(1,989 posts)Never in a million years would I walk up to SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR and ask them to do anything with THEIR OWN RADIO.
I might sit there and think....what a jerk. Kids are so inconsiderate. This is it in a nutshell. That was Zimmerman, also. He had all the rights...Trayvon Martin had none.
I get annoyed with loud music. There have been time when I've seen people walk by and not known who they were...but, I realize I share a world with OTHER PEOPLE. I honestly do not believe I have the right to run down people I don't know and ask them what they're doing in my neighborhood.
I really don't think I have the right to walk up to a stranger's car and demand anything.
I hear people saying on DU that they walk into places and demand that channels be changed. It's just not in me. I sit there and tolerate the nonessential decisions made by others and simply recognize that I live in a shared place where opinions differ. Then when I go to my own house, I watch what I want to watch.
Help me. Are these examples of privilege?
PS. Did I mention I don't heckle, either?
