Black ex-Vogue editor says she self-downgraded from first class on flight to Milan after realizing premium cabin was filled with white men
daily mail ^

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.

Hahahaha...hopefully some white guy will have a flight attendant approach him:

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Sir, we had an opening in the Premium Cabin, and we would like to upgrade you at no charge.

WHITE GUY: WOOHOO!! But...wait, I thought the flight was full?

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: It is full. We had a woman who didn’t want to sit there because it was filled with white men, and we need to free up a seat back here to accommodate her.

WHITE GUY: Really? Wow. Okay, let’s go. I didn’t want to sit in between this 300 lb. woman and this guy with B.O. who is cutting his toenails anyway! Wait-these people on either side of me are both white...you think the black woman will mind?

FLIGHT ATTENDANT: No. She requested it and didn’t specify. I will give her what she requested.

Did the flight attendant say or do anything to justify this judgment or was it just her prejudice that made her think this.

Pouty Karefa has the single attribute that gets oppressed Black females
into these high-paid jobs-----------her inherent ability for self-humiliation.

Rosa Parks’ ghost is giving you the side-eye, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, former Vogue editor, for taking a back seat when you paid to sit up front.

Hahahahaha! I just looked at her picture, and she would fit nice and snugly in between the 300 lb. white transsexual and the hobo with body odor cutting his toenails!

She missed a chance to have nice discussions white people. Too bad for her, she and they might have learned useful things.

Micro aggression ?

Major lunatic. The other occupants probably didn’t notice. Too busy minding their own business.

She wanted to tell this ‘story’. No way she gave up a first class seat. Not to go sit with the white people in roach coach

No sale

Just another professional victim with her sensitivity meter pegged at 11 at all times.

Been around my share. The type that can perceive a totally innocent good morning greeting as a racist comment.

It’s her bucket of water, nobody has to carry it.

She pulled a reverse Rosa Parks and sent herself to the back of the plane?

Did she check to see if the pilot was a White and they had separate but equal restrooms?

I’ll bet the “middle-aged white guys” and the male flight attendant all breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief.


Most black guys would do the same.
