Big fan of United Airlines flight attendants taking the initiative and kicking people off flights for wearing terrible snapbacks

You're the only one spouting this "can be seen as a threat" nonsense, doesn't make it true.

Well, Wakanda won't allow United Airlines planes in their airspace anymore.

Edit: NVM, I wasn't aware. Apologies.
I think the issue was likely a combination of the hat and shirt put together that created the issue. It doesn't make what happened right but to be honest with racial tensions being what they are, and a lot of people today don't have a lot of context for what the Black Panthers actually were and some only believe that they were native terrorists.
Admittedly I've only recently started to educate myself on the subject.

Love all these people justifying a person getting kicked out of a plane because of a Marvel comics hat. Stay classy. I mean she already have her shirt backwards because people are arses.
Speaking of staying classy...

Cursory glance at her Twitter revealed she prefers female pronouns. Least you can do is use them.

I am guessing because a dumb pilot associates it to the Black Panthers and not Marvel's Black Panther.

Try wearing a half and half Mexican and American flag shirt in a primarily white town and see how that feels

Well she is a woman that people think is a black male. Black males are always in a state of distress.
Something, something, cops.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Did you walk out of Civil War? BP and Cap are bros.
LMFAO!
A symbol of distress by those flying the flag upside down, not he nation on the flag. So we have you thinking someone saying they are in distress is a threat while those with a literal symbol of hate is no threat at all. Bloody hell.
Every part of this is a chain of stupidity by everyone who cared about the shirt and hat.

Should have taken the quinjet?
No, but seriously, the pilot is a dumbass.

Regardless if you like the shirt, it's ridiculous to be kicked off a plane for it.
If we are kicking people of planes over political opinion than a lot more people should be put on the no fly list.
Nothing this person is wearing is any form of hate speach. Kicking this upside-down American flag wearing person off a plane is pretty damn un-American.

That's what I'm thinking. People keep glossing over the whole altercation with a flight attendant.
Person probably ignored attendant with a healthy dose of eye rolling. Then got indignant when called out. Then screamed victim. Then will get a free voucher for a future date to do it again so the cycle can start again.
Regardless if it should be allowed or not, someone who wears that shit to an airplane is a moron so I have a tendency to believe the altercation went down slightly differently than her being a good abiding citizen.
As an aside, I hear a lot of people, attendants and passengers, are getting fed up by the shit people wear to flights nowadays. I wonder if a 'classy airlines' that enforces wearing a suit has viability.

you want me to wear a suit while getting squeezed into a tiny chair for 9 hours?

but why would a hat referencing the black panthers be an issue?

what's the problem with person?
You can't say she?
I want to believe you're trolling, but given your post history of just shitposting when people disagree with you, man I can just never tell anymore.
