The NAACP, America’s oldest civil rights organization, has issued a fresh warning to American Airlines, cautioning that an adverse travel advisory could return without proper transparency over ongoing investigations concerning black passengers.
NAACP Threatens To Reinstate Travel Advisory Against American Airlines
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) President and CEO Derrick Johnson issued a statement Tuesday calling on American Airlines to provide an update on the investigations into several incidents involving black customers that have made headlines in recent months:
“The NAACP is proud to champion efforts to hold corporations accountable. The removal of our travel advisory in 2018 came as a result of a commitment to deliver on key stipulations that would prevent future discriminatory acts, one of which was a diversity, equity, and inclusion advisory council. Amidst the resurgence of attacks on DEI, American Airlines disbanded the panel in 2023.
Recent discriminatory actions from company employees prove that there is a dire need for continued accountability and resolution to this clear pattern. We encourage American Airlines to come revive the advisory panel and reconvene with the NAACP to devise a path forward that ensures equitable experiences for all American Airlines customers. Without a swift and decisive response, the NAACP will be forced to reinstate an advisory against the airline.”
Those incidents include:
- Lawsuit Claims Eight Unrelated Black Men Were Thrown Off American Airlines Flight After White Flight Attendant Complained About Body Odor
- American Airlines Flight Attendant Banishes Black Woman To Economy Class Lavatory For “Slamming” First Class Lavatory Door
- Black Rapper Blasts White Police Officer Who Stopped Him While Boarding An American Airlines Flight
The NAACP says it “continues to work, forging a path forward where diversity, equity, and inclusion are ingrained into the fabric of corporate America, holding corporations accountable to their duties to [b]lack consumers who drive our nation’s economy.”
In 2017, the NAACP issued a travel advisory, warning black travelers to be cautious about flying on Ameican Airlines. That was lifted in 2018.
Being called out by the NAACP or the ADL is a badge of honor and a prerequisite for not being evil.
This doesn’t mean that there aren’t the occasional isolated errors or injustices. Of course there are. This means that organizations and institutions pushing a false narrative, DEI, anti White hate, and calling anyone who criticizes their bad behavior anti semitic or racist are bad actors.
To clarify:
Flight Attendants and gate agents for the big 3 are routinely bad to everyone. To allege a racial animus is disheartening. It’s like with the police. They’ll claim only certain groups are persecuted and abused by cops but ignore that cops persecute and abuse all groups, we just don’t hear about it on the news because it doesn’t fit into the narrative. When 5 cops of the same race as the victim commit an act of abuse in Memphis, Whites still get blamed.
Peace and love.
“This means that organizations and institutions pushing a false narrative, DEI, anti White hate, and calling anyone who criticizes their bad behavior anti semitic or racist are bad actors.”
Only bad actors here are people like you who seem terrified by America’s changing demographics.
We people are not afraid. We believe in a melting pot not a salad. Immigration not illegal invasion should be celebrated, not the reverse.
Hi. Brown immigrant here checking in. Shut up, Aaron.
Race-baiting grifters justifying their own existence
Don’t you have a Klan meeting to get to?
The NAACP is the black version of the klan. With exceptions, the airlines treat treat everyone the same. Respectful behavior by the customer gets you the same treatment back. The NAACP is no longer needed and hinders black Americans integration into society.
What does anyone exist from a company which moved its headquarters to Texas?
Sounds like they’re trying to extort a “donation”.
Don’t they know that AA treats everybody like shit equally.
When I did make on male porn I never discriminated even though some of those guys were very big. They never smelled different to me and I certainly never said no to a paycheck. You still can find me under Colt Studios online. But now I’m the world’s greatest gambler, they call me the GOAT and those days are in the past. Find me on Facebook if interested in changing your life for the better. I’m Christopher Mitchell these days.
“The NAACP, America’s oldest civil rights organization…”
The NRA was founded in 1871.
The NRA and NAACP have something in common in that they’re civil rights organizations that represent the civil rights of a particular group: whether gun owners or African Americans. Which is fine, but technically then pretty much most PAC’s are “civil rights” organizations just as most lawyers are “civil rights” attorneys since they utilize legal rights arguments on behalf of their clients. When I retained an attorney to help get my speeding ticket reduced, she was a “civil rights” attorney for me.
There’s the National Coalition for Men but otherwise, there’s no official organization to represent the interests of ethnic European Americans that are not dismissed as racist. In some cases, this is appropriate (in that they were founded by former white supremacists) but nonetheless, I regard the USA as merely having reversed Jim Crow rather than eliminated it.
People must be living in a fantasy world of their own imagination or wishful thinking if they really believe that African-Americans aren’t more commonly and frequently hit by the hostility of racism in daily life in the US and in Europe (when in Europe) than the average European-American in the same places even when of comparable socio-economic background.
It’s so interesting to see racists claim to be victims of racism as a way to avoid acknowledgment that in fact it’s “the other” — the minorities whom they hate — who really are hit hard, more commonly and more frequently by racism than the dominant majority/plurality community members. It’s straight from the David Duke playbook to do as PolishKnight is doing. David Duke being the (Catholic-hating) former KKK leader from Louisiana who never stopped being racist against African-Americans in particular.
As I said it’s a cultural problem.
So you are saying AA has a culture problem?
I’m just curious, if someone chose to not use an oxford comma in a quote, would you edit one in when you quoted them?
Just blacks being black.
And racists like you being racist.
Aaron bad behavior has consequences. In my 40 years of customer service experience black women feel entitled and will treat reps badly if they don’t get their way immediately.
…. as if the same couldn’t also be said about “white”, “brown” and other women and men too. :rolleyes:
People who feel they have an entitlement to a paid-for product or service get “uppity” when the product or servics fails to live up to the customer’s expectations? Well, that’s not a “black female culture” thing — it’s a human customer thing in the face of hostile customer service machines not interested in making amends as much as going cheap on customer service and customer care.
Let’s encourage and adopt a culture where men have children, leave the women who had them and then go out on their own. They then view their former lovers, and any other, women as “ho’s”. Then let’s applaud and revere those men in culture, in song and in scripture and lifestyle.
Then let’s call anyone who criticizes that kind of life or lifestyle as a racist.
Then let’s enact laws that perpetuate that sort of life, reward it with the money of those who don’t support it and vilify those non-supporters as racists, backward or “MAGAS”.
Here we are.

Racist dog whistle from the usual suspects? Either way, sounds like a vote for Biden’s Republican opponent in November 2024. We know that Republican guy as a a serial philanderer, a guy who has had children with multiple women, had extramarital affairs including even while his current wife was pregnant with his youngest child, declares STDs to be his “personal Vietnam”, and has a thing for cheating with “adult industry” workers? Yes, his last name starts with T and ends with P; and he’s known as Don the Con who is all into ripping off anyone and everyone including his own fan base.
