Oppression

 In "Kindred," Octavia E. Butler tells that slavers' experience are full of terror and pain. As a example, Sarah the cook, apparently looked strong, but unfortunately she was humiliated. She was  a lonely black woman in a household. She had to confront the rest of her life with people who sold her three lovely children and she had to remember everyday that she lost her part of her life forever. She couldn't make any claim for fair to loose her unique lovely daughter left, Carrie.  So, she had to be a good slave with her white masters. Instead of masters thank her for  her service, they paid back with pain, punishments, and hard work.

I also find that Dana was involved in a moral trap in the sexual exploitation, which she had to convince Alice to go to bed with Rufus. Unfortunately, Dana couldn't reject Rufus order because Alice could be hurt twice. She could have been beat, and also rape by Rufus. So, white always did wherever they want, it didn't matter how many people could be hurt. Masters were unemotional, isolated, pathetic, and alien. Despite the severe stresses under which slaves live, the slaves constitute a rich human society.

Unfortunately, in every country in the world, there is  oppression for any group that does not fit in with the majority, or it has caused to be look down on by our own race.   In some places, if you appearance is good people treat you with courtesy and the people are very friendly. If you are not just the opposite occurs.  I think we can teach our children to not be prejudiced based on a person’s skin color.  It hurts to know that it comes from previous generation is being slowly poisoned.
