Speaker 1: Well, sexy Ran. Donkey of Today for Friday, June twenty

9
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: first goes to American Airlines. If you haven't heard, they

10
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: have recently put several employees on leave after American Airlines

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: was sued by three black New Yorkers who were kicked

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: off a JFK bound flight over a body odor complaint.

13
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't told y'all stop playing around in this heat. Okay,

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: just because your deodorant says it can last for forty

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: eight hours doesn't mean you should test it, all right,

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: A lot of y'all like to use that stone crystal

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: deodorant and you have to whet the top of the stone,

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: and then after you wet the stone, you use it,

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: you put it on. Well, maybe y'all need to put

20
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: more water on the stone because something not working, something

21
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: not connecting. But I don't want to victimize the victims here, Okay,

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: No matter how much musty people make us feel like

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: we're the victim because of their bo Let's not let

24
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: that deflect from the fact that these men were done

25
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: were done wrong. Okay, Now, apparently there was a group

26
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: of black men on the American Airlines flight and one of

27
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: the flight attendants complained of an offensive body oder. Why

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: am I telling you all this story. Let's go to

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: CBS News for the report. Please, we're the only ones

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: getting taken off.

31
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 5: The This video at the center of a newly filed

32
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 5: lawsuit against American Airlines appears to show a number of

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: black men after they've been removed from a flight, allegedly

34
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 5: due to a complaint about offensive body oders. As flight

35
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 5: eight thirty two from Phoenix to New York was finishing

36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: boarding in January, American employees removed eight black men from

37
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 5: the plane. They were not traveling together, weren't seated next

38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: to each other, did not know each other, and appeared

39
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 5: to be the only black men on the flight. For

40
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 5: plaintiffs Emmanuel Gene, Joseph Alvin Jackson, and Xavier Vial, flight

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 5: eight thirty two was a connection they'd taken an earlier

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: flight from Los Angeles without issue. The lawsuit claims, over

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: the course of about an hour. The men were kept

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: in the jetway and then moved to the gate area,

45
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 5: where they were told they'd be rebooked on another flight

46
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 5: to New York later that day, and alleges an American

47
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: employee indicated the complaint about offensive body odor had come

48
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: from a white male flight attendant, but when another flight

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: to New York couldn't be found, they weren't putting back

50
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: on the same plane.

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: Had to go back on the plane with everybody looking

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 4: at us, you know, very uncomfortable.

53
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: I knew that as soon as I get on that plane,

54
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: a sea of white faces, we're going to be looking

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: at me and blaming me for their late flight of

56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: an hour. I had to get back on the plane,

57
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: everybody looking at them like they stink.

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 2: Okay.

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: My question, why is it only three black people sowing?

60
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: If it was eighty y'all, it should be eight lawsuits.

61
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: The pain and suffering that you all went through because

62
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: somebody labeled you stink. Don't you ever play with me

63
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: like that in your mother f in life? Okay, because

64
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: the problem with think people is a lot of times

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: they don't even know they stink.

66
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

67
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: I know you'd be around them and you'd be like,

68
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: stop playing. If I can smell you, you can smell you.

69
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: But that's not always the case, which is why labeling

70
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: some when stink when they not is so offensive Because

71
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: now you got me thinking that I just might smell okay,

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: sniffing under my arm, smelling my shirt, trying to figure

73
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: out is it me who is the keeper of the funk?

74
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Now what's crazy is none of these men knew each other.

75
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: You just heard the news report. They were all complete

76
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: strangers and they were all sitting separately. So this flight

77
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: attendant singled out these eight passengers, which is even more

78
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: egregious because if you smelled somebody on the plane and

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: then randomly went around the plane just picking people, you

80
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: look stink, You look like you smell. Oh, you definitely spoiled.

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you over there, get your rank ass

82
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: up too. How you're gonna make all of us get

83
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: up out of our seats and then get into a

84
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: stink single file line, all because you profiling us for

85
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: having bodyoda. I wish I would be on a plane

86
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: and someone complained about somebody being stinker, then a flight

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: attendant just randomly assumes it was me. Don't you ever

88
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: play with me? Like that, and your mother up and

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: life and what makes no sense about this story? What

90
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: makes no sense? You remove me because you said I

91
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: fit the description of someone with bodyoder, but you couldn't

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: find them another flight, so you ordered them to reboard.

93
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Now let's just say some of them did smell. Why

94
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: recycle the funk? You was just gonna put them on

95
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: another flight and hope nobody's nose was working. See, we

96
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: don't know how to solve problems in this country. If

97
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm on an airline and you removed me for being stink,

98
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: are allegedly stink, then you have to offer me a

99
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: free hotel room from old Spice body wash and a

100
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: new flight. You can't just point out the problem and

101
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: then offer me no solution, especially since you then profiled

102
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: me for being pungent. Now we told you all these

103
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: people were black, right, Well, I don't know if y

104
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: aall remember in twenty seventeen, the NAACP warn black travelers

105
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: to avoid American airlines, citing multiple instances of a discrimination,

106
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: But clearly y'all didn't listen. Now, the NAACP did lift

107
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the advisory nearly nine months later, but the fact they

108
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: had to tell us this in the first place, should

109
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: be a red flag. Okay, the NAACP told you all

110
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: American Airlines was foul, but yet you're still riding American Airlines.

111
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Now they calling you foul as in foul smelling. American

112
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: airl Line CEO Robert Issam said, I am incredibly disappointed

113
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: by what happened on that flight and the breakdown of

114
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: our procedures. Well, what is the procedure when somebody stinks

115
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: on the flight? Robert said? It contradicts our values. We

116
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: fell short of our commitments and failed our customers in

117
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: this incident. This is terrible because you can't just pick

118
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: and choose who you think is stink Because what if

119
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: none of them, you know, didn't smell bad, which I

120
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: don't think, which they probably didn't. But what if none

121
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,119
Speaker 1: of them didn't smell bad. But this flight attendant isn't

122
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: used to the smell of shade butter. You know what

123
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Coco Butter. What if he got neo Nazi

124
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: nostrils and he's simply not used to personal fragrance oils

125
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: that a lot of us beautiful black people wear. And

126
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 1: now listen, okay, we all know from time to time

127
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: people definitely do stink. But the chances of there being

128
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: eight stink black people in one space, nah, I don't

129
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: think that those chances are too high. Okay, that usually

130
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: only happens in sports. But the chances of there being eight,

131
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: not one, not two, but eight random black people that

132
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: all got body oder, it's ridiculous for one simple reason.

133
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a black grandmother, black grandmother,

134
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: black father, black aunts, black uncles, Okay, black adults period,

135
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: all preach the same message. Make sure you wash your ass.

136
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

137
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: We would taught young not to be the stink ass

138
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: kid in school. So there is no way eight random

139
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: black people were on the plane stinking at the same

140
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: damn time. It's just not possible. American Airlines pay these people. Okay,

141
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: you're basically called them filthy in front of the world.

142
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Now make them filthy rich. Please give American Airlines the

143
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

144
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: You all, oh the day, oh the day?

145
00:06:53,279 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: Ye all right, Nobody, nobody living, nobody gonna tell this

146
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: nigga that I reported the same.

147
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: Story like a week ago, weeks ago.

148
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.

149
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: Nobody he was he was yo hella commentary too, Like

150
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: he remembered or maybe he don't.

151
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: We well, the well, the update is the CEO released

152
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the statement yesterday, Jess Hilarius. That's why they're getting Donkey

153
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Day because they're admitting that they put their they put

154
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: their employees on leaves, or they're admitting that they did wrong.

155
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: So hopefully this leads to those people that are suing

156
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: getting paid.

157
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

158
