Is it you all's reality after flying for multiple years, some even decades, that only black people act indignant and beligerant to the extent that they must be thrown off planes? If not, why buy into this crap? I just found it offensive and disappointing that the person I quoted took that particular attitude.
As of late it seems that black people are portrayed as victims in the media regardless if they are or not more than in a negative light in this situations.
Just look at the random killing of the woman in the bart station in oakland, the guy that killed her was some strung out drug addict and habitual felon who for no other reason decided he wanted to kill and happened to pick her as a target. Yet the media presents it as an attack on black america by a typical trump supporting white man and there is zero indication of that, in fact the evidence we've seen shows us he's just a random criminal.
