JetBlue Fight Attendant Steven Slater
http://www.theroot.com/multimedia/blackest... Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that Slater is the JetBlue flight attendant who went off on passengers with his expletive-filled swan song, grabbed two beers and slid away, literally. Not only does he get props for acting out every angry black man's "I quit" fantasy, but he also gets props for being tagged a "hero" because of it. This of course is also a black man's fantasy, because we know the outcome could have been very different had Slater been a brother. We're not haters, just observant, and still bestow the blackest-white-man honor on Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant gone dark.
