Will.i.am. called Qantas flight attendant racist, airline will back her if she sues him

[schumi]

Australian airline Qantas Airways said it will support a flight attendant if she chooses to sue musician Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, who called her racist on Twitter and posted her name and photograph.

“Absent a retraction, and if the crew member wanted to take the matter further, we’d certainly be willing to provide legal support for them to do this,” a spokeswoman said.

Will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, said in a series of tweets he was on a flight Friday from Brisbane to Sydney while on his Australian tour when he and his group encountered an "overly aggressive flight attendant."

Will.i.am said he did not want to believe she was racist, but she "clearly aimed all her frustrations only at the people of colour."

He said the flight attendant requested federal police officers meet him at the gate when he landed because he did not stow his laptop before landing. He said he could not hear the announcement instructing him to stow the device because he was wearing noise-canceling headphones but that he "quickly and politely" complied when asked, only to be greeted by police.

Watch Australian dash cam owners compilations on youtube - pure comedy. Nothing like an ozzie losing it with words. I think the boertjies may even have some competition.

What a tosser, if you are over 10 years old and have flown twice in the last 5 years you will know when you can and can't use your laptop on a flight.

Ofcourse it cant be that the attendant directed her encouragement to follow safety rules to those who were breaking the rules .........no it must be racism .....

Sad that successful black people still feel inadequate in their lives that when faced with a challenge or reprimand they use the race card.
