Racial discrimination at US Airways?
DENVER, CO – Remember the glamour of flying? Those days are obviously long gone. But that’s not stopping US Airways, though it’s landing them in the hot seat. A pair of African American brothers, McCraig and Miles Warren, claim they were asked to change clothes before moving on up to first class on a Denver-to-Phoenix flight in August of last year. But the brothers say the airline didn`t ask a white guy and a Filipino guy dressed similarly to do the same. (newsfixnow.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I believe you are right on about this being a BS case and basically a Jesse Jackson type shakedown. Descrimination as a whole will never end. There are lots of types of it, not just race. I sure cant play golf at the same clubs where Tiger plays. That's kinda what clubs are all about, choosing whom you associate with. I believe you are from Chicago. The neighborhood taverns there ( I'm an old Chicago boy) don't cotton much to a redneck from Ky, if he isn't with a local. Lol. Some types of discrimination have largely been knocked down. But remember, you can legislate how one is to act, but not how one feels. We all discriminate in some way. BTW, look at our politicians. They have given themselves privilege that nobody else has.
I'm so old I remember when men dress in coat and ties and women wore hose and heels to fly. Now, the airlines are nothing but intercity buses with wings. Far too many people at airports look as if they just got out of bed and skipped the shower.
Amen to that, and John, don't beat yourself up on the old age. It really wasn't that far back.LOL
They did! :-(

Safer too if you wear a helmet and fire suit. Lol
While discrimination still exists between any classification of human beings it should be fought hard until all differences between people "just doesn't matter."
This is not one of those cases. Shame on the two brothers attempting to shakedown the airline using the pretext of race. They slap Dr. King and Ms Parks in the face for their contributions to end institutional racism.
