It's not like their aircraft are falling apart. Since things are running so swimmingly, they have time to celebrate black history. Be sure to join in today and earn your miles!

Yeah! Why aren’t they celebrating “Tranny History Month” or “Cross Dressers Month” or “Transvestite History Month”? There are SO many more opportunities for United to celebrate! Kirby better get after his marketing department.

I have over a million miles on that airline from pre covid days when I did consulting and teaching in Europe. Looks like one or two first class trips on an affiliate airline to burn them. No way in hell I will give them to a “racial justice” BS racial superiority terror group like BLM. How did we get here? Commie chinese and democrats, that’s how.

There is no such thing as "racial justice". There's only justice,

The only way to "empower" students, of any stripe, is study, hard work, and perseverance. Phony subjects don't count.

One way to tell whether a subject is phony, is to imagine yourself relocated to China. Would the Chinese pay you for work in your field of study?

United might consider actually providing safe, affordable, and enjoyable transportation. Woke has pretty destroyed all of that. Try screwing on landing gear wheels properly as a start.

Isn’t this the same airline that has a drag queen for a CEO?

Same here. We've got over a million miles in the United bank from business travel. This REALLY hacks me off. There have been lots of reasons we haven't given United any business since I retired and this is yet another reason.

“There is no such thing as “racial justice”. There’s only justice”

Agreed. There is justice and there is injustice. That is all.

If someone can’t sell their idea using the word “justice” and must use a modifier, they are probably trying to sell injustice.

No, it is widely purported to be the CEO of United Airlines, Scott Kirby. There have been lots of stories circulating lately that he enjoys being a drag queen. They seem to be based on the fact that the guy in the photos LOOKS like Kirby, but I’m not sure if there is any confirmation.

Yes. Kirby is purported to be a drag queen based on the similarity of looks of Kirby and the photos of the guy in drag. I don't know if there is positive confirmation of that. Lots of stories, though.

BUT, interestingly, I have not heard any push-back or comment from Kirby or UA on that.

United Air is not asking for people to donate miles to BLM. It is asking for donations to three charities — LDF, TMCF, and UNCF — in exchange for bonus miles: https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/mileageplus/black-history-month.html

With that said, I have absolutely no interest in giving my hard-earned money to any charity who hates me because of my race, ethnicity, religion, or conservative politics.

OOPS. I see that now. I thought it was asking to donate miles to charities (like I have done with others where I don’t have enough to bother)

Indeed I will not be giving anything to BLM or other racist orgs like that. I give enough April 15th and haven’t seen a “thank you” card yet.
