LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (CBSLA.com) – Six passengers kicked off a Spirit Airlines plane at Los Angeles International Airport Monday night accused a flight attendant of discrimination.
The travelers said they were singled out and booted off the aircraft because they are black.
“I’m really humiliated just for the simple fact that you hear about this type of stuff happening in America, discrimination issues and stuff like that, but to actually experience it first-hand,†said passenger Alexandria Wright.
Witnesses told CBS2/KCAL9’s Tom Wait the passengers were removed from Flight 868 after a white flight attendant accused a member in the group of being a threat.
It started with confusion over a seat, which the travelers claimed was double-booked. Then police came and escorted the three couples, all black, off the plane.
“It was more than just us having the conversation. Why is that six black people got kicked off the plane?†Wright asked.(snip)
After arriving at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, witnesses on the flight told reporters the banned passengers were being disruptive.

Soon there will be laws & standards for them, and laws and standards for the rest of us.
It use to be that passengers knew how to act but no more.
Can’t wait for videos from 10 angles to shed light on it.
witnesses reported them being disruptive.
i dont want any kooks on my plane. does anyone?
More of the special class not being respected as want. Too bad.
I don't think some of these people even realize how ugly their personas are....
Get a bunch of self-segregated blacks together and they’ll get loud. Real loud.
I’m old enough to remember when all the racists lived ONLY in Alabama.
I’m getting so tired of, “Because I’m BLACK.” excuses......................
lol. I love when i read posts that i’m too afraid to post!! :)
...and Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia......................and some in Kentucky................
Comments at the site don’t seem to be very, well, let’s just say they don’t see it the way the ejected passengers are trying to portray it.
Racist flight attendant expected them to ‘act white’.
Black women booted from Napa Valley wine train file lawsuit
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Black-women-booted-from-Napa-Valley-wine-train-6544657.php
“The 11 women sued Napa Valley Wine Train Inc., claiming they were singled out because of race and seeking $11 million in damages.”
Exactly why am I supposed to not believe they were being unruly?
A flight attendant is going to risk her job, an airline is going to risk bad publicity? How long until one or more passengers go on record about what happened?
2) Black student chair-flipped by cop
3) 6 unruly black passengers at LAX
PsyOps in overdrive. All staged for media frenzy.
The other night I was sitting in a very nice ocean front restaurant. It was quiet and upscale. Then six or seven large black women were seated out on the patio. (fortunately not near my table!)
I don’t think they even realized how loud they were. And as they drank alcohol they got even louder. Maybe they were raised in a barn or maybe they were trying to get booted so they could sue.
