On one hand, some people do over react to minor slights. On the other hand, some people are actually bigots. There is right and wrong on both sides, and immediately villifying one half of the debate is not productive.

Oh by the way. It's unsubstantiated but I read an account by a passenger on the flight who claims she was using foul language loudly in front of all and that her removal was met with cheers. I hope some amateur news smartphone video of the event surfaces.

In case anyone is interested, the unsubstantiated eyewitness report I referenced was on Heavy. They seem to be pretty unbiased although I don't know anything about them.

AA responded to the media re: this situation. AA said they looked into past complaints, and found a pattern of racist behavior towards Black customers on AA. They are taking it seriously and are talking face to face with the woman involved in this article, as well as the NAACP.
I believe humans are naturally racist. In today's modern world, it is a BIG problem. If nothing is done, then our innate racism gets worse and causes problems. I think the only way to fix our racism problem is to face it and try and mitigate it as much as practical.
Freight? Sometimes PAX flights have serious problems, and sometimes freight flights have serious problems. I would say that freight IS better, if you want to limit you contact with other humans.
