The first administrative agency was created by Congress in 1789 to provide pensions for wounded Revolutionary War soldiers. Also in the late 1700s, agencies were created to determine the amount of duties charged on imported goods, but it was not until 1887 that the first permanent administrative agency was created.
Internalized oppression (also called âself-hateâ) is when a member of an oppressed group believes and acts out the stereotypes created about their group. In addition to race, gender, and class, internalized oppression to how we see ourselves as activist (waiting to get a âreal jobâ for example).
First of all, not all systematic or institutional oppression is driven by race. It can be wealth based, gender based, religion based, even clothing or hairstyle based, etc. and, yes, race based. Not all systematic oppression is racist. At the same time not all racism is systematic or institutional oppression either.
