In reply to Mr.BD.

Again, I agree BD. He should be fired. Unfortunately I doubt that he will be – because I suspect we have lot of “Unfit” jokers piloting planes these days, working for airlines that don’t give a fig about anything but the bottom line. $$$$

In reply to Mr.BD. Yes BD, I agree. "White privilege" is certainly a huge factor as well. But it goes beyond even that. Why else are so many White people desperately trying to make the rest of Us (people who still wear a mask) stop wearing a mask? Why does it anger them to see Us (even Black people) wear our mask? Because the mask is a reminder that there's something out there that they (fearful White people) CAN'T control. And THAT is an uncomfortable and Frightening thing for them!

In reply to Truthiz1. Hey Truth the whole thing is all about white privilege. They are not use to being told what to do is what it is. The one time they have to do something in life for anybody but themselves they throw a tantrum. Like those women they showed throwing groceries in stores when somebody told them they had to wear a mask to shop. It is all about white privilege.

The only punishment this pilot should get is fired. The one person on a plane you should be able to trust about safety and he is going around making fun of people? Get him off the planes.

There was a time when I would not have thought of White Americans as being a Fearful people. As a Black woman, born and raised in America, there are a number of words I could have used (and did use) to describe White Americans. FEAR was NOT one of those words. But that time is long gone.

Particularly since Covid, I’ve now come to realize that Anything that disturbs their comfort level, they FEAR. I truly believe the main impulse that drives many, if not most of white America, is FEAR. And then willful ignorance. And then race/racism.

And in any society, that combination makes for a highly toxic and deadly stew.
