The N.A.A.C.P. on Tuesday warned African-Americans to exercise caution when traveling on American Airlines, citing a pattern of “disrespectful” and “discriminatory” behavior from the company.
The organization’s warning came in the form of a travel advisory that described four recent times when black passengers were said to have been discriminated against. The N.A.A.C.P. said the similarity of the episodes suggested “a corporate culture of racial insensitivity and possible racial bias.”

Note to self: Fly American Airlines!
Actually they’re a pretty terrible company. Everyone gets treated like cattle. Guess some cattle think equal terrible treatment of all = racism.
That’s OK. I don’t like flying with a bunch of white liberals anyway.
(Most black people I know have enough sense to ignore the NAALCP)
Sounds like American Airlines didn’t make a big enough contribution to suit the NAACP.
Attempting to use racial blackmail, to possibly get AmAir to do something like make “donations” to the Leftist SPLC.
maybe the Airlines should train their staff to speak Jive’..
Buy their stock! People will clearly refuse to fly any other airline now.
Same here. Now I know there’s a bigger chance it will be a quiet trip ;)
Shakedown.
If true, I'm guess that Tamika did far more than simply "question" this.
Booker T. nailed it.
Now to keep kids under 12 and ‘service animals’ off the planes.
Instead of a blind guy, it’s a crazy old lady who got her cousin the chiropractor a letter saying she needs a service dog for her anxiety.
Damn... i had no idea. THANK YOU for posting that!
“Note to self: Fly American Airlines!”
I could not agree more.
Oh my, an airline that doesn’t have dindunuffins on it.... perhaps only if they are allowed to sit in the back of the plane?
NAACP, you are crazy, stupid, and just making race relations worse. 95% of blacks believe this crap. My heart goes out to the 5% that don’t, as they are the true victims.
“Instead of a blind guy, it’s a crazy old lady who got her cousin the chiropractor a letter saying she needs a service dog for her anxiety.”

You don’t even need a cousin-——the service dog application process is simple——virtually anyone could do it——over the phone.
It’s a boondoggle.

I remember when the NAACP (National Association of Always Complaining People) boycotted South Carolina. They thought that they would have a major negative impact as black families cancelled reunions throughout SC, but the opposite happened, they enjoyed a big increase in tourism. Watch, American Airlines will actually have an increase, as people now realize that it removes a loud and obnoxious traveling element.
The first thing that came to mind reading ‘we don’t get no respect’ is gangs. Of the three incidents cited by BBC News, it appears the conflicts were caused by mouthy “I’m special’ people with a ‘tude, who were belittling the flightcrew and have no clue what ‘want respect, show respect’ means. What all this means is, while the NAACP uses this manufactured publicity to extort money from AA, we can now take advantage of the boycott window to book AA to enjoy a nice, drama-free flight for a change.

So many ways but too many more lessons on civility.
