All I said was Bomb..

You know the old saying, “If it looks and talks like a duck, then it’s a duck. ” right. Well I feel that this is a prime example of it in a similar way.

I know that racial profiling isn’t a nice thing to do,but if it actually saves lives and offends a group of people, then I say, “Suck it up!”

If it was a mistake, then let the people make a personal apology. The need to go on national television and announce to the world that you were singled out simply because that you fit into a category of people that are known to like to blow the shit out of things is un-necessary. The comment they made about the airline blowing it out of proportion really got me thinking of just how they are doing the same by going on national television to whine about being booted off the plane for having a conversation everybody and their dog knows that you shouldn’t be having on an airplane. The news video had one of the family members quoting what she said, “That is the best place to sit on an airplane, when a bomb goes off.” and several eyewitnesses confirmed what was said.

A Muslim family that was ordered off an AirTran Airways flight on New Year’s Day received an apology and refund on Friday from the airline, which said its decision to bar the passengers was necessary.




I’m sure if it were any other  person that wasn’t a Muslim they would have received the boot also. You just don’t talk about bombs while your boarding an airplane. It is just plain fucking common sense!

The fact that your ARE Muslim also would get me wondering also, because like I said before, “Some of your people are known for liking to blow the shit out of things and killing people.”

Yes, it’s unfortunate. But it’s the world we live in that makes people a little more on edge and if it means offending somebody, and saving a lot of lives from a potential tragedy, then so be it.

I know if I had my ass dragged into a police lineup because I wear a goatee, I would understand that somebody wearing a goatee was going to get some metal bracelets for some reason, but I have no reason to worry, because I didn’t do anything wrong. I was profiled, I helped catch a criminal, I was detained and it would have been an inconvenience, but I would still get over it.

This is just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.
