 Kelly Price Racially Profiled? (1657 hits)
R&B singer Kelly Price believes she was racially profiled on a recent trip to Mobile, Alabama on her way to perform at the city's "Funk Fest." According to Price, she was waiting to board a flight on United Airways when she encountered a service agent, whom she believed was unprofessional and rude. Price said that instead of serving her for First class, the agent skipped over her to attend to a male, white passenger.

Price tweeted her anger writing: "Stephanie from United Airlines in Houston, Texas is the nastiest agent I've ever come across in my life!!!" "She refused me service today because I refused to get in the back of the other line. She said the line I was in was premier and first class only." Price attests that she was in fact, a first class and premier customer, but the agent assumed otherwise based on her skin color.

Thanks for this Jen, the more we learn how to identify racial profiling the better it will be for A-L-L. (smile)

I am glad she handled it well. I've been profiled not only because of race, but age as well. It's sad, but this is the America we live in. I'm sure this also happens all over the world not just to Black folk but any other folk that's not of European ancestry. If we could gather all these people so that we could share our stories, I'd bet we'd never stop. I'm so very sorry that this happened to Kelly, but I am not surprised.
