Well you want the cooler heads to prevail, same reason the requirements for working on a submarine include a psychological profile and test that rivals the astronaut psych eval.

The airline industry is currently in a huge weak stage, and they are aggressively competing for passengers. Factor in that the ideal passenger for Delta is the calm rational passenger being polite and clear.

I’m glad Delta did the right thing, but if I was Poe I’d have just said, “bitch, let me nap. If I wanted to listen to an asshole I’d have farted.”

If there was an OAN airline that only had one-way flights to a secret island with no internet access it would be ideal.

Maybe OAN will start an airline for her.

I wish I had more examples at the ready, but I AM starting to get the sense that corporations are realizing that there is more money to be made by being inclusive. Which is nakedly capitalist and cynical, but it’s still an indicator of the general public attitude they’re trying to cater to. And that public attitude is…

I’m kinda a Delta loyalist, but honestly, it IS easier when you’re the industry leader. You can set the rules, right or wrong. Perhaps a decent comparison is Nike, a behemoth among the sports retail universe. If they promote fair work practices (they claim to), then it becomes a de facto standard. So kudos to Delta…

You misunderstand me. I am absolutely delighted that Delta did the right thing. They could have ignored it or treated it like an isolated incident.

You’re right. wypipo constantly finding ways to make performances of themselves to seek the attention they so desperately crave.

This x100.

This story is significantly more uplifting than I expected it to be.

Damn, now Karen's gotta be flying Spirit and Frontier from now on. 

When it costs a corporation next to nothing to do the right thing, it becomes a lot easier to do so.

Hopefully the airlines are sharing the “disruptive passenger” lists with each other.

Shut up.

That’s what they always do. They hate being ignored, and Demetria saw right through that and ignored those attempts, and like clockwork the racist just had to run her mouth and wouldn’t leave her alone, because screw that, right?

This was really all I had the time or interest to engage in. I already said what I said.

4. Is your current community/culture oppressing that community/culture?

Dunno if that’s a step too far, but that’s where I’ve been making my line. Because it doesn’t matter if this hairstyle/dress/food is actually stifling their opportunities or not, if your entire community/culture is actually stifling their opportunit…

I don’t think it does anything to normalize these hair styles when worn by black people. It only provides cover for the bans against such hair styles that folks impose intending to target black folks. If they can say “oh no it wasn’t racial. See? Adele wore them.” They use that as an excuse because they’re definitely…

Wow, Kelvin, tell’em why you mad, son! Don’t be young, gifted and Black American around that dude, sheesh.
