The following scene 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 also no seat
in the business class. All the same, we still have one
place in the first class."
Before the woman could say anything, the hostess
continued: "It is not usual 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 anyone 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.

Ha Ha! That woman deserves to be embarresed! I hope she was just flabbergasted! She needs to get a life and start living in the 21st century. If I was that man I would have cussed that ***** out! How rude and racist can someone possibly be? I hope she learned her lesson. As a white person, I have friends of all colors and treat them equally and respectfully. Hopefully, the world will better soon. Old moron, that woman is, thinking she was too good to sit next to a black man!

Whether or not it is a TRUE story (and I'd CERTAINLY like to believe it was true EXCEPT for the unmistakeable GAUL of that woman)...... this is something that EVERY SINGLE RACIST PIGLET IN THIS COUNTRY should read and LEARN from!!!! Nice to see for once that just MAYBE this woman was NOT an American..... (since the plane was going from Johannesburg, South Africa to London, England.)....
A personal message to the person above named Callstrat---you TOTALLY misinterpreted the story---the pilot was calling the WOMAN disgusting not the nice black man... Geez do you have ANY idea about READING COMPREHENSION!???????

Great story ! ! !
No I don't think she learned her lesson. Racists never do. The most she would ever learn is to not say things out loud - her racism would still be in her heart.
I am not saying that people cannot change, but I truly believe that the change is more gradual than an instant epiphany. Racism is caused by fear and ignorance - it take a lot to get over those things.

I hope that lady will learn that what comes round... goes round. And also, what she did was wrong! But the guy got first class and so he got spoiled. I hope she did learn..

LOL
I hope that is true. But to answer your question, I doubt it. Anyone who would be so dense to make a scene like that will probably never learn.

Yeah, sure it is. Yeah, a pilot would really use the word "disgusting," in public, to describe a balck man especially via a stewardess and expose his airline to international media and millions in lawsuits one Jesse and Al got a hold of it. By speading such tripe, you devalue true episodes of racism.
