If you have ever stood beside me as I worked the ticket counter or the gates for an airline and heard how many times I have had the race card thrown at me by black passengers you'd be appalled. I have been called a racist, bigot, and a sorry excuse for a human being.
I had a passenger come back down to the counter that was angry because she didn't get on the first flight of the morning and called me a racist mother fucking son of a bitch. I have been accused of being a racist when a passenger showed up two minutes before departure and I told him he had to be rebooked. He told me he knew this was Virginia and black men didn't fare well in this state but he wasn't the one. He almost became violent because I was enforcing a policy. Black can be just as prejudice and racist as any other race. I have felt the sting of racial hatred from passengers for 30 years.
