But really, this is fucked up.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

The flight attendant must be dumb as hell. I don't believe this story because it's ridiculous.

Just a few months ago, a flight was delayed because an idiot thought a professors math equations were signs of terrorism.

 

[Permanently A]

damn that's fucking maddening

 

[norm9]

I was just thinking, if she was dressed like a slob like all the other people that dress like slobs when they go on flights, I could see how the attendant wouldn't immediately believe her. BUT, in a potentially life threatening situation, you can't do that.

And then there's this...

Another "seasoned" white male approaches the row and says he is a physician as well. She says to me "thanks for your help but he can help us, and he has his credentials". (Mind you he hasn't shown anything to her. Just showed up and fit the "description of a doctor")

It's generally standard for an airline to try and verify the credentials of a person before they let them do anything medical for another passenger, for their own liability's sake, but if she's correct in her belief that the white guy didn't show them shit, then yeah, fuck this crew.

 

[Soul Beat]

What the actual fuck?

I hope to read the follow up story.

 

[univariate]

I'm not surprised anymore. This country really sucks

 

[Ronin Ray]

Black women have it the worst in this country and it's not even close

Sweetie plz.

 

[Darth Pinche]

She says the flight attendant even said they are looking for nurses or any type of medical personelle. So they even dismissed her on that, let alone on her being a physician.

This is just so infuriating.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Can't wait until Hillary being president puts an end to sexism just like Obama's presidency put an end to racism in this country.

Yet they are the most educated in America as of right now. Shit is crazy. Smdh

Yes, and what does it have to do with this story?

 

[Dalek]

This story is insane. My jaw was open the entire time reading this...what the fuck

 

[therealist]

discrimination doesn't go away just because you bury your head in the sand and pretend it doesn't happen.

I'm challenging the validity of the story because of it's ridiculousness, I'm not pretending anything, I'm directly addressing the story. Has this story been corroborated by anyone else? This is just a Facebook post.

Racism comes in many shapes and forms, are you claiming this Black woman is lying about being discriminated against because its her posting this information? Since when do we check racism for validity?

 

[Emerson]

Are we actually reporting Facebook posts as real news? Is there any actual news source story about this that isn't simply quoting her post? Any evidence at all? A response from the airline? This reads like utter bullshit.

Don't bother. Really. Questioning a story with a racism angle will get you ripped apart on this forum. Doesn't matter if it's just a Facebook post.

 

[The Kree]

This heifer.

I can't stop laughing.

 

[GameAddict411]

So the new term of this would be doctor while black. It's getting ridiculous.

I don't much care about people's response to me. I'm totally open to discussing actual news stories, including this one if it were reported by an actual news source. Currently this reads exactly like the same kind of self-congratulatory horseshit as the conservative "marine college student embarrasses liberal professor" chain letters.

No further comment from the doctor in any of those articles that I've looked up.

I mean she really is who she says she is. Idk why she would lie and ruin her reputation as a GYN...etc

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Wow. This is bad. 'Why were you in Detroit'? Fucking seriously?

This is no kind of argument at all. Obviously she would actually be a doctor, otherwise why would she post a story like this on her Facebook for all her friends to say "what are you talking about? you're not a doctor." All sorts of people including physicians post stupid things on the internet all the time. I can think of dozens of reasons somebody might lie. On the other hand critical thinking leads me to have a very hard time believing this story as presented.

edit: meh, not worth it.

Why do you think she is lying tho?

You are already implying that racism took place here. I'm not even at that stage yet, and don't see any reason to be at that stage until there is more proof.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?

 

[Necromanti]

This. We should wait until we hear both sides of the story. It would be unprecedented that racism could explain this sort of series of events. For all we know, the flight attendant might have been black, too.

Nice!

what are Skymiles?

 

[paperboywriter]

what year is it?

 

[Zukuu]

2016. American Airline. How is that even possible?

 

[Alex Stroud]

Because believing everything you read is the hallmark of the unintelligent.

AA is having a bad week.

Maybe she was wearing a black panthers hat too.

 

[A Link to the Past]

She came and apologized to me several times and offering me skymiles. I kindly refused.

What does immediately dismissing any and all stories about racism make a person?

Does that poster have a history of doing so? I'm genuinely unaware, but on what basis do you say he or she dismisses ANY AND ALL stories about racism?

This is not even a news story. This is a Facebook post. If you think all Facebook posts merit discussion, I don't even know what to say to you.

Can't we wait till 3 pages for victim blaming?
