I think UA screwed the pooch on this one. Why did Jackson have to resort to racism?

Woman Lee is a racist ! Kicked out a South American woman so she could get whatever. By the way, who paid for dimwittas ticket, shouldn’t she be in coach, or worse?

Why did Jackson have to resort to racism?

Because to her, EVERYTHING is racist! It's all she has. She can do whatever she wants and if anybody complains, they're a racist. Just like all the racists who said anything negative about obama.

[JB White]

It was a rhetorical question but the replies confirm the intent. That woman shouldn't be holding public office because she surely isn't representing her constituency. It's all about her. Yet, if another candidate had once hired someone 20 years ago who had a relative who once used a word in public, or if a bona fide racist slapped that candidates bumper sticker on their vehicle...that automatically makes that candidate a racist? They get run out of town on a proverbial rail? WTF
This country is no better off than it was 80 years ago. Only now it's a different group with their own set of Jim Crow-style bullxxxx rules!

Her people get what they elect. I don't think UA bumped this pax to put her on the flight. Also she has so many miles I'd bet she is automatically booked into first class everytime she buys a coach ticket.
