Wow, this rings so much like RACIST propaganda, sorry I dont believe a word you are saying. First off if you were sitting in first class you would get a pair of nice headphones for the asking- you would also not have to worry about anyone leaning too far over into your seat- first-class doesn't have that issue. Finally, in first-class the Flight Attendant would have relocated you with one of his family members so they could deal with it or at least buffer the noise.

This is not a real story this is your attempt and propagating the illusion that people with color are less mannered or less able to navigate society within the norms acceptable to all of us. Right out of the racist's playbook. You end your story stating the family must have had some "power" or he was a "basketball player" then you say “channel” the Jacksons, like that, is the only powerful black family in the world. So I call BS on this story.

OR

You are serving some guilty way of trying to be a better human - hear me out. You are writing this to force yourself into some context in which you can resolve your own fears...maybe :O)

or last guess-

You were in coach and had a horrible flight with some arse that only cared about themselves and color had nothing to do with it.

Get me? Peace Respect Forward
