White man who refused to sell Cam Newton his airplane seat for $1500 accused of racism

There’s a viral video making its way around Twitter this weekend that shows NFL star QB Can Newtown offering a man $1500 for his seat that has more legroom with the unidentified man turning down the generous offer. Have a watch:

But then Twitchy regular Tariq Nasheed entered the debate and accused the man of not taking the money because it “was and insult to his WHITENESS”:

He later doubled-down on the racism charges in an 11-tweet thread, which we won’t bother you with in its entirety. Click below if you want to see all the lunacy:

Or, and we’re just spitballing here, that guy valued his legroom?

Unless he was wearing a “cotton” shirt. Oh noes!!!!!

That hadn't dawned on me, that cotton clothing is racist because some blacks were forced pick it 160 years ago.

I’m surprised that guy managed to last as long as he has, here. Reviewing his posts, looks like his previous stop was Stormfront.

I’m wondering how long before the guy is doxxed.

He may have had health problems and needed the legroom or just didn’t think $1500 was enough to be cramped for 10 hours

Point is he planned ahead and PAID for the seat. So, to these critics, refusing blacks anything is in and of itself racist.

...NOT if the 1st Class seat cost $1500 more than steerage and my employer paid for it and would expect the money back. (It’s been some years since I was a super-premium mileage flyer, but unless something has changed, airlines screw their best customers, the last minute business traveler, the worst on pricing. It’s a bizarre business model.)

Nobody should be put in the position of defending their decisions regarding their personal commerce.

Just because some so-called elite didn't plan ahead doesn't mean that he's still entitled to the best seat on the plane at some lesser peon's expense.

At it also doesn't mean that the serf is required to give up his seat because a so-called better wanted it.

What's next, Cam Newton walks to the head of the sandwich line at the airport because he's Cam Newton and doesn't think he has to wait at the end of the line to be served? Would all the other people rushing to catch a flight be racist for not letting Cam Newton cut the line to get his sandwich first?

I posted the first couple of paragraphs.

Some editor on this site added everything else, including what you’re complaining about. Wasn’t me. I prefer to send people to the sites because that’s how we content creators make our living.

Claws, you need a post editor.

There’s advertisement in that OP than there is useable story.

So what?

It's my ticket.

I'm not selling it to anyone.

If that's racis-OK, have a nice day.

Racism according to the Left is a person of color being accused of something negative that they have actually done or of being denied something they want. Facts and truth have zero importance.

Hi.

Sometimes you gotta be somewhere and a relatively small amount (The deal is worth a million), offered for my seat would be denied with a smile.

Even if the person were a green lesbian who identified as Karl Rove.

He did rather leave that impression. I expect that at his next Bund meeting, he'll be wailing and moaning about how those filthy deleted expletives at FR were oppressing him ...

Once you realize that the word “racist” MEANS “white person,” everything begins to make sense.
