Heard this on the radio this morning. Is there a list of active boycotts? It's got to be very long at this point.



Soon, the only place blacks will be able to go is Popeyes and Red Lobster.

Spirit is exactly that though isn't it? It's like the Walmart of the skies.

While it is only one day, try flying out of New Orleans on business the day after Essence Festival.

Those flight attendants, the ones that I saw, were pushed to the limit with the amount of requests from the passengers on that plane that day.

Another incident involved an African-American woman who was switched to the corch section at the ticket counter despite having previously booked first-class tickets for herself and a traveling companion.

I don't know why people even fly spirit unless you're poor. I like to check a bag, have a drink, etc and I can do that with Southwest if I'm trying to save money. Spirit just sounds like a nightmare to me. I can barely take the open seating on Southwest.




Have you ever flown with Spirt? It really is a horrible experience. I did it 1 time in college (so no money) and didn't know about them - never again.

No and I will not. Once you factor in things I would pay for like seat assignment, checked bag, etc the price is no different from a real airline and if I'm buying a ticket, I'm not going with a shitty experience.

I fly American or Southwest because they are both based in DFW and have cheap flights everywhere.

I love the "You don't want us so we'll boycott you" boycotts.

Dr. Artis Cash once called for a "hip hop boycott" of the Boardwalk in Bossier City after the Boardwalk posted policies prohibiting sagging pants and other hip hop attire.
