Who Really Gets A Raw Deal?

Who really gets a raw deal?
Those suppressed?
By the ones taught to oppress,
Through historic teachings documented...
As evidence of superiority by their ancestors.
Or...
The ones awakening to realize,
Their whole lives have been based upon lies.
Which victim clearly is despised for having identity?
And who wins the prize,
For a hiding behind a fresh set of updated disguises.
