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!
I hope you realize he was talking to her condescendingly because he was avoiding the obvious next step of kicking her off the flight.

You stated you'd have a problem with a CA talking to your wife like that, would you have had a problem with him if he didn't go back there at all and just kicked her off from the flight deck.

No one here is acknowledging the stress of him careing that she be allowed to continue. Everyone here is just saying stay up front and eject her at the first sign of trouble.
