A little boy kept teasing and kicking the seat of a black girl on the plane, but when the flight attendant stepped in to warn him, his mother shouted, āHeās just a child ā the problem is that Black monkey over there!ā The airlineās response made both mother and son deeply regret their actions..
The moment the plane doors closed, Maya Thompson felt a small thud on the back of her seat. At first, she ignored itāchildren got restless on flights all the time. But when the thud turned into nonstop kicking, followed by giggles, she turned around and saw a little boy, no older than seven, grinning mischievously. Before she could say a word, he stuck his tongue out at her.

Emily took a deep breath. āMaāam, that language is completely unacceptable.ā
But the woman wasnāt done. āUnacceptable? Whatās unacceptable is that youāre taking her side! My son can sit however he wants.ā
