Three Black men have filed a federal lawsuit against American Airlines, alleging race discrimination after being temporarily removed from a flight from Phoenix, Arizona, to New York City on January 5. The lawsuit claims that the men, along with five other Black male passengers, were ordered off the plane following a complaint from a white flight attendant about a passenger's body odor. The plaintiffs, Jean Joseph, Alvin Jackson, and Xavier Veal, argue that the complaint was false and that their removal was an act of blatant and egregious race discrimination. The lawsuit, filed in Brooklyn federal court, accuses American Airlines of violating a Civil War-era law banning race discrimination in contracts.

First American Airlines blamed a 9 yo child for being filmed by its pervert crew. And now they kicked out 8 Black Men for being smelly. Neither of men knew each other, and were seated in different corners of the plane. Very-very bad PR!! I think $AAL headed to $2.
