You will never convince someone who does not want to be convinced regardless of you insisting and knowing for an absolute personal fact that we have these types of issues in this country.
Based in this video, he was extremely condescending and I may talk to a child like that, but certainly not an adult. To be fair, he probably would have spoken like that to anyone, Black or White. It was condescending and if she was triggered to believe that race was involved the dynamic of White man in power vs. Black female and the historical context of that should be considered. Had someone spoken to my wife or daughter like that we would have a problem (granted we don't know what transpired and my family knows how to act in public).
And a little more context, I'm Black and a Captain for a major airline...save your time and energy...Fox news is STRONG in the cockpit of most airliners!
Thanks for the constructive feedback. While many of us are pretty tired of some issues getting hyper-inflated and politicized (with an overt statement or implication that it's somehow my fault or I owe someone), most normal folks do understand there are issues and are willing to hear about it and discuss it. I personally don't want anyone to feel out of place in our society just because of their heritage or race.
