The following scene took place on a BA flight between
Johannesburg and London.
This is a true story.
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 places on this flight are taken.
I will go to see if another seat is available."
The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later.
"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats
in the Economy class.
I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there is
also no seats in the Business class.
All the same, we still have one seat in the First class."
Before the woman could say anything, the Hostess continued:
"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from
the Economy class to sit in the 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 guy, 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.
If you are against Racism, please send this message to all your

The best part of this story is the fact that it's true!
Saya rasa, bila topic racist(m) dibicarakan, secara automatic gambaran konflik antara orang putih dan orang hitam terbayang di kotak fikiran.
SEjak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, bangsa asia dan arab juga termasuk dalam konflik tersebut.
Saya kira, di Malaysia juga sama. perbezaan antara kaum-kaum 'tertentu' juga jelas. terutamanya terhadap bangsa-bangsa pendatang tanpa izin.
am i making sense?
well done!!! what a good story. hearing this story I'm happy to say that in the small hospital i work in, i feel everyone gets along so very well with everyone else no matter the race, like a well oiled machine.
cool story. Served the woman right!
ya, and who said black people are disgusting? they might be even nicer than them! that's why i say don't judge a book by it's cover!
Snopes.com says this is an urban legend.
