lol...I’ve had the same experience - except it was also the very last row on the airplane that didn’t have reclining seats.

I call it “scum class” ;p

White "privilege", whatever that may have been at one time, is declining because we have, as a society, surrendered it. And the POC who are gaining ground because of our racial largess won't be returning the favor.

In fact, throughout all of history, I cannot find another example of any other race, as a whole, who have ever acted in such a fashion. You think those 'underprivileged' people would be grateful. No, they will leverage it so that they rule the roost. Witness their behaviors in the present day.

I flew in the middle seat two weeks ago. Was blessed that the window seat passenger was a young Marine who was going home for 10 days after graduating from Boot Camp. We chatted for the entire flight.

Another politician that thinks her race gives her certain entitlements above the citizens she works for.

If there is a risk for black women it isn't coming from non-black people on a plane.

While the mayor sat in first-class, her team, including her security detail, were seated in coach.

LOL - so there weren't any black women on LaToya Cantrell team? Black women fighting for their lives while white MAGA passengers tried to enslave them? What a fool. She s typical democrat - all liar, all day, all the time...

The only newscaster corrupt enough to believe this vile woman is Chuck Todd. He'll buy her lies about being afraid to fly with middle class MAGA passengers - just like he bought VP Harris' lies.

She defends criminals in court too. Biden may put her on the Supreme Court next.

The best bet would be to contact the airlines she used on her trip, and to tell them that she called their tourist class seating “unsafe for black women”.

Not only will the airlines get apoplectic about it, but they will likely put her on their “bad customer” list, or even the federal “no fly” list.

I used to catch space a space A flight from Delaware to Germany. I would leave Fort Bragg, NC and take any plane from Pope AFB to Dover. I recall flying on AF jets, but; I was also on C-130’s plus I flew from Wiesbaden to the Azores with an SF MSG in a C-124. Anyone who has served knows how slow that cargo plane is. This witch needs to sit on pallets. Then she might appreciate the jets.

I’d bet a huge percentage of “her” voters cheered her on as she lived it up in luxury - a grotesque role model for them, who are all about “getting over”.

Black “leaders” have never run anything for the betterment of their constituents. It is always for the hustle and getting even with “the system.” Coleman Young paved the way and showed how it is done.

what the heck is a MAYOR doing going to France and Switzerland (with staff and security)

As I recall, she was exploiting a recent trend involving "sister cities" - signing of proclamations, exchanging of cultural gifts, etc. (in Switzerland, the city is Ascona - on the southern Swiss border with Italy). Like New Orleans, Ascona hosts some sort of annual jazz music festival... so promoting tourism seems to have been the selling point for the trip. I assume the destination in France was similar, possibly a follow-up visit to a "sister city" already established by Mitch Landrieu.

I've noticed that these trips are always one-way. Mayors of U.S. cities set up these "relationships" as excuses for overseas travel, but you rarely hear of any foreign officials traveling to the U.S. for similar reasons.

Of course, the greatest irony is that New Orleans tourism lives or dies based on the perceived safety level of the city. In that regard, Miz Cantrell has been acting to kill tourism since she took office.

Orwell put this in the mouth of Squealer the Pig:

“Comrades!' he cried. 'You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”

We should be grateful.

The last time I flew coach I got stuck in a middle seat with a 400 lb. ghettopotamus in the aisle seat. Being buried for 2 hours under all those rolls of blubber was one of the most traumatic experiences of my entire life.

Poor you! My wife was seat mates with Dan Rather from Oklahoma City to Chicago.
