While we don't know what the pax did there is zero reason in a customer service business to humiliate a customer in front of all those other passengers. Total bad call going back there. If that truly is Delta procedure I would expect it to change sooner or later.

And yes of course this is race baiting, that will never go away unless the NAACP is against it. It just delegitimizes their agenda, IMO. I think it's no joke that racial bias exists (mostly for blacks) but making everything about race when many times it's not is the same as crying wolf. Eventually people roll their eyes and dismiss legitimate concerns.

Making the final decision doesn’t involve going to the back and talking to anyone.

You go there if you want, by ass is not going anywhere near any conflicts.

What?? How did anything I said make me a black apologist? I don’t even know what that means. If you actually read what I said you will see that most of what I said was in agreement that the behavior of a lot of the people in these stories is redicilous and I do not support the claims of racism. Or that’s what I thought I wa saying. I don’t remember at this point. But in any event, all I’m trying to say is that regardless of the stories that are repeatedly on the news highlighting these racism claims when black people have these encounters people with sense should be able to decipher between that garbage and the reality of what happens everyday on flights across the country which is that the vast majority of the time blacks people aren’t acting any more belligerent than anyone else but it is these incidents that make the news because of the racism component which is intended to have the clear effect it is having on people like you. I just think you should not let yourself get as ****ed as you are about it. I also don’t think your post changing the title of the thread was necessary since the article clearly showed that it was some other person making the claim, Tamars Sister, not even her or the articles author! But whatever. The last thing I want or need is to have an argument online with an anonymous person whom I will never meet. I just hope that your animous toward blacks based on you being so “sick of us” doesn’t carry out into your treatment of us in public when you’re flying and interacting with the public.
