MAN CLAIMS UNITED AIRLINES OFFERED WOMAN $1,000 VOUCHER TO PUT HER FEET DOWN: 'THE AUDACITY OF WHITE PRIVILEGE'

A black man traveling on a United Airlines plane has claimed that a flight attendant agreed to give a white woman sitting next to him a $1,000 voucher for taking her feet off the tray table, while not offering him similar courtesy.

After his complaint went viral on Twitter, he called the company's response "tone deaf".

In a statement to Newsweek, United disputed the story, saying: "At no point was any customer offered compensation for this issue."

“The audacity of white privilege,” Frederick Joseph, who started the ‘Black Panther Challenge’ fundraising initiative, wrote in a series of tweets on Tuesday March 13.

While on a flight from Austin, Texas, to Newark, New Jersey, Joseph said, a woman sitting next to him took off her shoes and placed her feet on the tray table. He shared a picture appearing to show a person’s foot on an airline table.

Joseph said that airline staff did not say anything despite walking past numerous times.

“I’m irate,” Frederick wrote, “because no black person would ever get away with this s--t.”

When it seemed like the staff would not take any action, Joseph said he decided to speak to the woman beside him. According to Joseph, he said “Ma’am, I’m trying to eat, and your feet are next to my food.”

“What do you want me to do?" the woman replied, according to Joseph. "The seats are small.”

“I understand, which is why there is room for your feet and legs under the seat in front of you,” Joseph said he replied.

“This is why I fly first class, and I don’t come back here with everyone else,” the woman then allegedly said back. When Joseph then asked her if

Yeah, right. What was she, a dwarf yogi with a booster seat?


I am forced to fly due to work sometimes. I've seen it happen before - people putting their smelly feet up from behind you on your armrest, on top of your seat's head-rest - I wouldn't be surprised at all if a smaller woman did put her feet up on the tray table. Trash comes in all colors, shapes and sizes.

I’ve worked for United. There no way in hell they would offer a passenger any kind of incentive to remove their feet from an unusual place. The FA would tell the passenger to move it and if not heeded they would possibly be placed on the internal UA NO FLY list going forward. If the FA considered it a safety issue then a possible criminal charge would filed and the passenger would be met at the gate on arrival.

Can it be proved? If so, then shame on United. They really are a despicable airline.

Black people since Obama do get away with this sht.

It is called the formalized Sharpton shake down program

He obviously is projecting

Meanwhile I do not feel sorry for corporations who pandered and profited from this poisonous race politics so as to divide labor and even enslave it

If airlines keep supporting the NFL terrorist privilege rhetoric, they will reap more 911 terrorists, but this time full fledged pilots

Black Privilege trumped white privilege when the black man was encouraged to keep his feet on the tray and his fly unzipped by his seat mate who offered him her $1000. voucher, according to 2 young women in the seat behind them.

Is she a contortionist? Is he sure it wasn’t a bet to see if she COULD put her feet up on the tray table in her seat?

Good breakdown of the twisted non-logic of these race pimps.That’s why rational discourse is impossible. Socrates and Plato did not come from Africa.
