Oh this was a surprise.
It was just a question of time before someone played the Race card.
No business that wants to survive anywhere discriminates based on race. That is just bad for business.

It had NOTHING to do with her race, but she knows that.

Yes, it's the color of her skin that causes the plane to tilt to one side.
Next time they should make her fly as cargo. On a 747, just to be safe.

So she's fat because she's black?
To: billorites
“Southwest just asked me to get off the plane either because I’m too fat or too black or just a woman,”
That would be the first option. Eat less cake.

oh hell, why not call it racial bias just to humor the hate of the NAACP. Why not let blacks call it racial dicrimination whenever a black is at a end of a line at McDonalds. Maybe if we humor them they will shut up.

hmmmmmmmm, ive been flying for a long time on many different carriers and i see blacks all the time on those planes. i think i see women on the planes too. occasionally, i think i see black women. it is a horrendous experience to sit next to a big one for a flight. fat is like smoking, it needs to govt regulated for their own good. last line is sarcasm.

Someone once referred to that condition as "ghetto butt."

An African-American woman claims Southwest Airlines unfairly subjected her to its policy requiring large passengers to buy two seats because of her race, a lawyer said yesterday at the start of her federal trial against the airline. Unfairly?
Unless she has gone on a crash diet, she either a blimpo --- or she's not.
This should be a short trial.
To: Coop
Southwest does NOT fly B747s, only B737-500's, -300's & -700s.
But as for cargo, well, they'd probably have to contract a C-5 Galaxy. (I'm so mean!)

are you saying the butt alone probably weighed two hundred pounds?
To: billorites
I am so sick and tired of "race". Of whining Blacks. I wish they would just shut the hell up already, and live their lives like everyobody else. It's not easy for anybody. But whites can't run around claiming racism if we're fat as a house and don't want to be reminded of it. This woman is a disgrace as an American.
To: billorites
...saying the company doesn’t uniformly enforce its policy requiring obese passengers to buy two seats.Unless she or her attorney were observing the check-in counter for months, how would she know that?
