The Democrat mayor of New Orleans, Louisiana, said this week economy flights are not safe for black women.

In addition, LaToya Cantrell has said she would not repay money spent on a first-class trip from Washington Dulles Airport to Switzerland over the summer, Meaww reported Sunday.

“My travel accommodations are a matter of safety, not of luxury,” she claimed during a press conference on Thursday:

As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are left to navigate alone. As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be. Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn’t understand the world black women walk in.

Officials were reportedly trying to determine if the mayor must repay almost $30,000 in taxpayer monies for the trips to France and Switzerland.

You beat me to it.
Surely such a distinguished figure merits her own charter.

How Orwellian, when the exact OPPOSITE is usually true.

Don’t you know that Black women are privileged. It is racist for them not to fly first class.

I’d recommend she only fly with black pilots, also.

She would have gone through a TSA security checkpoint, like her fellow travelers.

Once she has, she would be in the safest environment most black women ever get.

It must only be “safe” for a black woman to travel on Air Force 1 with an escort of fighter jets.

That’s got to be the weirdest (and most disgusting) playing of the race card and the gender card, ever. So I suppose Biden will honor Cantrell with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, or something similar.

That’s just how America rolls these days.

Anybody who steps foot in New Orleans can’t be very worried about safety.

Is there any data on black women being unsafe in economy flights?
