@GuyWithOpinions That’s the definition of privilege there, that certainty of being listened to by those in power. 🤔

I’m used to people who see the world as you do. I just wish things were actually that cut and dried for everyone. 🙁

@bijouxbroussard its not privilege its understanding. You need to appeal to the people your talking to. In a democracy atleast, if you have a problem with something at a government level you have to appeal to a politician. Or someone among thier ranks.

To be recognized by them you have to have a credential they acknowledge. Take a political science course or something so they will atleast talk to you. Get a petition signed by like minded people to show you have power behind your statments. That way you might get a hearing before a council of them. Then have a well written speech typed out and wear formal clothing like they do to prove you have a point made with intellect.

Standing in traffic with a flag just pisses people off and does nothing to change the issue.

@GuyWithOpinions It is privilege, because unfortunately it is still fact that some people are listened to and others are not, even now.

And while some things had improved, we appear to be going backwards—starting with the fact that kids are not being taught about the history of how constructive protest has long been a legal tool used to affect change in our country.

@BlueGreenGrey I think you’ve explained this so much better than I can when I try. I have the same reaction when asked, "do you judge other people ?" In some instances, I’m absolutely certain I do, and I’ll bet a lot of those quick to claim that they don’t, do judge in many situations.

@JackDaniels i second this

@LaurenRae I wont argue with them, just wont listen.
