  Speaker 1: Well, sexy Ran. Donkey of Today for Friday, June twenty
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: first goes to American Airlines. If you haven't heard, they
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: have recently put several employees on leave after American Airlines
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: was sued by three black New Yorkers who were kicked
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: off a JFK bound flight over a body odor complaint.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I don't told y'all stop playing around in this heat. Okay,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just because your deodorant says it can last for forty
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: eight hours doesn't mean you should test it, all right,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of y'all like to use that stone crystal
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: deodorant and you have to whet the top of the stone,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and then after you wet the stone, you use it,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you put it on. Well, maybe y'all need to put
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: more water on the stone because something not working, something
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: not connecting. But I don't want to victimize the victims here, Okay,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: No matter how much musty people make us feel like
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we're the victim because of their bo Let's not let
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that deflect from the fact that these men were done
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: were done wrong. Okay, Now, apparently there was a group
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of black men on the American Airlines flight and one of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the flight attendants complained of an offensive body oder. Why
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: am I telling you all this story. Let's go to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: CBS News for the report. Please, we're the only ones
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: getting taken off.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: The This video at the center of a newly filed
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: lawsuit against American Airlines appears to show a number of
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: black men after they've been removed from a flight, allegedly
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: due to a complaint about offensive body oders. As flight
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: eight thirty two from Phoenix to New York was finishing
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: boarding in January, American employees removed eight black men from
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: the plane. They were not traveling together, weren't seated next
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: to each other, did not know each other, and appeared
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: to be the only black men on the flight. For
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: plaintiffs Emmanuel Gene, Joseph Alvin Jackson, and Xavier Vial, flight
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: eight thirty two was a connection they'd taken an earlier
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: flight from Los Angeles without issue. The lawsuit claims, over
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: the course of about an hour. The men were kept
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: in the jetway and then moved to the gate area,
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: where they were told they'd be rebooked on another flight
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to New York later that day, and alleges an American
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: employee indicated the complaint about offensive body odor had come
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: from a white male flight attendant, but when another flight
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: to New York couldn't be found, they weren't putting back
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: on the same plane.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Had to go back on the plane with everybody looking
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: at us, you know, very uncomfortable.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I knew that as soon as I get on that plane,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a sea of white faces, we're going to be looking
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at me and blaming me for their late flight of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: an hour. I had to get back on the plane,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: everybody looking at them like they stink.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: My question, why is it only three black people sowing?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: If it was eighty y'all, it should be eight lawsuits.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The pain and suffering that you all went through because
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: somebody labeled you stink. Don't you ever play with me
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like that in your mother f in life? Okay, because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the problem with think people is a lot of times
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they don't even know they stink.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I know you'd be around them and you'd be like,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: stop playing. If I can smell you, you can smell you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But that's not always the case, which is why labeling
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: some when stink when they not is so offensive Because
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: now you got me thinking that I just might smell okay,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: sniffing under my arm, smelling my shirt, trying to figure
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: out is it me who is the keeper of the funk?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Now what's crazy is none of these men knew each other.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You just heard the news report. They were all complete
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: strangers and they were all sitting separately. So this flight
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: attendant singled out these eight passengers, which is even more
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: egregious because if you smelled somebody on the plane and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: then randomly went around the plane just picking people, you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: look stink, You look like you smell. Oh, you definitely spoiled.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Matter of fact, you over there, get your rank ass
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: up too. How you're gonna make all of us get
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: up out of our seats and then get into a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: stink single file line, all because you profiling us for
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: having bodyoda. I wish I would be on a plane
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and someone complained about somebody being stinker, then a flight
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: attendant just randomly assumes it was me. Don't you ever
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: play with me? Like that, and your mother up and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: life and what makes no sense about this story? What
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: makes no sense? You remove me because you said I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: fit the description of someone with bodyoder, but you couldn't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: find them another flight, so you ordered them to reboard.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Now let's just say some of them did smell. Why
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: recycle the funk? You was just gonna put them on
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: another flight and hope nobody's nose was working. See, we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: don't know how to solve problems in this country. If
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I'm on an airline and you removed me for being stink,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are allegedly stink, then you have to offer me a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: free hotel room from old Spice body wash and a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: new flight. You can't just point out the problem and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: then offer me no solution, especially since you then profiled
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: me for being pungent. Now we told you all these
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: people were black, right, Well, I don't know if y
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: aall remember in twenty seventeen, the NAACP warn black travelers
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to avoid American airlines, citing multiple instances of a discrimination,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But clearly y'all didn't listen. Now, the NAACP did lift
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the advisory nearly nine months later, but the fact they
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: had to tell us this in the first place, should
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: be a red flag. Okay, the NAACP told you all
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: American Airlines was foul, but yet you're still riding American Airlines.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Now they calling you foul as in foul smelling. American
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: airl Line CEO Robert Issam said, I am incredibly disappointed
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: by what happened on that flight and the breakdown of
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: our procedures. Well, what is the procedure when somebody stinks
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: on the flight? Robert said? It contradicts our values. We
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: fell short of our commitments and failed our customers in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: this incident. This is terrible because you can't just pick
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and choose who you think is stink Because what if
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: none of them, you know, didn't smell bad, which I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: don't think, which they probably didn't. But what if none
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of them didn't smell bad. But this flight attendant isn't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: used to the smell of shade butter. You know what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Coco Butter. What if he got neo Nazi
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: nostrils and he's simply not used to personal fragrance oils
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that a lot of us beautiful black people wear. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: now listen, okay, we all know from time to time
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: people definitely do stink. But the chances of there being
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: eight stink black people in one space, nah, I don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: think that those chances are too high. Okay, that usually
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: only happens in sports. But the chances of there being eight,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, but eight random black people that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: all got body oder, it's ridiculous for one simple reason.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a black grandmother, black grandmother,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: black father, black aunts, black uncles, Okay, black adults period,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: all preach the same message. Make sure you wash your ass.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We would taught young not to be the stink ass
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: kid in school. So there is no way eight random
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: black people were on the plane stinking at the same
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: damn time. It's just not possible. American Airlines pay these people. Okay,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you're basically called them filthy in front of the world.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Now make them filthy rich. Please give American Airlines the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: You all, oh the day, oh the day?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Ye all right, Nobody, nobody living, nobody gonna tell this
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: nigga that I reported the same.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Story like a week ago, weeks ago.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Nobody he was he was yo hella commentary too, Like
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: he remembered or maybe he don't.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: We well, the well, the update is the CEO released
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the statement yesterday, Jess Hilarius. That's why they're getting Donkey
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Day because they're admitting that they put their they put
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: their employees on leaves, or they're admitting that they did wrong.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: So hopefully this leads to those people that are suing
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: getting paid.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: But I but the question that you said, I still
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: want to know that if it was adaven, why are
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: only three of them suing?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And the partly they didn't even know each other.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: They didn't even know each other. They should be coming
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: together the formal lawsuits.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, Yeah, I don't know.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: They three, the three that are doing they do kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of favor a little bit. But I ain't want to
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: say that because then, you know, I ain't want to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: be on the white side of what they do. Look
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: like you No, but they do kind of favor a
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: little bit though.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: But yeah, all right, well, thank you for the But
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: did they all smell alike? Did they all smell it like?
• 8:10
