Gotta say...I side with Murdock but it has nothing to do with race. The flight attendant is simply an @$$hole and should be fired for causing such a scene with a customer.
The way I understand the situation, a white female FA gave the seat to a white woman instead of a black man. At no point did she interject race. Maybe she is a Hillary Clinton supporting man hater (yes, I am reaching but merely pointing out something that is overlooked). Of course, that wouldn’t hold up in court as well as being a supposed racist. Society is weird especially in the victimization world.
