You would think that bigotry would be a thing of the past in the 21st century and that even those who still hold firm to it would at least try to pretend or conceal it. Well, some people continue to show it in the most dramatic way ... and fortunately, some others know exactly how to deal with it.

This story taken off FACEBOOK is worth reading:
A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man.
Yes, there is still hope!
Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat.
The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The fight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class."
About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class."
Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person."
According to FACEBOOK passengers in the seats nearby applauded the move; others gave a standing ovation.
Yes, there is still hope!
