Racism.

Supposedly a true story, but I doubt it

Quote:
A scene also took place on a BA flight between
Johannesburg and London. A white woman, about 50
years old, was seated next to a black man.

Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air
Hostess. "Madam, what is the matter," the hostess
asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she
responded.

"You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree
to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group.
Give me an alternative seat."

"Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all
the places on this flight are taken. I will go to
see if another place is available."

The Hostess went away and then came back a few
minutes later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are
no other available seats in the economy class.

I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there
is one seat in the business class.

All the same, we also have one seat in the first
class. Before the woman could say anything, the
hostess continued: "It is unusual for our company to
permit someone from the economy class to sit in the
first class.

However, given the circumstances, the captain feels
that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next
to someone so disgusting"

She then turned to the black guy, and said,
"Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please
collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in
first class."

At that moment, the other passengers who were
shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and
applauded.

This is a true story.

Re: Racism.

good story, even if its not true, it should be

I've never figured out how to be gracefully humble without appearing weak.

Nor have I figured out how to be gracefully passionate without appearing arrogant.

In the end, I always seem to be arrogant and weak instead of humbly passionate.
