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.

no problem, dock it’s pay...
Does the bridge of her nose suggest anything?
What a steaming pile.
Why would we need data when “everybody” knows it’s true?
She looks like she could travel by broom.
Nope
Latoya is a feminine given name. Other variations of Latoya include Letoya. It is widely believed to be a variation of Toya, a Spanish nickname for Victoria.
Not safe?
Doesn’t that woman know the front end of an airplane crashes first?
Prefaced with "La" in a feeble attempt to sound sophisticated.
What about the black women in her entourage that accompanied her on this taxpayer funded luxury vacation? Stuffed in dangerous economy?
The bigger question is, why does the Mayor of New Orleans, or ANY Mayor for that matter need to go to Switzerland?
What city business is there? I’ll wait.
AMEN!! Still waiting!!
As we all understand, if a plane crashes, children and minorities WILL BE hardest hit. (Though I don’t see how being in first class makes a difference.)
"Apparently, some of you don't understand that government officials are your betters and are entitled to spend your tax dollars for our benefit because we know how to better spend the money than you lowly taxpayers. I probably deserve additional compensation for having to respond to you uppity taxpayers."
Someone should ask the mayor this:
"Surely, some other black female employees of New Orleans must have flown on business travel. Were you also concerned about their safety and made sure they had first-class tickets or does that concern for safety only extend to yourself?"
I would also like to see the mayor explain exactly what kind of danger there is in the coach section of an airliner.
Well, that’s what New Orleans votes for...
Mayor of New Orleans, or ANY Mayor for that matter need to go to Switzerland?
On my flights there’s plenty of black women in economy.
Either they’re very stoic, or my headphones are blocking out their screaming…

or economy flights are not safe when there’s a black woman like her on them
