While on a flight to visit a friend in Tampa there was an African American man maneuvering bags in the overhead bin, well while hw was in there doing whatever, he touched the bags of an older white couple. The lady proceeded to scream to her husband “ Sam he is touching our bags, what the hell is he doing, do something” One would believe the tone in her voice is that of urgency like someone was taking her bags off the plane and she was never to see them again. Also she could have just been one of those people who doesn’t like her stuff touched. As I told this story the different comments I got varied, mostly laughter, that is until I pulled in race. Then it got serious, so it made me wonder even today after all the equality and more does race still plays a bigger issue in the scheme of things?
