That’s also her version of it. I’d be interested to hear what the passengers around her had to say.

If you refuse to put your bag under your seat, you aren’t going to stay on the plane. There’s no need to be intentionally obtuse going through life. I’m a black male that travels a lot for work, and i’ve never been kicked off a plane. Follow the damn rules.

Just curious as to why, if you had the same problem before, would you do the exact same thing?

You know what? Give me a fucking break. What I said had nothing to do with race except in your mind. She herself said she had a tense exchange with the flight attendant and that she wouldn’t put her bag under the seat. Passengers must follow instructions from the flight crew.

I also believe that if your first response is to take a selfie of your outfit and post it to social media, rather than remove your hat in frustration, you’re probably 1) looking for attention, and 2) likely to escalate what’s an already lame situation.

Just to clarify, “I wonder if that’s the whole story” =/= racist apologist.

That update makes it sound like she got kicked off for more than the hat. Sounds like she was maybe acting aggressively toward the flight attendant, which is a big no-no.

Bracing myself for the internet outrage but perhaps the pilot got word from an uncomfortable flight attendant after checking in an Amanda Stevens and being presented with an almost 6 foot tall dark skinned person with five’o’clock shadow, hairy arms, an upsidedown American flag shirt with an anarchy logo on the arms…

Going to Syria with your kids falls into questionable and perhaps negligent. Kids don’t need to save the world just yet they need to grow up and get to do kid things. My growing up wasn’t first aid in the gulf war or habitat for humanity in Bosnia. I can’t blame this being questioned. If he had issues with…

Um, not like Syria is going through a war or anything...

lol right? Of all the things you can be upset at Brad about, I don’t think that this is one of them.

This is my take of Brad’s perspective as well. I am all for children learning about the world but I am skeptical of taking them to places to active war zones. People are trying to flee Syria, if Angelina wants to work with the UN, IMO she should do so alone.

You’re trolling right? You’re not seriously describing sending children to a warzone to “enhancing their worldview?”

No, it’s more like don’t take my children into an active war zone.

Gotta say, if my wife was taking my kids into an active warzone, I’d probably be drinking and arguing too.

Not wanting your kids in a war zone is a legit complaint.

Yep. I mean I support enhancing children’s world view and all, but if the person I co-parent with has some concerns about where i am taking the kids, I would listen to them...

You can “enhance” a child’s worldview without putting them in the middle of an active war zone.

Or he might just have had a very reasonable concern about sending his children to an extremely dangerous country.

I’m all for expanding a kid’s worldview, but Syria is a literal active war zone. If i were in Pitt’s situation, I’d voice some very definite concerns about putting my children in harm’s way as well. We’re not talking about falling off a bike, nobody disputes that people are getting killed regularly and with great…
