American Airlines crews will be allowed to wear Black Lives Matter pins on their uniforms while on duty, the company announced Sunday. “In addition, the company is also working to design its own pin that will show its symbolic support of a diverse and inclusive work environment,” according to Fox News. The airline’s company-wide announcement read: Clearly we live in a time where it is so important to have a dialogue about this important issue of racism in our society and try to find common ground. American is truly committed to having an inclusive culture that is welcoming to all and a reflection of our country and world. This is why American is so committed to creating a more tolerant and diverse team. Through our partnership with American’s office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we are continuing to work through an overall plan for addressing these issues in our workplace. The airline’s Black Professional Network will design its uniform pin, the Fox Report stated.

"...committed to creating a more tolerant and diverse team..." Unless you are NOT a POC. Then, you will NOT be tolerated. Lucky for me I have ZERO need or desire to fly anywhere any more.

“Lucky for me I have ZERO need or desire to fly anywhere any more.”

Me, as well.

I’m REALLY curious about what’s going to happen if/when some crew member or some passenger decides to wear a Trump 2020 pin, much less a hat or t-shirt.

How much “Flair” does an American Airlines stew get to wear anyway?

There’d be a fight on board. Especially if I was there.

I applaud AA for allowing freedom of speech and freedom of expression for its employees. I trust the airlines will equally welcome MAGA hats worn by their passengers, and that they will aggressively defend such passengers from other passengers in case there is any dispute. They also need to realize that I have the right not to fly their stupid airlines.

I do not understand how corporations with their nauseating virtual signaling BLM support-—which is a registered corporation that hates capitalistic businesses and also wants to destroy the family and the status of men-—think that outright physical fighting on airplanes is a good idea.

One guy with MAGA hat, another with BLM, third blocks the aisle, fourth slams opponent’s face into the overhead luggage bin. Blood splashes from forehead cut open. Three others trip over each other stomping the MAGA guy repeatedly.

The two pilots, opposite politically, are triggered by the scene and start to fight each other, hands on throats as the lane descends. (They were never over Macho Grande.)

Of course, White Lives Matters and MAGA pins are allowed.

as the plane descends....

But I won’t take it back that they were never over Macho Grande.

I find it odd that an airline would allow their employees to wear a “I Support Violent, Marxist Revolutionaries” pin, but times are strange now.

American Airlines has accepted that the violent anti-American Marxist group known as BLM is an acceptable behavior from its employees. DO NOT FLY on American Airlines if you value your safety as they have chosen violence and savagery over safety.
