Hope somebody took a vertical video of the incident
Doubtful. Photography fee on Spirit Airlines is $14.95 and the camera phone use rights is another $5.50.

Some people (regardless of race) don't know when to shut the frick up and be civilized.

This exact mentality is why we cannot progress as a society. So fricking ignorant.

It's not just black people though. Maybe a higher percentage but every race has their garbage folks.
But "black men have pleasant flight, enjoy themselves responsibly and respectfully, and arrive at their destination without incident" isn't exactly a news story.
But no other group has carte Blanche to cry racism when they are called out on shitty behaviour.

Basically it all boils down to black people in general don't feel the rules apply to them and don't know how to respect authority, ESPECIALLY not a white person's authorhity. Because you know a white person in a authority position = slave driver = racist.

I'm pretty sure it isn't all of them. I know some pretty cool, rule-following black folks. The problem is, the ones who choose not to do it in spectacular fashion and make the news by crying racism. It gives them all a bad name. Decent white people loudly condemn trashy white people's actions. Black folks tend to circle the wagons a bit more aggressively.

What the frick is this garbage?
I love that the worst of the worst some how get to represent the whole population of blacks according to this board.
The media only pimps stories out like this because it will get every riled up.
I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of blacks probably report to a white person in authority in some shape, form, or manner. The world seems to get along just fine to me from where I am sitting.

Disagree. I guarantee you any decent black person would condemn bad behavior just as quickly as any white person would. The thing is that doesn't play to the media's narrative, so of course they interview the grandma or the ignorant friend.

7 racist blacks are thrown off plane because they didn't want a white person telling them what to do.

Spirit will lose 8-10 customers at least.
8-10 inclusive or exclusive of the ones already removed. I only ask because 8-10 total is a big deal, but 15-17 would be a colossal story.

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.
Yeah, you can't be a loud elephant trunk in an airport and think you'll get away with it.

So much ignorance in this comment. Fact is the majority of black people are law abiding and respectful. And people wonder why there is still racism.

If a white person causes a problem in society the OT will group them in the following categories
white trash
trash
trailer trash
mentally ill
these people are never grouped in with the "normal" or general population
But with with if a black person causes a problem that person is a reflection of the entire black population.

Actually most of these stories involve non-black people. Mostly white people. The fact that you only notice race when it's black people is called "confirmation bias".

Most of the stories don't blame "racism" though.

100% true. I've commented on that too.

I would hope so. But I have seen the opposite far too often. I still remember the black church-going ladies at work crowing and high fiving when they acquitted OJ.
