#Roommates, it’s 2017 and this is the BS we’ve still got to deal with because our melanin has certain people feeling some type of way.
In this video that’s gone viral on a social media, a black woman and white child are seen being escorted through the airport by police. The reason? She’s black and the little girl is white.
The woman, who has been identified as Felicia Jackson, is actually a Senior Caseworker for the Department of Family Services and was en route to take the little girl to her father in NY.
The girl’s father was going to meet them at JFK but thanks to a Delta Airlines flight attendant, that never happened.
Felicia’s daughter, Monifah Gaddy, told us that everyone immediately assumed her mother was trying to kidnap the little girl and never even asked what her relationship to the child was.
Instead, the Delta Airlines flight attendant called the police on Felicia and her escorted of the plane. These types of incidents happen far too often and we’re over it!
Roomies, how do you deal with subtle racism?
