A man’s revenge against a racist white woman is the trending topic on social media regarding the case of Emmet Walker.
One of the worst places to meet weird psychotic people is an airport. Given the fact that an airport is a public transit area, still, you are most likely to come across the weirdest sort at airports, aggressive passengers, unruly passengers, people who feel they should be given the utmost preference, the loudmouthed or inconsiderate type and worst of the entire racist. When it comes to boarding a plane, some people it is their God-given right to act all high and mighty.
There are quite a number of people who think that just because they are going to an expensive exotic destination, they should be treated with special privileges. What many don’t understand is that waiting in a queue to be frisked for security is irritating to almost everyone, yet it is part of the procedure and must be complied with.
1 What was an E-class passenger doing in the business class line?

It is every travelers desire to experience a smooth journey while in transit be it on the plane or off it. And while many of us may settle for economy, there are those who can afford a business class or a priority ticket that enables one to skip queues while boarding a plane, well kudos to them. But!! Just because you can afford a luxury ticket doesn’t mean that the others should be consider lesser mortals of some sort.
You may be a luxury flier, you may carry a briefcase and wear a swanky suit and you may be carrying the latest iPhone so big deal. But when Emmit EClass Walker was observed standing in the priority class queue, he kind of looked out of place. How on earth did this 27 year old man get there, well!! It’s simple; he had a business class ticket. Yet some people decided to voice their opinion. How dare this man stand in a priority business class line?

2 Racism at its best

There was Emmet wearing a hooded sweatshirt looking very much out of place in a business class queue. But, there was much more in store for Emmit and that was a mean racist white lady planning to accost him for standing there.
You see, what we forgot to mention was the fact that Emmet was black!! This is what got the goat of a white racist woman whose Ku Klux Klan mentality rose out from within her and like a pig headed crude human being, she tried to play him down and get him to move from there.
The woman decided to make an assumption based on his skin color that just because he was black, he shouldn’t be there. What a hag!! The blonde woman went up to Emmet and spoke, “Excuse me, I believe you may be in the place you need to let us thru. This line is for priority boarding.” Imagine the audacity, just because the man was black, he did not reserve the right to be there.

3 She just couldn’t shut her trap

Emmet of course was in the least bothered. He too was living in a civilized world where racism although less than before does exist and once in a way it rears up its ugly head just like this woman. Emmit, who works as a music executive, casually replied. “Priority meaning first class correct?”
Perhaps this wasn’t the first time Emmit may have faced racial discrimination and so being no stranger to it, he was up and ready with full guns blazing to deliver a shut -your –face type of reply that instantly shut the woman up permanently.
The woman spoke “Yes… now excuse me they will call y’all after we board,”. Passengers in the same queue at Ronald Reagan airport stood watching in disbelief at a scene that seemed right out of the fifties era of segregation. But do you know what Emmit did?

4 And so he decided to shut her up for good

Emmit Walker coolly held up his boarding class which was a first class ticket and shoved it right in her face. He then calmly said “You can relax m’am I’m in the right spot, been here longer, so you can board after me,”
At that moment, Emmit felt a surge of satisfaction and self-esteem surging through him because it’s not every day that you get to shut up a crude racist pig in such a fashion. But! You think the woman was satisfied? No, she persisted now using a different angle. After all people like her can tend to be adamant once they set their mind on something failing which would be a huge dent on their ego.
She actually began addressing people around her saying “He must be military or something, but we paid for our seats so he still should have to wait,” What this egoistic woman failed to realize was the fact that Emmit paid for his ticket but she couldn’t bring herself to even believe that he could do so, For her, if a black is in a first class line, then it most probably means he got his ticket free!!

5 Huge crowd support

But Emmet was on fire now; of course he wasn’t aggressive or out of control, but his calm replies delivered an even stronger punch. He turned to face the woman and standing proud declared.
“NOPE TOO BIG TO EVER BE IN ANYBODY’S MILITARY. I’M JUST A N*GGA WITH MONEY (SIC).”
That sentence instigated a dramatic response from the crowd who actually started clapping for him. It was like way to go Emmet, you show her man! And Emmet certainly did. He actually shut her down.

6 Say No to racism, be like Emmet

Emmit mighty proud of himself decided to share the story no social media and Facebook, It immediately went viral where every user reading his story on Facebook praised his reaction and his fight against racism. Emmit’s post attracted 650,000 likes on Facebook and is still growing.
His post invited several comments in favor of his actions where some wrote “This is the world we live in sad… THIS IS A #HUMANPROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW,”
This man’s revenge against the racist woman was classic. Racism although not as rampant as a few decades ago is still an issue in the USA and across the world. The fact that we differentiate in terms of color is ridiculous. Maybe Emmits story will help create awareness in some way because there are hundreds of Emmit Walkers out there facing the same thing.
