That's the basis for the "white privilege" claim. The guy was so full of whiteness that he could dismiss such an offer whereas a minority, who is of course a broke dick, would jump at that offer.

But, it's not racist to automatically presume that the minority would be poor enough to give up the seat for the $1500.

Why isn't he already in a partial ownership program like NetJets or Wheels Up?

This is honestly, true. That said, it does sort of cause one to ask the question.

Why in the frick is Tariq Nasheed given ANY credibility such that he finds his way on to news networks?

That he does is just one of those little pieces of evidence that there are a lot of people who claim otherwise who really WANT racial division in the nation.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who know who he is and who take him seriously, so your anecdotal evidence is irrelevant

It is kinda sad, but while I wouldn't call him a household name, it does get treated as credible a lot more often than he should be which is to say.........never.

Maybe the guy bought the seat in the first place because he wanted “more leg room”. Maybe the guy was not desperate for money.

Why didn’t Cam buy a first class ticket or the ticket he wanted on the first place.

Maybe 1,500 bucks ain’t shite to that old boomer who didn’t want a blood clot to form in his legs on a 10hr flight.

Sounds Ike 10 hours of leg room was worth more than $1500. Cam is a multimillionaire, why didn’t he buy the seat he wanted in the first place or offer the guy some real money? This is the dumbest narrative ever

honestly, reading the feed, it's nice that virtually every response from another black person is to make fun of Tariq.

My only interest in this particular case is that Tariq is NOT some random shithead on Twitter. He's someone who gets friggin invited to opine on national policy on TV and radio.

What the frick are they thinking!

Is this idiot being serious?

If so, @tariqnasheed, you can go frick yourself with an AIDS dick, you racist black bitch.

PS - Most white people will never wake up, but the fact is there's an ALL-OUT WAR being waged against white people every day. What happened at the Mall of America was indicative of this. The Covington High School kids being branded as racist even though two other minority groups were RACIALLY HARASSING THEM. Jussie Smollett perpetrated a fake hate crime, and he got off scott-free. Etc., etc.

This is the state of our country now. Thanks, Obama.

The difference in price between a first class and coach ticket on a 10 hour flight very well have been $1500 or more.
