Racism!

True story. If you are against racism

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg
and London. A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a
black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.

"Madam, what is the matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not
see it then?" she responded.

"You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to
someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat." "Be
calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this
flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available."

The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam,
just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy
class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also a
seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in
the first class."

Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not
usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit
in the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain
feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone
so disgusting."

She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would
like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first
class."

At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had
just witnessed stood up and applauded.

I fly for United and we always accomodate the non-complaining passenger. I can't tell you how many times people have went off because they were set next to some black, supersize or because there was a seat dupe.

What we do is check to see if we have extra seats in first or business and enough meals, then we upgrade the passenger who remained polite and calm.

Wannabee also applies to those who think there all that, and aren't

Sadly she probably just hated black people even more after that. Subconsciously she may have felt bad, but she consciously got rid of that bad feeling by hating even more.... That's why it is so predominant in some societies. We simply refuse to take responsibility for our own actions and injustices.....

Yeah, you're right. She probably do hate black people even now. Its a real shame if she does. I just don't understand why people have to be so prejudice against one another(especially whites vs. blacks). Isn't this world already screwed up enough?!

It was funny dude. Don't over analyse it though. That just takes away from the joke and it kind of makes it depressing.

I had a good laugh first, believe me. But since it's a true story, I am required by some galactic force to overanalyze it.
