Whether race played a part is debatable. What the government needs to do is end the practice of overbooking, you should only be able to sell the ticket for a seat Once.
Or get the government out and let the free market weed out the weak.
Well she did pay for first class. And according to the white person who broke the story they ignored her when she was raising the concerns. You're tired of the whining...the irony in that statement.
So if a white person says racism occurred it's taken as Gospel?
Yes, I'm tired of the whining. This alleged incident wasn't the end of the world and raising a ruckus about every perceived minor slight results in deaf ears......
You're only mad that she brought up race though. Even if race wasn't involved its still crappy business. Do you think what happened was wrong? Or are you more concerned with shutting down a racial discussion?
I didn't know we were allowed to have one. Remember the kid vs teacher over the N word. Your side thinks it sets the parameters for all racial debates.

Racism was explicitly claimed as the reason for the incident.
I'm not mad. I don't know these people. I'm stating an opinion that the circumstance in the case could have happened to anyone. We get slighted at times and making mountains out of molehills and claiming racism for every assumed slight is unreasonable.
We dont, but based on how she was treated, it looks like it was. And to be clear, all of this is from the perspective of the white friend, not the black women.
If it was I hope she sues the crap out of them. We have laws for a reason. The airlines are under the microscope right now. I hope they learn and change their policies.
If it's proven it was race based then that attendant should be fired. Bye Bye.

Wow - SJW much?
Why don't we just admit that the horrible Nazi/KKK flight attendant walked just looking for a black person to kick out of First Class. Would that make you happy?

But you were more concerned her saying that it was racial. That's all I'm getting at. It could be, and probably was racial. And you were tired of "the whining"...why not be tired of a society treating people like this? Because people are not going to just sit there and be quiet so you can carry on in peace.
Anyways, these airlines need to have some tighter regulations. They are obviously just bursting at the seams with bad practices all around.
