I believe the diaspora wars come from our powerlessness from white people violating us 24/7 around the globe. Scared to fight the enemy, so vent by shucking & jiving and insulting other Black people.

I said this after literally just getting off a nightmare of a flight too.

Motherfukkers running to flights, wearing flip flops with the thongs or jesus slippers, dropping deuces on/before flights, coughing, not a SINGLE mask in sight, etc.

And the way people move through an airport is disgusting too… nikkas literally act like crabs in a barrel or be in a rat race. I was standing in a line then realized none of these nikkas was in my zone, they was just huddling in front of the door so they can run onto the plane first.

Literally walked by them like :scust:

fukk people… and I guarantee the dude who said it was zesty like most male stewardess. How you a booty warrior but complain about a smell:scust::gucci::dame:



Edit: And I stood there and watched them as motherfukkers watched this old lady (who waited to go last for their convenience), struggle with her luggage. I actually helped her put her stuff in the bin. It didn't even cross my mind, I just asked her as I saw her struggling. Fukk people foreal

Airplanes use recycled air. So they didn’t want black people breathing up all the white peoples air.

If it was me, I would’ve caused a scene. nikkas wouldn’t have been an hour late, the flight would’ve been canceled :mjpls:

Three passengers are suing American Airlines after alleging employees from the company removed a total of eight Black men from a flight due to a complaint about a passenger with body odor.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, claims that as American Airlines Flight 832 from Phoenix to New York was boarding in January, American Airlines employees removed eight Black men from the plane allegedly over a complaint about "offensive body odor."

Video central to the lawsuit displayed a group of Black men who were not traveling together and did not know each other being removed from the flight. According to the suit, they were the only Black passengers on the flight.


Emmanuel Jean Joseph, Alvin Jackson and Xavier Veal — the three plaintiffs— were on a connecting flight from Los Angeles. The three allege that at no point throughout the other flight did any employee from American Airlines say anything to them about an offensive odor.

Jean Joseph told CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave that as he gathered his belongings and walked to the jet bridge, he noticed that only Black men were being removed from the flight.

"I started freaking out," Xavier Veal said. He decided to record the incident on his phone.

The lawsuit claims that the men were held in the jetway for about an hour and then moved to the gate area where they were told they would be rebooked on another flight to New York later that day. The lawsuit alleges that an American Airlines employee indicated that the complaint about body odor came from a "white male flight attendant."

A gate agent seen in the video at one point seemed to agree that race was a factor in the decision to remove the men from the flight.

When another flight to New York could not be found, the men were put back on the same plane. Jackson described the experience as uncomfortable, saying, "Everybody staring at me, me and all the other Black people on the plane were just taken off."

"I knew that as soon as I got on that plane, a sea of White faces were going to be looking at me and blaming me for their late flight of an hour," said Jean Joseph.

The lawyer representing the three men, Sue Huhta, said that American Airlines declined to provide her clients any answers about the incident and said it seems "fairly apparent that race was part of this dynamic."

"It's almost inconceivable to come up with an explanation for that other than the color of their skin, particularly since they didn't know each other and weren't sitting near each other," said Huhta.

The lawsuit also cites other recent incidents where passengers have alleged discrimination by American Airlines and references a 2017 NAACP travel advisory urging members not to fly on the airline, which was lifted eight months later.

CBS Legal Analyst Rikki Klieman said the lawsuit suggests that the plaintiffs might be more interested in making a public statement about racial discrimination than in financial compensation. Klieman believes the question at trial is about American Airlines' protocols and how it handled the employees after the incident.

But Veal said it is his belief that if it had been a White person, the situation probably wouldn't have happened.

"We were discriminated against. The entire situation was racist," he said.

In a statement to CBS News, American Airlines said, "We take all claims of discrimination very seriously and want our customers to have a positive experience when they choose to fly with us. Our teams are currently investigating the matter, as the claims do not reflect our core values or our purpose of caring for people."

If they really smelled bad, they would’ve been singled out before boarding and asked to freshen up.

If they really smelled bad, they wouldn’t have let them back on the plane without freshening up.

I've legit seen Indians catching connecting flights after flying over the pacific get stopped and told to wash up and change cloths. But that was before boarding. If they really stank, somebody wouldn't said something before they even started boarding. It's no different than airline employees looking for people who are intoxicated. They probably would've gotten away with it if it was one or even 2. But they singled out every non white person on the plane.
