Question

What does Mandela mean to say that the oppressor and the oppressed alike are robbed

of their humanity?​

Answer 1

$\sf \bold Chapter-Nelson \: Mandela: Long\\ \sf ⠀⠀⠀Walk \:To\: Freedom$

$\sf Writer-Nelson \: Rolihlahla \: Mandela$

According to Nelson Mandela , an oppressor is a prisoner of hatred who is locked behind the bars of prejustice and narrow mindedness and an oppressed is robbed of humanity as he spends the best part of his life in the prison where he is not independent to do anything without being ordered. Infact, nobody can be free if he takes away someone's freedom. An oppressor can console his mind and heart to believe that he has not done anything wrong but the reality is that one who takes away someone's freedom can never be free. So he says that both the oppressor and the oppressed are robbed of their humanity.
