[00:00:00]Get your hands off of me, bro.

[00:00:01]>> [music] >> What are you doing? What are you doing?

[00:00:04]Like, are you serious right now?

[00:00:10]Something wrong with you. Like, what is wrong?

[00:00:12]Hello.

[00:00:19]You are you crazy?

[00:00:21]You look crazy. You looking crazy.

[00:00:29]What are [music] you doing?

[00:00:33]Bro, quit touching me. Get your hands off me.

[00:00:37]You're And I got you on camera the whole time. Look at what you're doing. I got you on camera the whole time, bro. Get your hand off of me.

[00:00:46]>> [music] >> And I have the I I think that's discrimination.

[00:00:59]>> All right, put it up. Full mask. We got male Karen. Doesn't know the difference between his left and right hands yet.

[00:01:05]So, this particular male Karen passenger fights black woman over an armrest. The poster of the clip wrote that this incident occurred last month on a Southwest Southwest flight.

[00:01:20]Southwest It's time to look in the mirror.

[00:01:25]Okay.

[00:01:27]She also explained how badly the crew handled the situation. The poster will provide more details. Quote, On June 20th, I experienced something I never have before.

[00:01:40]A passenger on Southwest Airlines thought it was okay to get in a shoving match with me over my armrest.

[00:01:50]Uh and I want to say this, technically uh it is a federal crime on one to physical contact on a flight governed by the federal authority.

[00:02:02]As you can hear in one of the clips, the employee advised him that I was in the right to have the middle armrest, but he did not care. He proceeded to continue shoving and bullying me. Now, I've seen individuals get arrested for much less uh unwanted physical contact as a variation of statutory charges that could apply, anything from simple battery to assault. The bottom line is is unwanted physical contact and physical contact was intentional and meaningful and it actually was done by the person intentionally, period.

[00:02:46]Multiple times at this point.

[00:02:49]So, she says another quote, "Southwest Airlines then thought it would be a great idea to make me move." We had a story like that yesterday.

[00:03:05]All the way to the back of the plane.

[00:03:08]Southwest, you need to have a meeting.

[00:03:14]This is happening too much.

[00:03:17]To move her to the back of the plane.

[00:03:20]Okay? Or get off the plane. You got to either do that or you got to deplane.

[00:03:25]Uh even though it had already been acknowledged that the other passenger was in the wrong.

[00:03:30]Mind you.

[00:03:32]This was as I was on the way to celebrate my birthday weekend. I reached out to Southwest Airlines to be compensated for this horrible experience and impact this has had on me and the and they failed to take accountability, offer me anything for my trouble.

[00:03:49]Just yesterday, we covered a similar incident when Air France crew asked a black passenger to move from her seat because a white passenger did not want to sit next to a black woman in first class, even though the crew had relocated her to that seat in the first place.

[00:04:08]It was then under their authority presumably, but the white random male outranked all of them seeming somehow.

[00:04:19]Okay. Now, for the um uh for the workers involved situations, you got to understand why would you ever come to a situation where the male passenger is the aggressor. In one case, he's actually committing what could be charged as simple battery or assault, but you ask the black woman or you mandate the black woman to move as if the black woman in both cases should be inconvenienced while the white male aggressor should have every convenience in the world.

[00:05:09]And if you haven't asked yourself that question as to why you approached it that way, your bias is blind, yes, but still just as lethal.

[00:05:23]All right. Share thoughts.

[00:05:25]>> Yeah, they didn't tell him to move. And I've seen clips where a white damsel in distress in a similar situation, someone abusing or kicking the back of the chair or getting smart. And these flight attendants can do as they're trained to do and put a stop to that and remove that man. Okay?

[00:05:42]That's what they usually do, but not here because of course black women are strong and take care of themselves.

[00:05:49]They're loud, they have attitudes, and so even though he's in the wrong, you get up. It's societal indoctrination.

[00:05:55]It's a It's cemented by the current state of affairs in this country. I will say that portions of the clip gave some levity because this male Karen looks a lot like Mr. Whipple from the old Charmin commercials.

[00:06:10]Who police supermarket aisles up and down yelling at people not to squeeze the toilet paper. That's exactly if you put the picture up, I'm telling you that's exactly Mr. Whipple. And had the male Karen is sitting Uh that Do you see what I mean? Look up Mr. Whipple if you're too young to remember. I'm a fan of these old commercials, but it's a foreshadowing of what this woman went through. She deserves extra money for that. Okay, Southwest get it together.

[00:06:40]>> It will.

[00:06:41]>> You remember?

[00:06:42]>> All right. Yeah, I do.

[00:06:44]Perfect.

[00:06:45]Good.
