Comment: Unbelievable! Well they picked the right person and not just some everyday average working person. Frenchie make sure you SUE the father; make sure both him & son go to racial sensitivity classes.

Name: Stuckinthe70s
Comment: AMEN!! Git him, Git Alaska! Throw me off the plane after some man up and touched me! Oh man! I applaud you, Frenchie, for keeping your head. Me, would have been a different situation...

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...Could it be, could it be that Frenchie french fries was spread all ovah the dayum seat?....Maybe, just maybe the lil boy couldn't squeeze in...I betcha Frenchie occupied both seats and dared anybody to say anything to her....C'mon ya'll know how Diva's do...She probably gave that lil boy and his father that, that ,that look...That look that says "Whiteboy, you bettah git the fucc out my face 'fore I curse you and yo weak azz daddy out"...That big, Black woman scurred that lil white boy...You can never know what a big, Black woman might day when asked to wake up and move that big azz out the way....Frenchie probably started huffing and puffing, neck rolling, head bobbing...Naw, I don't think so...I hope she sues that he11 outta 'em...

Name: McNasty
Comment: LOL@ChocolateBrownGal! Good one!

Name: TGen
Comment: My first instinct after reading the article was "Of course, throw a press conference, so typical, so tacky." HOWEVER, after thinking about it more, why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't anyone who can garner public attention? If this went down as Frenchie claims, the airlne deserves to be put on blast. Frenchie is not a "super"star so I'm sure they didn't recognize her (honestly, I wouldn't either most likely) and had no idea she had the power to call attention to them like this, lol. But once they find out, watch for the back-pedaling and empty apologies and yes, likely a nice lil settlement. America, Amerikkka...

Name: BlkATLTop
Comment: Frenchie- if this went down the way you say it went down, then find a more credible spokesperson- not Naji Ali- to represent your case. You might have a better outcome.

Name: bigfriend
Comment: A way to get back in the news maybe?? You got to take this story with a grain of salt until at all comes out. As small as planes are these days, I don't want to sit next to a fat azz person regardless of color!

Name: Merd325
Comment: She is about to get paid!! Love it... I pray the witnesses really show up and represent her well.

Name: WordUp
Comment: Absolutely, this is a definite pay day for Frenchie. Those lily white azzholes didn't know she was somebody who could make a public stink over their racist behavior.

Name: andryce76
Comment: bigfriend you sound stupid. she missed her flight and was humiliated. you talking about you don't wan't to sit next to a fat person regardless of color. alright fat and black today. tomorrow it could be i don't wan't to sit next to a black person now get up out of your seat and move. somebody could be sitting next to you on a plane and all of a sudden don't wan't to sit next to you for whatever reason they can think of. so it could be your dumb azz next

Name: mayday
Comment: I hope that she gets PAID! I would sue everybody. Tired of these pank kids thinking they are grown and entitled and this little boy just cost his daddy some big bucks. I would try to press charges for %*$ault and attempted murder.

Name: Gurlfrand
Comment: When will this racism insanity end?

Name: yunvme
Comment: this wouldn't have happened had she just put her arm rest down. She didnt pay for two seats. I fail to see how she will get "paid". Did the airline do something illegal? They kicked her off the plane because of he say/she say. Yeah if the story is correct, they should have asked more questions instead of jumping the gun, but that doesn't mean she will get paid. Even if she sues dude that touched her that is hardly what I would call getting paid. She knows her azz is fat, and should have bought 2 seats. You just cant do what you want to do because you are an idol reject.

Name: WordUp
Comment: I hear you andryce. Frenchie ain't hardly trying to get attention in this case. I believe she was minding her own business on Alaska Airlines and unfortunately had to deal with a redneck boy who learned racist behavior from his redneck pappy!

Name: yunvme
Comment: she aint slick. she thought if she "played" like she was sleep, no one would bother her. Regardless of the jabs I take today- I believe that NO ONE has a right to put their hands on anyone.

Name: BlkATLTop
Comment: yunvme- you may be on to something... i wonder at what point did she fall asleep? after the child called her a fat black woman??? I can't imagine dozing off after hearing something so crazy. I would have addressed that comment right there on the spot before taking a cat nap.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: A little yt boy saying he doesn't want to be near a big black gal is not a reason to sue. The airlines turning the plane around is not a reason to sue. If the flight attendants chose to ignore her words and base their decision to ask her to move solely because of what the father/son said then she may have some sorta case. It seems as if the pilot did the right thing by turning around. Too much shyt happening in the world to chance that. I wouldn't want to sit beside a fat azz person either..white, black, cablasian or whatever. I try my best not too.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: And she must've been very tired. She fell into a deep sleep 25 minutes before the plane was to take off. In fact, she must be narcoleptic(sp).

Name: TGen
Comment: I agree with those who are questioning the legality of the lawsuit, i.e. you don't have a right not to get your feelings hurt. But if there was one-way touching, then there might be an %*$ault claim and depending on the fine print in the airline contract, a good lawyer might be able to prove discrimination (racial, weight, or something else).

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Don't forget about loss of wages...lol...Alaska don't want the bad PR and she got the loot and a good Lawyer would luv this case...get your money Ma...LOL...and she got witnesses to boot.

Name: khufu
Comment: It never ceases to amze me that people (some yall) find these things unbelievable! To me that is the real interesting story

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ....I can't believe what I'm hearing from Mus and yunvme...Are you saying that a fat woman regardless of color has no right to occupy two seats?...Are you saying that Frenchie faked being asleep?...Are you saying she played the diva as well as the racial card?....Hmmmmm, I think all those involved should be required to take counseling and go into rehab...The pilot should lose his dayum license...She should not have been embarrased and manhandled like that....So fuccing what if she occupied 3 dayum seats...She was on American Idol and I'm sure her azz was sleepy after consuming that big azz meal....So why not spread out and take a well deserved nap?...She's Frenchie of AI dammit!

Name: khufu
Comment: the racism expressed by the lil boy......the racism by the parent...the fact that he believes that he can touch a Black person as if they have no rights and the institutional racism by the corporaton....those are the issues for me........and one more......

Name: khufu
Comment: were they any brother's on the flight? See, If I had been a a cracker put they hands on a sistah I would have decked they azz

Name: Angel
Comment: Sorry...but being squished up against a fat azz snoring in my ear is not what I paid for when I fly. If you can't keep your body neatly in the space you paid for with the arm rest down, don't try to fake sleep on me because Imma shake that azz too.

Name: yunvme
Comment: I think I better shut up before the fat police come for me.

Name: khufu
Comment: ANGEL...but what about the "Black" part? YUNV they'd come for your Black azz way b4 they'd come for yo fat azz

Name: Brandon
Comment: IF this happened the way Frenchie said, and IF she can prove it happened the way she said (with eyewitness accounts)... the only one legally liable for anything will be Alaska Airlines. And yes, IF she can prove her case, she'll receive a modest settlement, but it certainly won't be large enough for her to retire on.

Name: yunvme
Comment: khufu- of course there were brothers on the plane. The were going to Alaska with their white women.

Name: HHCassius
Comment: Man, I'd still love to hit that raw in every way possible. That's a whole lotta woman! <ahem> EXCUSE Me! I don't know what came over me...now back to the subject. I'm tired of injustices suffered at the hands of mismanaged little snotnose brats. I say they both got off light that Frenchie didn't put hands on THEM. That's the kind of woman that can throw you around a bedroom. <whew!>

Name: khufu
Comment: YUN or with their Native American women...damn Black women anger/attitudes/bitterness driving brothers to Alaska, huh?

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: If I was a big chick and another woman/dude shaked me violently and was rude about it...plese...some people were raised by wolves...hey Musb...what up but I thought we needed more female singer's like Frenchie but they better not sit next to you on an airplane...lol...you could have done like Tony, Toni, Tone and "Layed Your Head On Those Pillows".

Name: khufu
Comment: HHC%*$ LOL your sense of social justice all mixed up with your lust consciousness huh? LOL I feel you......

Name: yunvme
Comment: aint that a shame. LMAO.

Name: Timolyn
Comment: NIGHT>>>>LOL. I would sue the father, the kid (future income..lol), stewardess, pilot and the airlines. Whoever heard of the pilot coming out to an altercation. This is ludicrous.

Name: khufu
Comment: I wonder if Frenchie were the winner of AI would it have made a difference? Hmmmmmmm

Name: khufu
Comment: DId the pilot have a gun? You know, pilots are armed now....

Name: khufu
Comment: why are there no Black owned airlines? has there ever bneen any?

Name: khufu
Comment: whatever happened to Mo' case with the airline?

Name: yunvme
Comment: Khufu- my brutha my brutha.....have you not seen Soul Plane?

Name: onyxeyes
Comment: it amazes me that some of you have totally ignored the fact that,if this is true, a man felt he has the right to touch her becauses she's in his way. It seem that because she's fat y'all think it's ok for her to be mistreated. Don't forget if you sanction the discrimination of one group, you sanction it for all so the next time someone doesn't want to sit next to your "black %*$" on a plane don't complain.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: And they turned the plane around and booted Frenchie off like she was related to Bin Laden...and peep's act like this is okay with them...Wow!!!! Only in America....

Name: khufu
Comment: ONYX...you think he felt he had that right because she was "fat?" Interesting. I dont think that was it souls sister.brother. I think it was trh Black part.......

Name: khufu
Comment: SOul Plane? No--refuse to. You offer that as a Black owned airline? SHeet---prove it.

Name: yunvme
Comment: I thought it was based on a true story. No? LOL.

Name: Sexee
Comment: Frenchie played it cool. You don't fight "fire with fire" you fight fire with "Water"! The only thing that whites understand is "worth". You hit them in their pockets they fall in line quick. I am glad that it happened to Frenchie and not just any working black woman. She has the power to garner media attention quickly versus someone such as myself.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: I think that it was a combo of being plump, a female, and Black....I would have helped Frenchie out by filming it on my Cell...

Name: khufu
Comment: YUN LOL oh and Im sorry. There are Black owned airlines in Africa. RIght on.

Name: Brandon
Comment: Timolyn> Even if this happened the way Frenchie says, she wouldn't win a lawsuit against the father, because he was within his right to awaken her if she was encroaching on his two seats. She could sue Alaska Airlines, but only for putting her off the plane - there's no way to prove her removal from the flight was a result of race. In order for her to have a discrimination case, she'll have to prove that a White person in the same situation was removed from the plane, or that one of the airline employees made reference to her race upon removal.

Name: khufu
Comment: Black folks should boycott the airline...................................yeah, right.

Name: khufu
Comment: Brandon...nah, physical %*$ault

Name: khufu
Comment: He should not have touched her....he should have called for the airline representative....the steward or stewardess.......

Name: onyxeyes
Comment: Khufu-I don't thin he did because she's fat, I was saying that some people seem to focus on the fat part like that makes it ok or maybe it's easier to digest that way. If she was a slim black woman then they'd have to focus on the "black" part, which is more likely the problem. or as smeone else said the combo of race, size and gender, surely made the "white male" feel superior io her. who knows but it's foul in any case.

Name: khufu
Comment: as a matter of fact, you'd probably be able to get fat people to boycott before Black folks

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Huh...the proper thing is to call a Flight Attendent not to shake someone like a rag doll, that was his bad and the dad will regret this if it goes to Court.

Name: khufu
Comment: got ya ONYX

Name: Cali_Stunner
Comment: Soulmusic101, your reference to Tony, Toni, Toney in your earlier post was hilarious!

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Boot I swear u'z a damn fool LMAO. Angel, and I don't either. That's a whole lotta woman to shake so violently. Maybe he just should've asked her "Do fries go with that shake, shake?" Soul..lol..now u know that ain't got nothing to do with this one cuz you I think her voice ain't nut'n but the truth. Onyx, I've touched people on a plane before if they were seated next to me. I do it while on train everyday if someone's in my way. IF he shook (or was even able to) shake her violently, that's another thing. But, sorry that I don't wanna sit next to a fat person, unruly child (although I sat in front of a kid with hyperactive disorder or whatever's it's called), or someone with bad breath, body odor, woman who's cooty don't smell right etc. Aye, you can "say I'm crazeee, but I really don't care...that's my prerogative" *dancing w/drop-bottom pants on*

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Cali_Stunner...lol...and another thing in the Workplace if a dude touches a Woman without her permission...you know the rest of the story...the Witnesses probably thought that dude was in the wrong. But I will fall back and wait to see how far this goes.

Name: Renetta
Comment: To KHUFU: Does black women’s anger/attitudes/bitterness drive black men away and which of the above mentioned traits is the most offensive?

Name: Brandon
Comment: Khufu> She wouldn't get a judge to agree with physical a.ssault charges, because there's no way to determine how vigorously the man shook her. If she was asleep in his seat, he's within his right to awaken her, and since the amount of force used can't be measured - what's vigorous to you, may not be vigorous to me. She wouldn't win.

Name: Brandon
Comment: Uhmmm, it's none of my business Renetta, but wouldn't any woman's anger, "attitude", and/or bitterness drive most men away (despite their color or race)?

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: All's I wanna know is how her azz feel into a deep sleep so fast. I wonder was she wheezing. You know how big folk do. How long b4 takeoff do they begin boarding planes?

Name: archcookies
Comment: See Racism is not dead it has just changed shapes.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Frenchie needs to add emotional distress to the mix and get a reputable civil rights attorney. The fact that they used the term "big black woman" and humiliated her in front of all those passengers = big money, honey.

Name: TGen
Comment: Brandon, I agree with you mostly, but the settlement part would come from the airlines more to minmize more negative attention than because they were somehow legally liable (depending on the contract they have for their customers of course.) You'd be surprised how quickly corporations want to "settle" public matters like this. That alone is probably the strongest leg Frenchie's lawyer has to stand on...

Name: gingerg
Comment: Black women's attitudes? We just have flavor. Deal with it. Sometimes, people forget that we are human, too, and have feelings, needs, desires, hopes and dreams. Most of the bitter women that I know are unhappy because of poor choices that they made early in life. Today, they are dealing with the consequences of that and making themselves and everyone around them miserable. My maternal grandmother is a prime example of that. She is in her 80's and living in a filthy apartment. She rarely bathes and always has a vile or crass word to say. Earlier in life, she was a beautiful woman, but she was born in the Mississippi delta, couldn't get an education and had several children that she really didn't want. The last one was light skinned and fathered by someone other than my grandfather. She favored him because of that and he has always taken advantage of her. As a result, she is now broke. My grandfather stayed with her because it was the "right" thing to do, but it was not a loving marriage.

Name: yunvme
Comment: The airlines can throw anyone off a plane for any reason- after 911. She aint got no case. She aint a celebrity. A Z-list celeb does not bring national media attention.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: musbdherbs...maybe since she is a Entertainer she could have been tired from working and I have waited as long as 2 hours before take-off, the Person has a right to take a nap no matter what Color, Gender, or Size...I keep trying to get out but they keep pulling me back in...HaHa

Name: leeneepoo
Comment: Sexee>>> you are right on point. When I was reading the article I pictured her napping as soon as she sat down and she heard the boy say those words to her so she decided to go into a deeper sleep. She continued to rest when the dad was violently shaking her thinking as she was half-napping: "I got your a.s.s. now yt and like Sexee said she played that thang as cool as can be and then the pilot is going to turn around and kick her off the plane, why not kick all three of them off the plane why her?? she didn't do or say anything to the little boy or the father. Then the father is going to ask the attendatnts to call security and say that this big black woman is harassing him. His stupid a.s.s. repeated what his son said because the son learned it from his sorry a.s.s. And then the flight attendants does not even listen to her side of the story bu.ll.sh.it.

Name: Brandon
Comment: You're absolutely correct "TGen", that's the same thing I'm saying. There's no case against the father. And there's no case of racial discrimination unless one of the airline employees made reference to her race before removing her from the flight. Legally, a flight crew has the right (and the duty) to eject anyone from a flight whom they determine to be a menace. There has been much dispute about that rule, but so far it's held-up in federal court. But you're right -- it will be in Alaska Airlines best interest to give her $10k-$20k just to go away.

Name: Mas90
Comment: Frenchie, u r a big black person. What is there sue for??? There is zero tolerance law on airlines. If Frenchie got loud and made a scene that's why they threw her off. They wouldn't just throw you off cause you are a big black person. Plus, how is it she fell asleep so quickly within the sentence "Put your arm rest down..."?

Name: onyxeyes
Comment: well musb.. everyone has their prejudices as obviously fat people is yours. fell free to have whatever prejudice you like just remeber that someone doesn't like you for no other reasons than being a black male. That's all I'm saying, in the end everyone can be subjected to someone else unwarrented hatred whether racial, gender, looks, size, etc.

Name: PussnBoots
Comment: She probably ws snoring like a Bear and scared shorty. LOL...Zzzzzzzzz Nah seriously, sue they azz and get the loot.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Umm...the post didn't mention Frenchie acting out MAS90 but since you were on the flight...let's take your word for it...lol..

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: onyxeyes...I was just reading an article how American's have become more isolated from their fellow American's and the only thing peep's they care about is themselves. The majority of peep's don't even know their own neighbor's and don't care about other's civil right's stepped on just as long that it is not them. Some of the post's prove this point.

Name: Mas90
Comment: U wasn't on flight either, negro!

Name: onyxeyes
Comment: Yeah, people don't care about each other at all until something happens to them but if you don't care about anyone why should anyone care about you.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: onyxeyes...Other Countries now see us as The Ugly Americans (no longer a cliche) and say we have lost our way. If this is Democracy, they are now saying we don't want no part of it.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Why folks always got to assume that the black woman got loud? That's a stereotype. I saw Ms. Frenchie is going to get paid because the airline mishandled the situation. If it were me, the would have to start talking at 50k.

Name: Grace
Comment: I understand the seriousness in all of this. I do know that you have kids who are brutally honest. About one or two years ago this boy who looked to be between the ages of 6-10 gon say to me in the supermarket, "Hi fat lady". I couldn't believe that boy would say that. His mother was bigger than me! So, kids are capable of speaking their minds without the parents knowing what's in their minds. In addition to Frenchie being Black and fat, she has breast for days. BTW, I lost weight. I just have to lose inches/pounds in my hips and butt.

Name: Simone
Comment: I think some of you are misunderstanding the situation. From Frenchie's account, she was not in the man or his son's seat. She was seated by the window. The father wanted her to put the arm rest down, I assume to create some separation between her and his son since the boy was complaining about having to sit next to the "big black person". But, IMO, I do believe she may have faked being sleep or if she was sleep, she was not that deep in sleep that she could not hear what was being said. I think she may have faked sleep to pretend she didn't hear the boy's comment to keep from being embarassed. But when the father put his hands on her, she was forced into the situation.

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...From what I gather from this board is that nobody wanna sit by no fat azz woman on a plane...Is that it?...That's really a shame because we as Black folks have suffered many of the same injustices and indignities as fat azz people...Fat people should'nt be discriminated against...They should be allowed the same rights as everybody else...Read the board people, she's been referred to as a snoring bear, AI reject among others...She should be able to rejoice in her fatness as we in our Blackness...and, er, er, We need to support this sistah because it coulda been somebody in our family...and I know everybody on this board has a fat person in their family...He11, some of you might be fat....From now on Imma say Obese...

Name: Mas90
Comment: SOUL, First of all, I said "IF she got loud", I didn't say she did. The entire story is not written. I'm surprised she was alone without her mgr, PR or Asst.

Name: Mas90
Comment: Rejoice in her FATNESS! I've hit da floor and rolling. LOL!

Name: onyxeyes
Comment: Boot i'ts interesting that people who have been victims of so much discrimination can be so callous. I mean what if she wasn't fat, but just a black women. or a black guy as I have seen that with me own eyes, -someone not getting into the elevator because there were 2 brothas in it-. I mean I guess it's ok to discriminate against a group if you don't belng to it but if it's your group you cry foul.

Name: archcookies
Comment: At lot of you are clearly missing the real issue. I bet if that had been a big white lady sitting/sleeping there the little boy would have no problem and generally if there is a conflict between a white and a black the norm is that the white person is suspected as innocent and the black as the trouble maker. Now what we don't know is how Frenchie acted after the encounter if she got loud and threatening then the pilot had the right to return her to the airport. We don't really have enough information to maked a valid judgment on the situation.

Comment: nobody should be disrepected because of their size.

Name: timmdogg
Comment: Some of these people on this board are so stupid! I cannot believe some of you have the audacity to assume this woman has the right to be vilified by remarks, physically %*$aulted and humiliated by the airlines - and to add salt to the wound, she deserved this because she is fat???? I bet if this happened to some of your fat GrandMa's, Aunts, Cousins and Uncles - you all wouldn't be clowing this woman so harshly! I don't care if she weights 450 lbs, no one has the right to %*$ault her and demean her without merit! I hope she sues the hell out of them and make them do a public announcement on treating people of various ethnic backgrounds! Nuff said!

Comment: I have a friend who has severe motion sickness. She goes to sleep before the plane even backs up; this is the only way she can prevent getting sick. I'm looking forward to hearing all the details from all the parties involved to determine my perspective. Don't want to get caught prematurely like the Durham DA in the Duke lacrosse case.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: From the info we have, it was the child not the father did the whole fat black thing. If the father did not act according to that and neither the flight attendants, then I don't see the discrimination unless you mean descrimination in the form of a child. I clearly remember when Monique had accused the airlines of such racism, there weren't a whole lotta people in her corner. Hell, Both of 'em are big. Some of ya'll really got the nerve to be sensitive w/all the jokes and bad-mouthing that goes on this site. I'm sitting here imagining somebody being able to violently shake her azz....lol

Comment: Meant to say "Don't want to get caught UP prematurely..."

Name: mayday
Comment: I don't understand why people are saying that she has no case against the father? No one has the right to put their hands on you period. I am not sure about Canadian law (I believe that she was taking off in Canada) but in the United States......%*$ault can simply be a threat......like someone raising their fist to you without ever touching you. I believe that she clearly has a case against the father and the airline. A woman in Atlanta sued delta airlines and won for embarassing her by pulling a vibrator out of her luggage.......surely Frenchie can get some justice for being humiliated and.%*$aulted.

Name: Train
Comment: Where is the discrimination at?? From what I see from the picture she is a fat, black woman. What part am I missing?? Let's hear from all sides before making a decision because we all know what happened in Durham???

Name: Angel
Comment: Musb - And by her own admission, her azz was practically in a coma up until they woke her azz up, so she has no clue what SHE was doing. Maybe she fell on the boy and drooled all over him. LOL I'm assuming that since the father wanted her to put the arm rest down, he was not able to move it himself because she was in the way...meaning that some of her body parts were not in her seat.....

Comment: Angel, I just wonder what the story will end up being. Will she say "well, I wasn't really sleep, I just lied and pretended that I was." If I overhear some lil boy saying "I don't wanna sit by that black man" I ain't pretending shyt! My eyes are popping open immediately!! So yeah maybe she was able to detect voices while asleep. Something which will not hold up in court. In order to make sense, after she woke up, somone else must've told her what the lil boy said and that the man tried to wake her b4 the azzault. Otherwise, her azz ain't heard shyt.

Comment: I feel if she got put off the plane, than the boy and father should have too. I think there are several areas she can sue and everyone forgetting she was on the flight to go somewhere to do a gig. She never made it, so she lost out. She was unable to make her gig, therefore, unable to get paid. Meanwhile, the father/son stayed on the plane to their destination to do whatever. I have not seen her whole physical appearance only from the chest up, but she looks to me to be 18-20. Well to a size 1, 3, 5, 7 of course she is huge. I am a size 18 and I do not consider myself as a fat woman. I say well proportion...lol Even though I am an 18 I can hang with the 1,3,5,7. I can move just like...just like that...lol REMEMBER, in the words of Monique...."skinny people are evil"

Name: SweetieDarlin
Comment: I don't know why anyone is surprised about the comments made about fat people. Fat is the final frontier of people who be talked about and it's okay cause it's funny. You can talk about anything else and get sympathy even other fat people and former fatties don't have sympathy and feel if you are fat you should be talked about because we all know fat is a sin against man and the world and there is aboslutely nothing a fat person can do to contribute to society period. Acutally I'm more surprised by the amount of people making comments about the possible discrimation aspect. I didn't azzume that Frenchie was so large that she took up two seats, in fact if that was the case more than likely she would have been told she had to purchase two seats, there are large people who can fit in one seat you know. Personally I feel that Frenchie should have put down the armrest as soon as she sat down, that's what I always do when flying, it creates at 'barrier' for each person's personal space and that should have solved the problem or at least it would have been clear cut that it was discimination. At any rate, regardless if one thought their personl space was being violated, it doesn't give you the right to call someone out of their name or put your hands on someone. The kid was rude but no doubt he learned it from his father. This should be interest to watch, seems like there is a higher incident of rudeness on airlines than ever before especially against blacks (remember Monique) then again it could be a pattern, Frenchie, Monique you know all big black women are loud and rowdy (thin women never are, have you noticed that, all thin women are nice, pleasant and always have good attitudes, the fat ones on the other hand...) so automatically we actually should azzume the worse (LOL)

You called me fruitcake and cissyfied tweety bird but I don't act feminine, don't wear women clothing/dress drag, wear make-up, any of those stereotypes that ignorant people think gay folks are. I am masculine, built muscular body, i don't go to clubs or gay prides, etc. my friends aren't queens and we don't talk using words like darling, honey, child... as if we were women. DOn't get it twisted. Timolyn admitted she was a size 18. So whynotme u r wrong but nice try.

Stopbeing..now you know u need to stop being ignant...lol Maybe Arbys can give her the Lifetime award like Burger King gave Jennifer..lol Timolyn, I've seen her but don't know how to judge her size but she is a big gal. She's nowhere near grotesquely huge tho. Anything over a 10 is too big for me so don't listen to my bias..lol Ginger, I hadn't heard that but her statement is debatable. Some of us do use it in an endearing way.

Comment: And Alaska is supposed to be one of the better airlines. I'm surprised that Alaska didn't immediately give her free first class voucher good for the rest of the year to keep this quiet and to keep her as a customer. I complained about some delays and customer service issues on United and they responded quickly with a $100 off voucher. The airlines are gripping right now over delays and poor customer service and folks are starting to discover that for short trips that it's quicker and less stressful to drive, or rent a limo or luxury bus if you're a celeb. Alaska better make good on this if they want to avoid a mountain of negative publicity.

Comment: yunvme - So that if you are an international traveler (like myself) and you possibly frequent Alaska Airlines maybe (just maybe) you want to ask them to address the claim and its validity. Notice the reminder I gave to intelligently voice your concerns. I've already sent my email asking them to address this claim. If I receive a response, I will share.

Name: gingerg
Comment: There you go, khufu - robust. We got names for everything (i.e., healthy, thick, big girls, etc.). People are starting to realize that being obese is not cute. There's nothing wrong with curves, but when you consider the disproportionate number of black people with hypertension, diabetes, kidney problems, depression, etc. and look at their lifestyles, you have to wonder. By the way, I agree that rail thin isn't cute either. A person has to find what works for him/her. And it is not all in the looks. How you FEEL matters most. I'm just tired of seeing sisters waddling away from vending machines with Pepsis and cupcakes in the hands.

Comment: WHYNOTME... are you over weight? I have feeling that you just might be. One thing I do know that you can change your weight but you can't change being gay. So don't try to continue to compare the two. FAT people need to lose the weight. Is is very unhealthy! Everyone needs to go to the gym and lift weights. Even skinny people. I was once skinny but I put some good size of muscle on my frame and I look good. High blood pressure runs in my immediately family. My parents and siblings all have high blood pressure except me. One reason I don't have is because I'm childless and I don't have a wife! I'm glad I don't have to come home to all that nagging.

Comment: Ok I'm back and seems like I need to defend myself. First of all thanks WHYN. Secondly, MAS90 I AM NOT IN DENIAL....LET ME REPEAT I AM FAR FROM BEING IN DENIAL. My chest is not as big as hers and as I said I have only seen her physical appearance from the chest up. I have "fat" friends and I'm not as heavy as her or them. You can be a size 18 and not be "fat". I get much rhythm. I've never been a skinny person and will never be. What is average a size 10, by who standards society? I have high blood pressure too that is very much under control. Even if I was a size 10, I will still have high blood pressure providing it runs very heavily on both parents side of the family. I have Aunties that are size 6, 8 and 10 and they all still have high blood pressure. So MAS90 since I just found out you are gay. My statement early per Monique... Skinny women are evil. That is something you should recognize.

Comment: Mas90 I have a question. Is there a stigma with being a reciever vs a pitcher? I have noticed when I would read different fiction etc some would say they only pitch. I know some dl think that since they are pitchers that are not really in the family. Of course that is ludicrous!!!!

Comment: Khufu, you are on point today!! The mere fact that even in 2007, a white man feels like he just put his hands on a person of color to get his way is insane. And true to form, those bastards will lie in a minute to get their azzes out of a jam. I would love to have been on that plane! I would have slapped the shyt outta the brat and the pops. They would still be taking my foot outta somebody's azz right now.

Comment: TIMOLYN... u stupid bytch. Don't nobody has to have high blood pressure! As I have stated earlier my entire immedaitely family has it expcet me. WHY??? Cause I workout, eat healthy, i don't have drama in my life, no kids, no nagging asss females! Ur stupid to think that even at a lesser weight you still have to have high blood pressure. U R STUPID! Girl take yo fat 18 size asss to a gym TODAY! Ur nothing but a child. 18yrs old and don't know nothing. Who cares if average size is 10 for females that doesn't mean ur still healthy. There are short people and tall people. You can 5'1" and size 10 and be FAT! U stupid! I don't recognize skinny women are evil because i am a man, dumb 18yr old. It's woman like you who continue to think just because my parents have this issue I'm suppose to live with it too! STUPID STUPID STUPID! Frenchie needs to lose weight too! Mo'nique, Aretha Franklin, many others need to lose weight. Look at Oprah! She is a prime example of a black woman who took charge! R U looking u stupid girl. Oprah kept trying and trying! Once you start lifting weights you can't stop!!!! It is a must! Mo'nique continues to talk that being FAT is great because she has to make a living and she found a niche where u stupid females support her. Mo'nique is using you fools!

Comment: Hold it down Timolyn! Thank you KHUFU. I understand the health risks for being overweight but again doesn't mean people get to say nasty ish about larger people. Now I ain't gonna say skinny women are evil cause I don't believe in any stereotypes but the main thing is excercise. There are thin women who are out of shape because they do not excercise or eat poorly. Poor nutrition is poor nutrition. Monique while I don't like her methods was trying to at least have big girls understand that you can be attractive and large. That doesn't mean you are supposed to be outsize but more of whatever you size you are supposed to make sure that you look as good a possible. Too many times larer women were not doing anything to enhance the looks that they had, often they felt that they were fat so why even try, they were wearing big clothes, trying not to be fashionable and pretty much putting their life on hold until the magical time when they sudddenly lost weight and all was well with the world. Unfortunately that doesn't happen that often so you have depressed cause they are overweight, then eating because they were depressed, so they got bigger, a nasty cycle to break. If you have self esteem you more than likely will do more to take care of yourself including excercising and trying to do better at food choices (some big chicks are even afraid to go to the gym because they think they'll be laughed at.) Many people with naturally high metabolisms eat all kinds of ish and don't gain weight so no one cares that they are often eating the same bad things as bigger people (believe me there are four chicks at my job that eat McDonald's all day long, never gain a pound and God Bless them but if everyone had a metabolism like that, we would eat the world and there would be more hunger) Again the main key is good diet and excercise FOR EVERYBODY. Anyway off of my soap box.

Comment: What in the world is going on w/EUR, now you have homos coming on here bashing folks. WTF? Some people are gentically predisposed to diseases but it does not mean that each person will end up w/it. At the same, while exercise and good eating are good preventative measures, they do not guarantee that you will not physically inherit it. There is no guarantee for that. Some children are diagnosed diabetic way in their early years when exercise/eating matters less.

Comment: So I have a question, has anyone seen those Chuck Norris "Total Gym" machines? Would something like that be as effective as traditional strength training? Since we're talking about weight and fitness, I think it's a valid question. Some people may simply not know what to do in a gym (self not included).

Comment: FvCK ya'll! name callers as well. Never asked for support from none of ya'll. I take care of myself. Most ya'll generalize gays as all the same. It always come out and you wonder why peeps don't tell anyone that they are gay. So if you keep pushing that type of BS in society you'll get more gays who are on the low profile. Tiedie, on this board you can't maintain haramony on here. I stand alone on this board. Oh I was tough on Tim... shyt what do I deal with this. I bring different flavor and I still get cut down. Just a reflection of what outside of my windows. #1 reason I don't extend myself out to having str8 freinds too much cause they think you wanna sleep with them immediately or they think less of you. Even so-called friends I've know for years act immature. I never came on this board looking for support cause I can handle my own. Timolyn needed to hear that high blood pressure is not a life long disease she has to deal with. You have to change your lifestyle. I know! Yeah I put people on blast become I deal with it on here as well. I deal with your comments as you say I was playing.... "pillow biters, fa99ot, etc." which I'm none of. GINGERG, woman are not any competition to me cause I don't deal with bi men. Waste of time. I don't play games like that. I never had a problem with trying to find someone. I was always on the choosing side where I can pick who I want. That's how good I look. I come on this board and talk about the subject and it always turns to something gay. I become for 411 for all ya which have someone gay in your family. Why don't you go to them? Afraid? Think they gonna try to sleep with you? I know how most of you str8 think! I grew up in a house full of them. Most of the time I'm surrounded with str8. How I know, gaydar. Yes it does work. Just as you as str8 feel attraction to the opposite sex I can feel out someone of the same sex. But anyway, deep down I glad I'm gay cause I don't have to worry about getting married, having kids, etc. My only responsiblilty is me which I go after my dreams and goals. It's one of the best things to have only you to think of. If I want someone special in my life, I let them in but if it ain't working I give them da boot wit the quickness! :-) But anyway, live your life. PEACE!
