It's hard to imagine anything more racist than a document instructing "white folks" how they should act because of the color of the skin they were born with. SMH

Mr. Morean, my family were fervent abolitionists and were active in the Underground Railroad trying to save escaped slaves. My family name is on the monument of the Pennsylvania volunteers at Gettysburg and I was named after a relative who died a prisoner in a Confederate POW camp. All my life I have worked for non-profit organizations which help educate and empower people in the poorest urban communities in America. I have worked with international organizations who work for social justice issue in the developing world.

At the university they removed all the men's and women's rooms and made them "gender neutral". In doing so, they removed all the urinals (the sight of a urinal must be offensive).

Sometimes, it's best to to leave well enough alone and leave it up to the individual what bathroom to choose.

I kind of feel bad. I mean, who doesn't want a dozen photos of an inflight meal and lengthy monologue concerning the contents of the amenities kit? Maybe there was going to be a nice hand cream in it.

Never fails to amaze me that babies and small children are enemy number one on planes. I'd much rather sit next to a screaming kid than some vapid twits who spend the flight trimming their nails and doing their makeup, taking off their shoes and rubbing their smelly feet all over anything, threatening to sue the airline and cursing for hours because their food was wrong or they didn't get bumped up to business class, or fall asleep on your shoulder the minute the wheels leave the ground and don't wake up until landing. Give me a map to avoid that.

LOL Talk about fake news and sensational headlines. No wonder journalism is dead - these people are shameless trying to generate clicks.

Taylor Beck, exactly. We live in the age of outrage where rational thought has been replaced with "feels".

Knee-jerk reactions are always the best bet. Also, remember to panic in any potential crisis situation.

Taylor Beck, if the cause is found to be a catastrophic engine failure, fuel tank explosion, terrorism, etc., don't expect the wannabe crash investigators to ever publicly correct the record.
