I had the misfortune of stumbling on a handful of reddit threads about this, and they were filled with thousands of users and tens of thousands of comments all upset about this casting. I’m sure there’s some people just trolling to get a bigger rise out of people, but it’s way more than “like 6 bot accounts”.

I used to fly a LOT, and I’ve seen far, far worse, particularly on white passengers, and nope, no drama. There’s nothing wrong with that outfit, especially given where she was flying from (Jamaica) and her intended destination. Personally speaking, I probably wouldn’t wear it on a plane but that’s because I’ve got…

I've seen overbuilt gym rats wearing mesh tank tops with gigantic arm holes on planes. Essentially shirtless. They were white (orange, actually), and I assume weren't required to put on a real shirt before flying.

Also: “So out of anger comes this movie that is joyful; that word pops up a lot.” 

This: “And not just about police brutality but anything that was on our minds really,” says Graham to The Root.
If I had a dime for every artist who said they were just lead to CREATE something out of that pain, I would be a rich woman. A lot of people just felt they had to do SOMETHING, and if you are a filmmaker, you…

I wished airlines policed people with no shoes on the same way they dealt with this lady.

I agree. I saw an older skinny white man in a mini-kilt with no underwear waiting in the gate area for his plane. He was flashing people by they way he sat and spread his legs. When he was reported to the gate agents, they just told us to sit somewhere else. After a few more complaints from others, they finally asked…

No bare feet, no stinky food, no perfume that’s trailing clouds of stank as you walk by...

White lady here. I can attest that when I was in my 20s and 30s I wore outfits on planes that were identical to this woman’s outfit. No one batted an eye. And I often got upgraded to business class solely b/c I was young and pretty. I’m sure the male gate agents thought they were doing the businessmen seated next to…

Was literally on a flight from Puerto Rico to Maryland and watched 2 white women get on the plane with swimsuits on and see-through cover-ups. And when I say see-through I really mean why bother with the attempt at coverage at all since we could see their whole address. What airline did we fly? American. When was…

LOL, you guys! Listen, in some quarters the place was known as pedo island for a reason. When some high level folks visited the USVI and they’re on Epstein’s Little St. James Island, it’s easy to connect the dots. The place is a little removed but locals (mostly from stt) upkeep & maintain the place..locals see shit,…

Perfectly fine, perfectly true (their hemorrhaging of jobs just today notwithstanding).

Of course they did! They didn’t dream of reading, let alone entering a college classroom, head held high, verbally besting all the Master’s sons and daughters! They may not have had debt but they probably couldn’t conceive of walking into either of your workplaces with air conditioning and a boss who doesn't slap you…

I hate having to say this but...

Just, fundamentally, it’s hard to imagine a situation where anyone who’s not really wealthy owns either a home or even an apartment in one of those major metropolitan areas. Even if you could undo every ounce of gentrification with a flick of a magic wand, actual ownership is a different beast entirely. There’s still…

Just for the record, all police and fire, in uniform, receive free drinks from starbucks.

Those guys were just taking up space and drinking free coffee. My wife worked at one for 5 years, all drinks for in uniform Police and Fire are free.

I have a bunch of questions for her because there’s a bunch of addendums in there that would make the bill not even work for whole swathes of Black people.

1) They probably didntpay for the slushies. Cops love to shoplift.

Personally, I’m not comfortable around a lot of police at all. So personally if Starbucks is looking out for their customers, they should keep the murderers and state sanctioned criminals out.
