Definitely wouldn't be a shock if it had everything to do with how he dressed and not his skin color. A black or white guy in a coat and jeans gets not a second glance, but put either one in sweats in the priority line, and you'll turn some heads.

Yep, the fact that they felt the need to emphasize this tells you all you need to know about the story teller.

This reeks of bullshite, and the fact that an alleged one-on-one incident at an airport gate is such huge news shows the lack of actual racism in America.


1. What makes this story so unbelievable?
2. Because something goes viral does not mean racism does not exist in America.

Why do people like yourself go out of your way to deny racism? How would you know what racist interactions a person goes through unless you yourself are a part of that group. I cannot speak on sexism against women because I am not a woman. I can not speak on homophobia because I am not a homosexual.

, I get what you're saying, but this would be a confusing story if you didn't know the race of the man or the woman. It's relevant given what the social media post implies.

No way this occurred in Tucson. They aren’t racist out there.

Agreed.

Unless your assertion is that if he was a clean shaven and well groomed black man in a suit reading Times Magazine she would've still said hey you isn't belong here.

I'm sure it was 99% his appearance and maybe 1% his race.

No it wouldn't.

Well dressed stuck up moron tells sloppy dressed douchebag he doesn't belong in first class.

You're confused about that?

Once again, I never said that.

I said this “The story probably happened like this.“



And what you typed was word for word what he said except you added in your commentary saying he misinterpreted what she was saying.

White people love when a black person says the word n****a in public. Why you think Denzel won that oscar for training day?



They probably thought he was Patrice Oneal

Because the worst you ever see are stories that are either fabricated or turned into a race issue. If racism was a real issue in America, why are all of the racist vandalism and other similar stories routinely outed as hoaxes? Why do we routinely get shitty people interacting with shitty people turned into race clashes? If racism was a true issue, you'd see legitimate, blatant acts of racism covered by the media 24/7. They love that shite. All they can get are fake and exaggerated non-racial incidents, though. A one-sided, questionable story from a random airport gate made national news. That says just how good things are in America for minorities if that's what they consider to be a big story.

If there's anything white people in America love, it's when people drop racial slurs in public. We just eat that shite up like fricking mayonnaise.

Assuming you work at Tuscon News Now and you're going to stoop to the level required to even put this story on your site, how would you describe this viral post without discussing race?



The entire story, as portrayed by Walker, is about race. If you're going to retell it, it would be helpful to know it was a black man who finished the discussion saying he's a "n**** with money", no?
