Is racist.

@ElisaraEdwards
So this happened... @CameronNewton offered a man $1500 cash for extra leg room on a 10hr flight and the man said “No??”

Tariq Nasheed ????
?
@tariqnasheed
Cam Newton offered a white man $1500 to exchange seats with him and the man turned him down. And many people are confused as to why he didn’t take the money. He didn’t take the offer because this was an insult to his WHITENESS.

1. Ppl felt a way in the comments of this tweet I made earlier. They said I was reaching..So lets do an analysis of the general anti-Black animosity that comes with the airline. People in the dominant society have always had an intrinsic anxiety about traveling with Black people LINK

It was a stupid offer. Go up to someone at WalMart and offer them $1500 for their shopping cart. A lot of them will walk away because it’s stupid.

Yep, there are crazy retarded people out there. Your post proves this point.

Edit:

Dang fellas, I was talking about the TWEETS in the OP, not JBird...

13,000+ posts and you people don't know where I stand... I'm sad.

Perhaps he just did not feel like being cramped up for 10 hours and 1500 was not a lot of money. Simplest explanation IMO.

Why didnt Cam just purchase the extra legroom seat knowing he was going on a 10hr flight?

This is more proof that in 2019, it isn't good enough to just not be racist.

You have to be brilliant enough to anticipate what complete morons might CALL racist.

I would love to know if Cam would have taken the money if the roles were reversed. I’m guessing NO.

ETA: racism is now based on whether or not a black person gets their way, regardless of the circumstances?

Tariq Nasheed is literal scum of the earth and one of the dumbest human beings on the planet.

I would of accepted the $1,500 and thanked Newton for giving it to me.

As for the “racist white man” what do you expect? I’m surprised you’re surprised OP. It’s 2019 america man.

I'd have told Cam if it was worth $1500, it would be worth $5000. Fork over $5k and it's yours. Otherwise, enjoy your cramped seat by the screaming baby next to the bathroom

Sounds like a bunch of racist POS are crying about nothing.

If he does not want to give up his seat he shouldn’t. Being 6’3” I would not give up my seat for $1500 for a 10 hour flight. No way.
