Black and white


A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. 'Madam, what is the matter,' the Hostess asked. 'You obviously do not see it then?' she responded. 'You placed me next to a Black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.' 'Be calm please, the Hostess replied. 'Almost all the seats on this flight are taken. I will go      to see if another seat is available.' The Hostess went away and came back a few minutes later. 'Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy class. I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there are also no seats in the Business class. All the same, we still have one seat in First class.' Before the woman could reply, the Hostess continued: 'It is unusual for our company to permit someone from Economy class to sit in First class. However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.' She turned to the Black man and said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First class.' At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.
