That’s pretty much the kind of person you have to be to qualify for a security clearance.
The suit should also target individual personnel, not just the airline. I’m fucking sick of assholes getting off because they’re working for an asshole company.
the reasonable thing to do for any person of color who wants to fly or just be generally left alone and unbothered is to don a klan hood. Racism is the new patriotism and nothing says Murica better than the klan. Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s I saw some of America’s ugliness. In the late 60’s I thought there was a window open for us to grow into our best. I wish I had not lived long enough to see it get worse but it has. Fat stupid people suckin’ on the corporate owned media tit have come to believe the gospel of the rich. We are a people divided and afraid, afraid especially to think for ourselves
as a native texan whose ancestors moved here before it became a state, i too have posted about my experiences. tragically, i have met all too many people with views like the ones described by ethicalcannibal.
My comment was intended as a plea to the world at large, rather than particularly to/about you… not leastly because I really do see the plethora of things that need to change about Texas before I’ll think of it as enlightened. I’m humbled that you took the time to thoughtfully respond.
Sure, people are always looking for attribution. It’s easy to see a sea of red in the South and as a result dismiss the entire place as corrupt. Yes, there’s corruption, but there’s corruption in the North, too.
That said, why do these stereotypes around racism just keep coming up in the same locations, over and over?
LOL, SouthWest cop out: it wasn’t the employees, it was the “passengers” who refused to allow six Muslims on the flight." Apparently the passengers are now in charge of boarding.
"Safety is our primary focus, and our Employees are trained to make decisions to ensure that safety, and to safeguard the security of our Crews and Customers on every flight,
FTFY:
"…our Employees are trained to safeguard the bigoted racism of our Crews and Customers on every flight
Fear is the sure fire way to control and manipulate people. Add anger and people will VOTE to protect and punish; it also increases the potential for violence. This has worked for tyrants, the aristocracy, the war industry and politicians (etc) for millenia.
