How am I seeing so many oppressed demographics in US airports?

I am told that certain groups can’t get a fair shake in America because of our system and politics.
And yet I go to US airports and see more of those individuals than ever before. And most of them are obviously not affluent. And I am confident in saying their personal finances are trash.
If they are oppressed, and not that well off, how can they afford to fly?

Their meaning of oppressed means something different to real oppression. My wife (no pics) is Cuban and she laughs every time she hears that shite.
Oppressed people don’t fly, don’t have iPhones, don’t drink Starbucks, etc.

Truth it’s very apparent on that direct flight from Nola to Baltimore.

Apparently there's a new trend where every Indian who flies demands a wheelchair.

I just priced a round trip ticket to Orlando from Bham in February. $1000 for two tickets plus baggage fees. Airfares are ridiculous now.
We are driving. After doing the math and factoring in driving an hour to the airport, then the time needed to check in and board, deboard, then wait on luggage to get unloaded, there's not much difference in the travel time. Plus I don't take the chance of having to sit next to some behemoth with poor hygiene.

So how are the people below you economically affording to do it? Where is the money coming from?

The grift stops when you say you are no longer oppressed.

Been wondering the same. The amount of trashy people is impressive. They seem to be everywhere and can afford to do everything they want.

Yep, they've apparently discovered that you get to jump to the front of the line and get priority boarding if you're disabled, at no charge. Then they magically are able to walk when it comes time to de-plane.
God performs lots of miracles mid-flight
Eventually they are going to have to either charge for the service or require legitimate medical documentation, since they have to ruin it for everyone else.

I fly a lot for work and always wonder the same thing. I fly mainly Delta and use my status to get comfort+ or first. And I know Delta is usually the highest priced, but that’s who the company prefers. It never fails on every flight I’m looking at the folks boarding and wonder how the hell they afford the ticket prices. I usually don’t fly personal unless I use the miles I’ve built through work as it’s less expensive to drive.

I remember the first time I ever flew on an airplane. I was taking a trip with my grandparents, and they made me wear a coat and tie.
My grandparents would NOT have been impressed with this group.

Stop flying the yellow airline.

The same reason you see them with the latest iPhone, latest Air Jordans, latest everything. We're feeding and housing them which gives them disposable dollars.

Most of the ghetto women you see at airports had tickets paid for by some simp in another city.

Flying is pretty cheap. Most expensive flight I've booked in last year was $750 rt nola to Dublin.
I usually can get rt to europe for around that.
I got eyes on a $820 rt to Tokyo.
My most constant flight is the $200 direct to Cancun.

Amazing what money becomes available of you dont put anything into health insurance, 401k, Mortgage...
Any of those things that build wealth or avoid debt.
