I think a lot of people replace a true idea with a nearby but entirely false idea when discussing positive social media impact: (True) There are a variety of problems that cannot be solved by a lot of people online agreeing it's a problem. (False) Social media can't really change anything important.

It's a three-way tie for last as to which airline treats its Africa-bound passengers the worst: Air France, Brussels Airlines, and KLM. Have flown all three, of course on their oldest aircraft, and my god how do they stay in business at such astronomical prices with such horrible service. 1/

I think everybody needs to pay attention to Wagatwe's travels. And if she's in Europe, everyone needs to observe how racist Europeans are, & lose all your illusions they're anything otherwise.

Amsterdam is not as bad as Paris but if you look closely....yeah.... the segregation and sudden drop quality is there.

after they scan your boarding pass you go on this janky hot bus full of people with like no seats and the driver badly drives to like the outskirts of the airport where we have to board the plane on an outdoor stairway.

after hours of delays, we now are waiting more because these jerks lost a disabled passenger. I honestly have no idea how they're gonna get here bc the boarding process is the worst I've ever experienced.

yeah the caveats feel inadequate. I feel like people say them, but they aren't really engaged with in a way that challenges most people's belief in US exceptionalism or other supremacist ideology
