I cant possibly sit next to this unpleasant person. Find me another seat!” “Please calm down, Madam.” the attendant replied. “The flight is very full today, but Ill check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class.” The woman gave an unfriendly glance at the angry black man beside her. 1.

But, in this case, the captain felt it unfair that someone should be forced to sit next to such an unpleasant person.” With these words, she turned to the black man and said, “So if youd like to get your things, sir, your seat is ready for you in first class.” At this point, the surrounding passengers stood up and clapped their hands loudly as the black man walked up.1.
