This next scene took place on a
BA flight between Johannesburg and London.
A white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously
disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the matter," the
hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she responded. "You placed me
next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant
group. Give me an alternative seat." "Be calm please," the hostess replied.
"Almost all the places on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another
place is available." The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes
later. "Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the
economy class. I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there is also no
seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in the first
class." Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not
usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the
first class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would
be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." She turned to
the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect
your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class." At that moment, the other
passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed, stood up and
applauded. This is a true story... If you are against racism, please send this
message to all your friends.
