You guyd didnt even read the story did you. You guys always side with companies in these matters, and never acknowledge what
might have happened. Suppose there was a white woman just as big that didnt get told she had to buy two seats.
Oh quit playing the race card and encouraging this crap. I've watched airline (which films southwest airlines) and I've seen on one episode a white lady being told she has to buy 2 seats.
I'm not playing any race card. That doesn't matter what you've seen. It matters that they present the documentation to the consumer BEFORE she purchases her ticket. It's very simple... all they need is a disclaimer. This woman was pulled aside and embarressed. Wouldn't you be angry? She should have had this information before hand because it could have played a large part in the selection of airlines, perhaps buying the extra ticket before hand. That's an embarrassing situation, and the fact is that SW airlines DID NOT provide the necessary information beforehand. Therefore they ARE LIABLE.
I'm sure the lady got pissed off and like in any situation when there's an angry uncooperating passengers the police are called in to help calm the situation.
Oh, now I think you're the one playing the race card. Large black woman has to get mad and uncooperative in that situation.
She was coaxed off the plane by being told she'd recieve a refund. Instead she's met by 2 police officers and SW employees. Wouldn't you be mad?
There's plenty of racism towards whites and other races as well that comes right back but you don't hear any of those people playing the race card.
Never said there wasn't. But facts are facts, and racism happends to black people much more then whites. I suppose you've never been frisked and searched in front of a crowd of strangers while doing holiday shopping because the store manager accused u of shop lifting... I have several such stories. If you can provide me an example of a sitation that you've been discriminated against, I'd like to hear it. Until you can, fvck off.
