The following scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesburg and London.
This is a true story ::
A White woman, about 55 years old, was seated next to a Black man. Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.
'Madam what is the matter,' the Hostess asked.
'You obviously do not see it then?'
she responded. 'You placed me next to a Black man. I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.'
'Be calm please, the Hostess replied. 'Almost all the seats
on this flight are taken. I will go to see if another seat is available.'
The Hostess went away and came back a few minutes later. 'Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats in Economy class. I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there are also no seats in the Business class. All the same, we still have one seat in First class.'
Before the woman could reply, the Hostess continued: 'It is unusual for our company to permit someone from Economy class to sit in First class.
However, given the circumstances, the Captain feels that it would be
scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting.'
She turned to the Black man and said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to,please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in First class.'
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

3 Kids Fishing
Barack Obama was out jogging one morning along the parkway when he tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to him, 3 kids who were fishing pulled him out of the water. He was so grateful he offered the kids whatever they wanted.
The first kid said, 'I want to go to Disneyland ' Barack said, 'No problem, I'll take you there on my special Senator's airplane.
The second kid said, 'I want a new pair of Nike Air Jordan shoes. Barack said, 'I'll get them for you and even have Michael Jordan sign them!'
The third kid said, ' I want a motorized wheelchair with a built in TV and stereo headset!'
Barack was a little perplexed by this and said, 'But you don't look like you're handicapped.'
The kid said, 'I will be after my dad finds out I saved your ass from drowning!'

An elderly woman took a package to the post office to mail and was told it would cost $3.95 for fast delivery or $2.30 for slower service.
"There is no hurry," she told the clerk, "just so the package is delivered in my lifetime."
He glanced at her and said, "That will be $3.95, please."

The middle joke I heard with Bush not Obama in it years ago ....that was rewritten.
Thanks.
And for an earlier poster: who SAID the white woman was British? She was travelling FROM South Africa - and the odds are pretty high that, if the story WAS true, she'd be a Seffrican (South African) white,not British, especially displaying that attitude. It was the BRITISH airline which offered to upgrade the african man...
Hmmm, I can't bear prejudice, wherever it comes from!
