6 Passengers Kicked Off Plane At LAX Accused Of Being Unruly Claim Discrimination
CBS Los Angeles ^ | 11/02/2015 | Staff

LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (CBSLA.com) – Six passengers kicked off a Spirit Airlines plane at Los Angeles International Airport Monday night accused a flight attendant of discrimination.

The travelers said they were singled out and booted off the aircraft because they are black.

“I’m really humiliated just for the simple fact that you hear about this type of stuff happening in America, discrimination issues and stuff like that, but to actually experience it first-hand,” said passenger Alexandria Wright.

Witnesses told CBS2/KCAL9’s Tom Wait the passengers were removed from Flight 868 after a white flight attendant accused a member in the group of being a threat.

It started with confusion over a seat, which the travelers claimed was double-booked. Then police came and escorted the three couples, all black, off the plane.

“It was more than just us having the conversation. Why is that six black people got kicked off the plane?” Wright asked.(snip)

After arriving at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, witnesses on the flight told reporters the banned passengers were being disruptive.

White folks just don’t understand the black culture, you see?
It’s all whiteys fault! If they would have just let them fight it out, then toss the loser to the tarmac, it would have been A-OK!

About 2 simple questions.... 1) how many other black people have flown on that airline and with that flight attendant in the past year who were not kicked off the plane. 2) How many black people have been kicked off planes by that flight attendant.

Comments at the site don’t seem to be very, well, let’s just say they don’t see it the way the ejected passengers are trying to portray it.

It no longer matters what any of us think. And the truth itself is completely irrelevant. Instead, we have Identity Politics All the Time. The only thing that would keep them from winning a hefty cash award is the possibility that the flight attendant who ejected them was a transsexual.

Why weren’t we told where these people were from? They acted as tho’ all they knew is what they’d HEARD about discrimination in America...apparently if they were Americans they had never EXPERIENCED discrimination and here I thought we treated all blacks badly.

Don’t dare try to hold them to the same standards you would expect of a middle-aged white male.

They cannot possibly live up to those standards. Never have, never will.

Just expect of them what you would expect of any impulse-driven spoiled child ... the least common denominator. That they can handle.

I was flying a trans-con out of San Francisco a few years ago. A black woman came up to me and loudly announced that I was in her seat and loudly demanded I get up immediately. I figured she mis-read her boarding pass so I waited for a flight attendant to show up. By the time she did the black gal was totally irate and threatening.

I showed my boarding pass to to the FA and she said, “Oh yes, come with me.”The black gal smirked because she figured she got her way. I followed the FA to a wonderful seat in first class. It was one of those fancy seats that made into a flat bed and had a tv screen. Then there was champagne if I wanted it and a very good dinner. It pays to stay calm and polite.

To hear liberals tell it, The South INVENTED racism, bigotry and prejudice. There were none of these in the north of the Mason-Dixon Line.................

"Irish racism in Victorian Britain and 19th century United States included the stereotyping of the Irish as alcoholics, and implications that they monopolised certain (usually low-paying) job markets.[citation needed] They were often called "white Negroes." Throughout Britain and the US, newspaper illustrations and hand drawings depicted a prehistoric "ape-like image" of Irish faces to bolster evolutionary racist claims that the Irish people were an "inferior race" as compared to Anglo-Saxons"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Irish_sentiment

Polacks, Kikes, Spics, Dagos, Rednecks, Crackers are all ethnic epithets that are far more prevalent in the North than the South.

It can never be any other reason except that they’re picked on for being black. NEVER.

Nothing racist about not wanting your children tossed into a crappy, majority-black gladiator academy.

True, but it just goes to show that with liberals, they love blacks unless they have to deal with them directly.

There are 3 black guys that I play golf with pretty much every Sunday. I like golf, they like golf. I like gambling on golf. They like gambling on golf.

We generally have about 20 in our group. Bets flying around everywhere. When it comes time to settle up you can’t hear yourself think with all the hooting, hollering, grabassing etc. coming from the black guys.

Got a group up to play at the local Country Club a couple of weeks ago. 3 blacks came as my guests. 1 of them paid for him and the other two. Wrote a bad check.......Nearly 150 bucks. The Club looked to me to pay it. I did get my money back, but still...

It’s their culture. Always has been. Always will be.

I have observed, after working in a manufacturing plant for many years, that one on one the majority will act civil. Even 2 together will be fine. 3 or more and it’s like feeding time at the zoo.
