A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she called the air hostess. "What's the problem, ma?" the hostess asked her "Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't seat here next to him. You have to change my seat" - "Please, calm down, ma" - said the hostess "Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any." The hostess left and returned some minutes later. "Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class. But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class." And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued "Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class. However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person." And turning to the black man, the hostess said: "Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..." And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

Yep. I have seen it float around for a while, too. Just like that bogus decade-old "Angry WW in Virgina letter", or whatever it is called, that keeps getting regurgitated as if it's brand new...it wasn't even written by a WW, it was written specifically as a conduit for the "reply" letter.
It's actually an advertisement that I saw promoting equality. I could find the video, but it's on the social networking website I'm part of.
I've been on more than a fare share of flights...and I have no first-hand knowledge of such an incident, I do believe that it is more than likely that a similar racist incident has occurred in the past.
That is all good. Homeboy has gone to the First Class section all because Ms.Sheethead does not want to sit next to her. Loved that story Kid. If it is not true then I wished someone You Tubed the real thing.
even if this story is fiction, u cant tell me similar shit hasnt happened before best post ive seen from u in a minute...think i may need to rep u
