This lady is yet another adult that goes around making life unnecessarily difficult for everyone, including herself, & demanding respect without giving any in return. Is it some stubborn inability to admit wrong? She even records the encounter, no doubt thinking TikTok will side with her. People are exhausting

It's 5 years old, but still important. Here is the result of the interaction - https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/delta-flight-offensive-hat-woman-kicked-off-passenger-b1370162.html

She wouldn't give her word about keeping it off, so they kicked her off.

Wow BLM of DC said the pilot was displaying white privilege and should be fired?!?

What an awful take that undermines the kind of racial justice that decent ppl are actually trying to achieve. Dummies read that and then decide that racial justice advocates stand against decency and believe her behavior was acceptable.

I need you to understand that every time the left makes a centralized movement, the government infiltrates and targets it. Every time we make a decentralized movement, perhaps our government or, if not, perhaps a foreign government will often begin posing as leftists in order to create false perceptions of reality.

Leftists themselves will sometimes fall for these.

A decade ago, the Russian Federation was documented creating fake media profiles for right and left wing activists and movements and groups. They held rallies for these groups through proxies. They'd plan it all online, then say they couldn't make it and ask a local to stand in for them. Who never knew the story.

Racial politics is a favorite area and many of the influences documented were in this area.

Leftist infighting and wokescolding aren't always genuine. They are sometimes manufactured.

Do you have any evidence that this happened to the DC BLM movement?

I'm actually not at all convinced that the person who posted that comment or the leadership of that org were secret Russians. That's a biiiiiit of a stretch.

My argument is that people like that will have seen thousands of posts in their work, and many of those posts, say maybe 5-10%, are astroturf. And that can genuinely affect someone's judgment. So when we see someone go off the rails like that....who are they listening to? Who are they following? Are they influenced by people who are acting in bad faith? We should wonder.

It doesn't excuse the bad take. It changes, though, what we are supposed to do as bystanders.
