You know what’s really fun? Making up nonsense words to use in an argument.

Call someone a “jabbering jungaloo” or a “Spitting persnicket” and they have no clue how to react

I can say without a single bit of doubt that no black woman in the history of black women would ever respond to being called a "shining monkey" by "crying" and feeling "humiliated"

100% of them will pull out a blade and cut you for simply calling them Ma'am.

I'm going to say the bullshite meter is off the charts with this one.

I wondered what transpired before asking for a “refund code”. If she was asking for a refund, something wasn’t going well.

Hmmm, now this is interesting. Is one minority group pressing charges against another minority group? This is unprecedented! I thought only whites could hurl racially charged words.

And people really call the cops when they’re insulted? It takes forever to get law enforcement to respond to a car break-in. You know...an actual criminal act that took place, not some heated argument about a non-existent “refund code”.

Nah, I'm being honest. Just so happens that she's not being that either.

This was my thought. I suspect that she didn't simply shuffle in and acks for this secret code. I wonder why she felt she was entitled to it.

Cacilie Hughes, a black woman and United Airlines customer, told The New York Times she approached a United employee at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport in February to ask if a “refund code” was available.


Regardless of the rest of the BS, this doesn’t help stereotypes

I love how they just completely jump from beginning to end. So she asks the employee a question. And they immediately responded in calling her a monkey. I don't know if anything happened or not. But when you say things like this it just ruins your credibility in my mind.

You sure she wasn’t asking if she wanted a Golden Monkey beer?

The Houston Airport cops put a charge on a United Airlines employee. That lends some credibility to the story.

Well to be fair, if you want this thing to really blow up, ignore this kind of racially-charged claimed by a minority.
