“An African-American woman and her infant child were removed from a flight from Atlanta to New York City when the woman (incidentally a Harvard Law School student) asked that her stroller be retrieved from checked baggage before she would disembark.”

Here’s a clue for Mikhale. The standard universal response of civilized human beings when presented with an opportunity to help a mother with an infant is to help the mother and infant. An airline that fails or appears to fail to make a reasonable effort to accomodate a mother and infant has a serious customer service problem and can be guaranteed to generate seriously bad optics for themselves. . Was the woman in question cranky, rude, or obnoxious? It doesn’t matter. Short of her being a certifiable a threat to the airplane, there was no discernable reason for removing her. Moreover, anyone who strands a woman in an airport with an infant in tow is a low life shit. Similarly, anyone who belittles the NAACP for pointing this out is, IMO, a low life shit. Mikhale.

In reply to SteveP. I didn't 'belittle the concept of having awareness of racial prejudice'. NAACP did when they produced 4 cases over 'several months'.

MikeN appears to act as if he is doing the bidding of his Russian/Racist/AltRight masters. The NAACP cited examples of behavior that are troubling. MikeN, however, belittles the whole concept of having awareness of racial prejudice by his comment, as if genocidal treatment of native peoples or racial enslavement never happened, as if daily life for people of color in a prejudiced land is not more difficult than poor unempathetic MikyN could ever handle if he were in their position. MikeN belittles, through his sarcasm, the concept that there might be such a thing as a standard of civility or decency for our modern age. Instead, he reverts to the school yard bullying behavior of a sociopathic, sadistic lout.

The emotional repetoire of a lout does not encompass empathy, sympathy, care, concern, or other emotions that are critical to healthy human interaction. The lout belittles such emotions, possibly because their primitive, deficient, damaged mind is incapable of feeling them, and possibly because they are terrified of those emotions.

So why don’t we have a discussion about empathy, sympathy, and compassion MikeN. How do you feel about those emotions?

NAACP found instances of once per month where American Airlines has mistreated black folks.
The horror!

In reply to SteveP. Actually, the Russian trolls were eager in the last election to push Black Lives Matter and to support Standing Rock.

In reply to SteveP.

I reckon you could be pretty close to reality there with them ideas. Nice one.
Id like to see some stats with error bars and whatnot to validate or invalidate stuff.
It could well be a corporate culture of under training staff,
rather than a corporate culture of racism. Dunno, if theres no stats presented . Got any Greg? If ya dont, would it be
reasonable not to draw conclusions without data? I think so….

I just see many agendas ascribed to individuals, corporations, and governments that, if true, then the ascribed person, corporation, or government is absolutely
pathetic at carrying out whatever the agenda is.
If one was to subcontract whatever the agenda might be,
one would never give the subcontract to such entities.
How bloody useless is this airline at oppression.
Like they aint even trying.
Providing millions of people ya dont like the miracle of modern jet travel, dirt cheap, and really, really safe, is not
an efficient thing to do as far as the dont like dept. is concerned.
Head of dont like dept. ” By god, we have had millions and millions of opportunities to carry out our agenda last
financial year and this is the best we can do??? “

LiD-I suppose that what you are saying is that the national racist Murkan culture is simply permeating Murkan Airlines? If so, I would tend to agree. Is Murkan Airlines deficient in striving to create a passenger-employee interaction culture of inclusion? Maybe. Is Murkan deficient in training personnel in how to deal with common passenger stress reactions? Possibly. Is the current Murkan political structure setting up a divisive, them and us mentality that thrives on white victim disease? You betcha!

After some reflection….
It strikes me that IF this company dosnt like people with a certain skin tone and wishes them to feel oppressed, its extraordinaliy bad and inefficent at that goal.
With the resources available to this company, they should easily be able to make people feel waay more oppressed.
If its the case that there is a policy of oppression, i wouldnt hire them to carry a pet from one city to another, so useless do they seem at carrying out such a policy.
So maybe something else is going on eh? Cuz aviation aint usually the field of useless idiots.

Oh. Dear. Poor MikeN…. or should we call you ?????N?
Whatever. Poor ?????N has white victim disease. Symptoms include inability to have empathy for other human beings with skin tone different from his own and amnesia about atrocities committed by people of his own skin color.

Russia does not want Americans to unify as a multicultural, multi-ethnic nation because to do so gives the US incredible diplomatic, political, and psychological strength in the world, strength that Russia can only dream of. Funny how MikeN or should we say ?????N also doesn’t seem to want any sort of unity among Americans of different colors. Nor does Trump. So they deride attempts to fight racist behavior, they deride attempts to draw attention to uncivil and unfair behavior. Just as if they were Russian trolls.
