1. Ppl felt a way in the comments of this tweet I made earlier. They said I was reaching..So lets do an analysis of the general anti-Black animosity that comes with the airline. People in the dominant society have always had an intrinsic anxiety about traveling with Black people
2. This was the main reason they had strictly enforced Jim Crow sections in modes of transportation like trains, buses, etc. This anxiety is REALLY enforced on ships. (you can guess where that anxiety stemmed from) 
3. Systematic white supremacy is maintained by having a MILITARY mechanism at the immediate disposal of the suspected white supremacists for protection. This generally comes in the form of law enforcement. People who benefit from systematic white supremacy are fully aware of this
4. When people are in transportation mode, some mechanisms of transportation limit the access of militaristic back-up for the white supremacists. And when Black people are in the vicinity of this transportation, the white supremacists are hyper sensitive.
5. Oftentimes, when Black people are traveling within the vicinity of suspected white supremacists, especially on planes, the suspected racists feel more comfortable when Blacks are in a subordinate position
6. Many Black people who has flown in 1st class on planes, have experienced the random white person sitting next to them who is hell bent on finding out what the Black person does for a living. (this happens to me almost every time I fly, btw. I have made videos on this)
7. Notice how you will see multiple cases of white people getting Black people kicked off planes for minor reasons. This stems from the desire to make sure their "whiteness" is in tact while being forced (in their minds)to be near unknown Black ppl. scmp.com/news/world/uni…
8. A couple of months ago, a Black woman was kicked off a plane and arrested because she didn't want to sit in a seat where someone VOMITED. essence.com/news/black-wom…
9. Remember last year when a white supremacist went on an anti-Black rant on a flight because he did not want to sit next to a Black woman. And he wasn't even kicked off the flight, btw. huffpost.com/entry/ryanair-…
10. Earlier this year, a suspected white supremacist female racially antagonized two Black male passengers she had to sit between. And the media tried to spin this into a "fat shaming" narrative. (the media always assists with the denial of racism code)
11. And we can't forget the numerous cases where Black men are kicked off flights for 'sagging their pants". The ol' "it-not-racism-it-the-dress-code" excuse is one of the favorite anti-Black subordination tactics of the white supremacists nydailynews.com/news/national/…
12. Airlines will eject, and even arrest Black passengers for "sagging pants", yet these same airlines let white men fly around like THIS, and won't see any problems with it.
Men like this are allowed to fly, and get bussy stains on airline seats, and no one complains

13. Airlines will often reprimand Black passengers for any minor racially enforced dress code violation......
But we have to sit in front on THIS person, and WE will get kicked off for complaining

14. Now back to Cam Newton. Cam is constantly referred to as an "uppity" Black man, because he moves around confidently on AND off the field. And there is always a desire to put an "uppity Black" in their place. THATS what ppl like about the airline story.
