Today, an elderly white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said, "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The flight attendant said, "The only available seat is in first class. It is our policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but I know I wouldn’t want to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person either, so I will make an exception today." Before the woman could say anything, the flight attendant gestured to the man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, I would like to move you to first class as I don’t want you to sit next to an unpleasant person." Passengers in the seats nearby began clapping. MMT

That would be touching if it were a real event you experienced instead of a story that's been doing its rounds on the internet for the last few years...

As JC said above, this story has been circulating around for quite some time. Keep posts genuine please.

It honestly saddens me that this disingenuous story rose to the surface of all the other submittals and was posted. I think that there are real people with real stories that they need to have shared, and this means that one of them won't be posted. That MMT.

I wish they had at least used the better worded version. This reads like wood.
