TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
A man's Facebook post about a run-in with another passenger at an airport is going viral.
Emmit Walker, a black man, said he was waiting in the first class boarding line at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia when a woman told him "you may be in the wrong place, you need to let us through. This line is for priority boarding."
Walker said he told the woman, who is white, he knew exactly where he was and had the boarding pass to back it up.
"(She) still wouldn't let it go," Walker wrote.
He said the lady said "he must be military or something, but we paid for our seats so he still should have to wait."
Walker's final part of the exchange is what has people talking.
"Nope, too big to ever be in anybody's military," he wrote. "I’m just a n**** with money."
Walker said everyone else waiting in line clapped for his response.
In only eight hours, his post was shared more than 70,000 times and had 144,000 reactions.

Obviously, a case of mistaken identity. But either way, that's no way to treat an employee of an airliner. Employees generally get to board first so they can prepare to serve the customers.

If he had real money, he’d get that thing taken off of his face.

Where did you get this from? He said he was just a n***a with money, not a flight attendant. He was a first class passenger dude.

I thought racism only existed in the south.

Some people are just ignorant, closed-minded assholes.

First class seats are like $600 if flying domestic. Or just a $50-100 upgrade at check in. You don't need to be loaded.

Wtf does this even mean? I swear every couple of years we get some word or phrase that mainstream media latches on to and uses continuously. A few years ago it was "swagger" now it's "clap back" and "savage."

By his own admission, the "victim" was the only one that brought up the color of a person's skin.

Virginia is the south.

Sounds like another phony story that twists the facts around to promote racism. This did not happen the way it was written. I’m 100% certain.

Wow you were there?
I was skeptical too when I saw this yesterday, but to say it with 100% certainty is absurd

If you want to take issue, call WAFB and complain. No one forced you to click on this thread or any thread. If it "triggers" you, go somewhere else. Pretty simple.
No one made this about race. Except the "victim."
