People boasting their priority rights, especially at airports, have a questionable attitude anyway. Yes, you earn these perks because you fly too much and they are really useful if you do not just occasionally fly, but they should never be a reason to feel superior. In this case, I guess it might have been racism, but it might have been plain old judgemental behaviour "only". I myself have gotten angry looks and "What are you doing there?" questions in boarding queues. Turns out boarding group 2 (business class) needed to wait until I had boarded from group 1 (Star Alliance gold, irregardless of class) :D. And know what? Children and elderly could even go before – rightly! Or those people in suits that "coincidently" show their gold status hand baggage tags, casually peeking at your boarding pass with a arrogant grin, only to realize the guy in sneakers has a diamond card. Hillarious! Status is nothing, respect is everything. Especially in condensed airport and plane situations.

To be honest I hope that she does find out that this happened to her. That she should be ashamed of what she did. But, even though her actions are terrible. I hope she would still get a chance to make amends without finding later on that she is constantly trolled, stalked or continuously shamed online. All to often a moment of "stupid" gets blown up online and people's lives are ruined. Either online or with real life events. She seems really stuck up so I can't really see how this could be anything other than stupid or racist, but you never know what was going on in their head when they make a scene like this. If there is one thing I have learned in my years of flying. Airports seem to bring out the worst in people, seem to attract the most self-absorbed people, and some of the best people with the best stories I have ever talked to. I just wish more of us talked with each other instead of staring at our phones the entire time.

And..... did you check if everything is real? All we saw is a pick of him w some bm on top of the woman, no pics of the woman being rude, the crowd clapping or w/e? Tried to look up and everywhere else all has the same pic? So now if I takes a picture of a woman and say she raped me would you believed it? Should double check the everything written on the internet please.... Also he wrote some sorry to the woman, saying he shouldn't have insulted her, but doesn't bother finding out who she is... instead just post on his own twitter/fb ... really?

He didn’t lose his temper because this didn’t happen. It’s literally just a selfie with people in the background and text underneath. Nobody erupts into applause. Racist hicks love the military. No way this nonsense is real. Racism is real, and present EVERYWHERE. But this isn’t real.

Not *everything... the whole "n***a with money" thing... just sounds stupid. He went from above her to sounding on about the same par as her.

except the part where he called himself a n****r

I agree except that he used the n-word... I don't understand why ANYONE should be able to say it, white or black. It's a rude word no matter WHAT your race :( Still a funny story and loved how he reacted to the racism, just thought that for me personally, the n-word tainted the victory a little bit...

yay, saying n***a is always appropriate

Yeah, it's all first-class and caviar on those PCS moves. /sarcasm

Exactly - and our military puts their butts on the line every day - what is she doing except complaining she wanted to go "first"....keep walking Miss!

I think military personnel often get discounted tickets or bumped up as a way by the airlines to thank them for their service and that's what she was referring to. not that the US military would pay to fly its personnel first class.

Really. If they could get us in cargo the probably would 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ve only been in priority about 4 times and I was bored. So honestly I need to sit where the action is😂😂😂

Just proves how stupid she really is

Lmao for real. I was in the Army. They’re not shelling out First Class Tickets for s**t.

I think rather she was implying he got a free upgrade for military service. Regardless, this is ingratiated racism, bet she would disagree because she has black friends 🙄

You are part of the solution, Lana!!

Where was it exposed? I would like to read that info.

Wait, WHAT? He has no class because you SUSPECT this might not be real??? Show me the proof, and I'll listen to your opinion.

Well, she's white, he's black - obviously it must have been racist! people cannot be just rude to each other, they must be racist! /sarcasm

She wasn't cutting in. She was standing behind him and didn't think he could possibly belong there...so she had to open her mouth and remind him that someone like him couldn't possibly have priority boarding. She would be the one to assume he was the bellboy in a posh and very upscale hotel, the busboy in a posh and very upscale restaurant...or some other form of hired help in any other very posh and upscale place. I hope someone outs her so the whole world can know who she really is. This isn't about racism, class-ism, or white privilege...this is all three rolled into one.

Because she's a self-absorbed snoot who believes she entitled to things others aren't entitled to.
