A hyperwoke former Vogue editor proudly announced that she self-downgraded from first class on a flight to Milan to avoid a cabin filled with white men.
Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, 34, made the declaration on her Threads profile Tuesday evening.
The Brooklyn-based journalist wrote: 'I just downgraded myself from first class to business class on my flight to Milan.
'In a cabin of six, five of the passengers were white middle-aged men... then there was me, a 30-something black woman who travels in that cabin often, and a male flight attendant who thought I'd be okay with substandard service and persistent micro-aggression from the moment I sat down.
'He was... wrong,' Karefa-Johnson continued. 'I don't suffer fools, and I would sacrifice physical comfort to protect my emotional and mental well-being any day.'
Karefa-Johnson did not detail the microaggressions she claimed to have suffered.
The progressive activist's pronouncement about 'sacrificing physical comfort' was likely overblown, given that the business class cabin she moved to would also offer flat-bed seats and copious amenities.
Karefa-Johnson, who quit Vogue in 2023 after posting an anti-Israel rant in the wake of the October 7 massacre, quickly attracted gushing praise for her downgrade.
During her tenure as contributing editor-at-large of the fashion outlet, she got into a public feud with Kanye West after the rapper launched 'White Lives Matter' apparel in 2022.

She can’t even get her big toe into those shoes.
She’s a rank opportunist.
Maybe he was Jewish, or Israeli.
Fair is fair.
If I got on a plane with 5 of 6 seats occupied with her types and a fat black stewardess - I’d head for 3rd class
If she had had a shred of an actual complaint, she would have told us all about it.
That’s pretty racist.
Racist woman
As the professionals say...sometimes...the stories just write themselves!
Micro aggressions
= = =
I draw the line at microscopic aggressions!
That is absolutely racist. Why is no one calling them out on this? It is happening more and more frequently.
Racism is racism, and racism is evil.
Dare I say she went to the back of the Airbus?

What a stinking racist.
But her self-segregating.
If they forced her to do it, all hell would have broken loose.
The men likely could not have cared less.
Or maybe they were happy that they didn’t have to listen to her entitled whining and victim mentality.
She were disrespected and finna call her mom wit her Obamaphone, dough
She needed two seats in economy.
WIDE LOAD!! Junk much wider than normal trunk, might say!
Ha. You’re onto something.
Notice William Shatner was wearing a suit like the Transportation Secretary Duffy said. To “dress up a little bit” and “dress with respect”.
That’s what I was thinking. They were glad she was gone.
good... just get in the back and STFU...
