Please don't compare this to the civil rights movement. Police brutality is not a good thing, but the injustices that started that movement were orders of magnitude greater.
- hedora 10y agoHave you been paying attention to how muslims (including US citizens) are being treated on planes and in airports? What about the security apparatus that underpins the no fly list and is feeding this comment into your "is this a terrorist" machine learning profile? What about the idea that corporations (like private prisons) sometimes have the right to completely ignore due process? Please stop acting like everything is OK and this is not about civil rights.
- soVeryTired 10y agoThis isn't a case of a man being refused the right to fly because he is muslim. The guy was chosen at random. There are plenty of recent incidents that could reasonably be compared to rosa parks refusing to move from the front of the bus, but this isn't one of them.
