I’m inclined to trust in the passenger who stepped in. He did so knowing full well what confronting an airline employee can lead to (really, who doesn’t these days) and apparently saw something infuriating enough to hazard it anyway. I like to think I would do the same.

They are, it’s true.

I kinda hate that I agree with your point.

Elderly Black women are masters of shade. One well-placed “ ... Mmph” is all it takes. I Big Chopped when I went natural and most of my family loved it (my mom and both grandmothers were natural and short-haired for many years - my mother has been natural since college and just cut her ‘fro shorter as she aged), but…
