Racist Airline Staff Suspended

If you think that racism is a thing of the past in the US then this incident is going to shock you with the extent of racial injustice that still exists there. Many black men had accused American Airlines of racism and sued them legally for the staff’s behavior towards them. Now the airline has responded by suspending a number of its staff who were responsible for this.

The incident occurred in January in which a number of passengers were removed from a flight after there was an odor complaint. A total of 8 passengers were asked to deboard because of the situation. Three black men who were seated separately and didn’t know each other accused that the airlines singled them out just for being black.

They claimed that all black people were deboarded between the flight from Phoenix to New York City. The action against the staff after months seems insufficient and it can never compensate for the humiliation that the people faced.




This is not the first incidence of racism in the public sphere in America. The culturally awakened land of America can’t be seen in practice. The reality is as ugly as this incident and it is hard to say if the conditions are getting better or worse.
