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.

I think that’s a good observation!
I’ll take things that never happened for $1000, Alex.
She wants all white people dead.
There is no way to put earrings on that pig.
sounds like a win win.
I have the same problem when I walk into a popular bar, the women just look at as if they only want my Precious Bodily Fluids………
So you deny them your essence?
What an ego!! Wow...
“Good observation”
Just watching for the negative reactions to the hockey
Hatred abhors love and natural law.
Well if she wanted the cabin to include black women then she should have stayed. She is actually responsible for for it being filled with only white men. Why? Because she is obviously racist.
You suffer a fools existence with every breath you take Karefa.
“Black ex-Vogue editor says she self-downgraded from first class on flight to Milan after realizing premium cabin was filled with white men”
And the white men thank you and appreciate your caring gesture very much!
better yet Wheel Well
She probably didn’t have a first class seat at all
Should have been in a crate in cargo.
Gee I sure miss the good ‘ol days before Obama when black people didn’t openly hate white people.
Leave it to the DM to find all the cranks American mainstream media won’t touch.
She’s fat, ugly and a racist. She belongs in the back.
She is insane. There are no functional brain cells left to protect.
If she didn't have such a huge racial chip on her shoulder, I'd wager any of the other first class passengers would have enjoyed talking with her.
Besides, the 787 DreamLiner transatlantic first-class cabins give you a semi-private, partially isolated cubicle environment that is separated some distance from the other passengers.
But, being a black Karen, the airline intentionally pulled the DreamLiner from that flight and substituted a much older, worn-out aircraft with the old-fashioned first class cabin that crams you together.
LOL...great dialog! If they ever make a movie out of this incident, you’re hired!
Don’t know about that- steerage has to have enough room in it to allow transit of the steering gear, and full rudder enabled.
Too much hippoprotoplasm for below decks.
