“That’s not a bomb in your bag, is it?” the man said, according to the passenger who was not identified by KHOU. ..............................

“The person ahead of us turned around and asked where my boyfriend was from; my boyfriend said it’s none of your business,” the woman told KHOU. “At that point he said all illegals and all foreigners need to leave the country.”

Cellphone footage of the incident shows the man saying all the “illegals” need to kicked off the plane, moments before the man and woman are asked to collect their belongings and exit the aircraft.

“I didn’t say anything,” the man protested, shrugging.

“Get out of here,” a woman responded. “Racists aren’t welcome in America! This is not Trump’s America!”........................

1. Good, about time this happens

[kimbutgar]

2. I hope he gets identified and loses his job

This story and video needs to go viral.

8. Probably doesn't have a job! Looks like a crackhead welfare bum.

Drug test him before he gets anymore food stamps. 😏

9. No....what he did was execrable and I'm not defending it

but tracking people down and getting them fired for something that had nothing to do with his job is wrong, too.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Fantastic.

We need more and more of this, for sure.

Here is the problem, the GOP is going to ignore ALL protests, ALL demands for them to do the right thing.

They can afford to because nobody is going to primary them on the right and the Koch bros will fund them so that nobody else can win.

4. Edmund Burke once said:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Thank goodness more and more "good men" (and women) are doing the opposite of "nothing".

I think (and hope) that the sleeping giant of "good people" has been roused. We remained silent when the Reagans, the Nixons, and the Bushes, did their thing. We watched silently while the GOP gerrymandered, suppressed voters, and the like. We went along to get along. But a line has been crossed. And we are answering with a resounding "Not in MY country". And if the GOP doesn't get the message, they will be swept into the dust bin of history. We WILL take our country back!

"Come Senators and Congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he that has stalled
There's a battle outside and its raging
It will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing."

-Bob Dylan, The times they are a-changing

5. More and more airlines are doing the right thing instead of coddling passengers. Great job!

[flygal]

6. You hear "goodbye racist" and the video ends. Next video screenshot is Kellyanne Conway.

perfect!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Too bad the airline didn't give him a refund and tell him to find another

way to his destination!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

10. Yep. That's what I was thinking.

Behavior like that warrants more than slight inconvenience.

11. SO glad to read this-- we have no place for racists

So glad to hear that "ordinary people" are standing up for what's right

[RowdieTurtle]

12. Turning the tables

“That’s not a bomb in your bag, is it?” the man said, according to the passenger who was not identified by KHOU.

"No, its not., you got one in yours? You look alot like Timothy McVeigh."

American hate groups have committed far more terrorist actions than Muslims or any other type of foreigners. Good to see people are standing up against these maniacs and defending their fellow Americans regardless of race or religion.

It would be nice if the airlines put him on a no-fly list.
