A True Story About Racism
This is a true story it actually happened I was there.On British Airways flight FR112 from Johannesburg,a rich,middle-aged white woman from South Africa was on the plane.She was running up and down the aisles she was that rich,and if people said stop she would give them money and say “now do I have to stop?” and then she’d keep on doing it.When the plane was about to take off she sat down in her seat and was immediately disgusted because she was sitting next to a black man.
“Stewardess,bleeeuurrrgghh,” she wailed to the stewardess.“Stewardess there’s a black man,bleeeuuurgh I’m going to be sick,this is repulsive euuurrrggghhh.” She kept making vomiting noises and pointing at the black man though she wasn’t vomiting.The black man was getting a bit embarrassed.The stewardess came over to the woman and asked what was wrong.
“You put me next to a black man,bleeeuuuurrghhh,that is so euuurrrghhhhh.I can’t believe this,” she complained and complained.
“Oh,I’ll see what I can do!” enthused the stewardess as she scurried up the plane and behind a curtain.After a moment she came back and said,“I’m soooooo sorry,but there are no more seats in economy,but there’s a seat in first class.” The rich woman’s eyes lit up.First class was her kind of thing.The stewardess continued talking,“it’s really rare that we allow this sort of thing,but we think it’s completely unfair that you have to sit next to such an obnoxious human being.”
“So that is why,” the stewardess went on,“WE ARE GIVING THE SEAT TO THE BLACK MAN because you (the woman) are the obnoxious human being I was talking about.”
The black man stood up and bowed to the rest of the plane,who were now giving a standing ovation to the black man.“Three cheers!” they shouted.“Hip hip!Hooray!Hip hip!Hooray!Hip hip!Hooray!” And with that the black man went to first class,and on his seat there was a gift.He opened it.It was a letter.It said “SORRY ABOUT RACISM.”
