Want to get out of any form of bad behavior? Now, all you have to do is play the racism card.
Of course sometimes the race card back fires.
From NBC:
A passenger's loud singing and references to Ferguson, Missouri, was behind Thursday's diversion of a Los Angeles-bound jet, officials said in their report of the incident.
Delta Flight 81, traveling from Atlanta to Los Angeles, made the unscheduled stop at Albuquerque International Sunport just after 6 p.m. Thursday so that a first-class passenger could be removed from the plane, in what a passenger said was described as a "security issue."
An incident report shows that issue was a 27-year-old Wichita man's singing aloud to music playing from his headphones, which bothered other passengers.
When he was asked by another passenger and later a flight attendant to stop, the passenger "made references to the recent Ferguson Missouri incident" and "also stated he was being harassed because he was black," according to an incident report released by airport police.
The upset and crying passenger went to the restroom several times "and it became a concern to the flight crew" and prompted the diversion, aviation police said in their report.This story reflects something much worse in American culture. Respect and courtesy for fellow Americans is gone. A generation ago, if someone was doing something was disturbing a neighbor on a flight, there would be an apology and a reasonable accommodation.
The passenger was not charged but was not allowed back on the flight. He caught a flight to Los Angeles Friday morning, police said. He never made any direct threats, passengers interviewed by police said.
Unfortunately this decline is a sign of the decline of our civilization. Common courtesy is the lubricant that keeps our society functioning.
But now a significant part of America thinks the rules no longer apply to them. A significant part of American now believes they are privileged and other parts of society simply have to put up with them.
That does not bode well for the future of this nation.
