Spirit Airlines is being accused of discrimination after the crew on a flight Monday (Nov. 1) from Los Angeles to Dallas-Fort Worth International removed seven African-American passengers, the New York Daily News reported.
An African-American couple was kicked off the plane in Lose Angeles, based on a white flight attendant's accusation that a man was "being disruptive when he refused to get up from this seat," according to the report.
Five other African-American passengers "were asked to leave after allegedly questioning the flight crew's motives" for kicking off the couple, the report says.

Should have flipped them out of their seats.

Why is it racist?
I mean, this isn't the first time we've experienced unruly groups of a certain ilk ruining other's experience and being removed.
It isn't magically "racist" because they are black. Maybe they are just assholes.

They could have threatened to blow up the plane and people would still cry racism if they were thrown off.

Spirit probably had an "Early Flight Termination" surcharge for them, Lawd knows they charge for everything else.

Wow I am so shocked that blacks people did this

I would rather drive than fly on Spirit. No amount of savings is worth the horror stories that airline has been a part of since it started operating.

black passengers on a Spirit flight?
I don't believe it

If blacks become unruly whites should have to tolerate it. That's what whites get for hundreds of years of mistreatment

I bet both parties discussed this incident in a calm and quiet voice, with a lot of reasoning involved.

Despite all the fun the OT will have with this, nothing will come of it. The FAA has granted flight crews wide latitude to control the aircraft and who is on it, they aren't going to fool with that. Even for this group.

Segregation may make everyone happier. Black folk airlines where no one listens, white folk airlines so the hippie mom can take her two kids with no discipline cross country.

Why do approximately 100% of these stories involve the black person refusing to comply with a lawful request or order? Same with the girl in the SC school deal. Or the single cig seller in NYC. Or the Gentle Giant. Etc, etc, ad infinitum.
