Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg and
London.
A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the
matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she
responded.
"You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone
from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this Flight
are taken.
I will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess went away and
then came back a few minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought, there are no
other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to the captain and he
informed me that there is a seat in the business class.
All the same, we still have one place in the first class." Before the woman
could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not usual for our company
to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be
scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting."
She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like
to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class."
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just
witnessed stood up and applauded.

Generally most stories forwarded as e- mails are just fables like the IIT Dean story which appeared in the forum a few months back. There was another one which told of HIV pins in gas stations.
But this story conveys a really good moral.

Wow, my friends must be really slow!
Anyway, in the same email, there was also that story of when Tommy Hilfiger was on Oprah talking about how, had he know that blacks, hispanics, etc. would be wearing his clothes, he wouldn't have made them so nice as he meant for only upper class white people to wear them...after which Oprah threw him off her show!
I never saw that particular episode of Oprah....did it even happen?? Anyone out there see it?
