomic consequences of that resistance so often fall upon the most vulnerable members of society.

Laurie has been preparing to take on her oppressor, Michael Myers for most of her life, and it's her determined, though reluctant preparedness — her fully loaded arsenal, her secret panic room stocked with food and supplies, her yard littered with shot-up mannequins — that is indicative of a woman tired of being found unawares by violence, finally ready to bury her demon.

Thus, Dustin (James Cusati-Moyer), who insists that he isn't white but won't say what he is instead, has been forced into the role of the oppressor in his doomed partnership with Gary (Ato Blankson-Wood), who, in one of the show's rare totally serious moments, reminds Dustin that some of us are black black, undeniably so, beyond any hope of self-assertion, privatized choice, or disguise.

By placing me in the category of "oppressor," you have labeled me as a white male who wants to "keep up with the oppressed," overlooking a major point in my review: By painting each individual in a different style and color, Eisenman underscores her belief that we are more different than alike, and that terms such as male and female, straight and gay, don't reveal much about the individual to whom they are applied.
