salon I don't like their style of writing- IMO they dramatize & ramp-up racial 'tensions" for no reason except click bait & to agitate people about NAACP

BELOW FROM NYT ARTICLE and there are links in article to explain each incident https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/travel/naacp-american-airlines.html?_r=0

• Rev. William Barber, who at the time was the president of the organization’s North Carolina chapter, was removed from a flight after exchanging words with two white passengers.

• Rane Baldwin, who had first class tickets, was moved to the back of a plane while her white friend was permitted to stay up front.

• Tamika Mallory, an activist and co-president of the Women’s March, was removed from a plane after questioning why her seat assignment had been changed.

• Briana Williams, a student at Harvard Law School, was removed from a flight, along with her infant child, after an argument over a stroller.
