Doug Parker Flies Southwest Airlines And Gets Into A Conversation About Race
Parker was reading White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism. During the trip the flight attendant sat down next to him, he was in an empty row, and she asked him how the book is. He told her he’s “half way through it’s really good” and that it “points out how important these conversations on race are.” (viewfromthewing.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Outstanding man. And the conversation speaks volumes about good things that can happen through dialog between good people.
I grew up in the Atlanta of the 1950's.
At one time I lived about ten years in a war-zone ghetto.
I have seen all kinds of racism and hatred.
However, I do not buy into the "born into white guilt" manipulation of the American people by the extremely biased corporate mainstream media.
If white Americans are so racist then how did Obama serve TWO terms as President?
After all, black people are about 13% of the population and have been for decades.
In any event the spineless politicians on both sides are not setting a very good example. By turning their heads to all the violence, they are condoning it.
Division of the American people seems to be the goal. The racisism issue is just a helpful catalyst.
What a shame it has come to this.

What happened to talking about Airplane's? When I fly with any airline, I choose my seat by location, don't care who sits next to me.
So, you are are racist by omission I guess......
the doug parkers of the world are not the root causes of the the racial commotion in america. Now he has some new thoughts and the abiity to transmit those enlightened thoughts. So the inch-by-inch improvement in how black folks are treated has an new advocate, one that commands a large audience.
Doug Parker ? the almost of AA and US airways.... not !
No need for that. He's a good man.
