Shut that **** up


I disagree with the notion that its harmful to "real instances" because any/every instance should be outrage

Well that's a stupid opinion you have. There were plenty of people who were outraged and protested when the alleged Albany bus attack against black female students occurred, but few months later it turned out the entire thing was a hoax done for attention. You are kidding yourself if you think that the same number of people will go out and protest again when a similar attack ACTUALLY occurs in that city, because there will definitely be people who don't want to be fooled again. Hoaxes can convert people who are sympathetic to injustice to people that say "let me wait for the facts to come out first before having a reaction and wasting my time and energy". You are either playing dumb or have no idea how the human brain works.

I said this before...but most of the people in this thread never heard of Adam Salah before this incident. This guy is most likely irrelevant in our lives. HOWEVER, he's now a national story. Folks' curiosity will be piqued and as a result, they'll go on his YT page, watch his vids, and subsequently with the views/clicks, he'll (Salah) profit. In his world, selling out folks who are actually struggling with discrimination on a daily basis, is profitable. This is a MAJOR problem to me. I got zero respect for him, let alone anyone, who will chose to exploit others for their own personal gain. This was a sham from the get-go, and seriously...screw this guy.

All of this. Call me ignorant because I haven't read through this thread until now, but if there are people here defending the YTer :stoneface: .

I had no clue who he was prior to the video, and when I found out he was a prankster, I called b.s. on him being victimized.
 
Think of the bigger picture, bro.

Things in this nation are as tense as they've been in a long time. It doesn't take much for someone to voice their displeasure or pop off. Seeing now WHO is going to be president and WHO he's selected to lead his team, has a lot of folks (for good reason) worried. You're going to see more arguments in public places and folks not taking any **** due to how things have changed in our country.

Cuz yelling in arabic is the equivalent of appearing as a threat right?

Like white kids have stopped wearing trenchcoats now right?

yes yelling in arabic on a plan can appear as a threat. Use your ******* head. No one wouod be yelling on a plane to begin with, yet alone yelling in arabic on a plane filled with english speakers. Of course some people are going to feel some sort of way about that.

And its not just a white kid wearing a trench coat, or an arabic person speaking quietly on a phone while a plane is boarding/taxiing. What he did on that plane, imo, would be more equivalent to that white kid walking into a classroom or theatre while wearing that gear and yelling something out. People would be shook.
 
Going off the description of the witnesses, him sitting down, raising his fist and yelling something in arabic, then sitting back down, then doing it again, over and over. Yea, I would be like wth is wrong with this guy too and would be more comfortable if he got booted off. It's weird behavior.

Have you even been on a plane before? Yelling in any language will get you kicked off a flight ASAP :lol: I just flew back from San Diego last weekend, and a white dude who was yelling after our flight got delayed wasn't allowed on the plane. I usually agree with most of your topics, but there's times like this where you reach way too far

this is like pulling up a unarmed man whos been shot by the police criminal record.

i mean.... if dude has a record of pulling bb guns on officers to see if they'll shoot him...

I'd say its relevant

yall missed the point of my statement.

when an unarmed man gets shot by police, media and the public are quick to pull up the victims criminal history to justify him getting shot.

same thing happened here. had a "criminal record" yall jumped to conclusions...

It's not the same situation. This guy is the one putting his own history of causing trouble on planes for laughs on the internet. It's not random people or the media digging up his past. He WANTS you to see his videos and think of him as someone that shouldn't be taken seriously, so why is it wrong to judge him in that manner and not believe him?

It's more like a guy doing suicide by cop and then getting shot.

He wanted to intentionally elicit a reaction on the plane for views and so it happened. The outcome that happened is literally exactly what he wanted.

If I make 9 threads on NT with fake stories and get caught each time, will you believe me when I make a 10th thread with a story that actually took place? Answer honestly :lol: I don't get why some of you can't understand this logic

Ok policy changed as it should have

But where is the societal fear of white people like there is for arabs?

Where has the public opinion changed in regards to white people?

If a white person is walking around with an assault rifle in hand and bulletproof vest, yes that would scare me as much as being on a plane with a dude dressed up as a rentasuicidebomber doing a countdown right before take-off.

And this particular prank may not have gone that far, but there is dudes on you tubes dressing up like a suicide bomber runnin up to people like they about to blow themselves up in front of them....all for laughs be views...no different than this.
 
with trump coming, i mean aint no time for muslim or any minority type pranking

lotta ignorant uneducated in the usa trying to start nonsense over nothing
 
im not here to argue this guys merits

my beef is with the normalization of anti muslim sentiment

from the public societal demonizing to the airlines "policy" restrictions and one sided reaction

but lets keep beating the dead horse and lending credence to the notion that its acceptable or encouraged to distinguish "real" racism from fake "racism"

thereby creating the circumstances/conditions under which "racism" is performed

and simultaneously offering life to notion of discredting stories of racism and actively seeking to do so

Bro cut da **** man...

Airlines is not a place for games, you will get your *** kicked off a plane with ease regardless what you look like, I said earlier on this thread, on my way back from DR we were delayed while a Dominican woman WITH A CAST was escorted out for being obnoxious, a flight is not the place you wanna act out in.
 
H2H has never been on a plane before. He thinks you can act however you want as if you're on a New York subway or something. Even then, you're supposed to be quiet and act respectfully towards other riders on the subway, it's just that there's too many weirdos and lunatics on there for you to tell them to shut up :lol:

like i said im not here to argue about what the guy did or didnt do

its safe to say he wasnt a threat right? just loud apparently

its who he is and what he looks like that brought on the vitriol

look at that guy who was yellin trump on the plane, he was obnoxious but no one saw him as "dangerous"

the anti muslim sentiment is what is not being discussed 

edit: i find it funny how you and others always conveniently leave off the K when abbreviating

almost like an innate reaction towards referring to a black man as King

You think you're some sort of genius for pointing out the anti Muslim sentiment that has existed since 2001. Congrats

:rofl: at your edit.

No he didn't get kicked off because he was Arabic, he got kicked off because he was being obnoxious...the same outcome would have happened if a white person, a black person, Latino or Asian was acting the same way...people get kicked off a plane for any behavior out of the ordinary...You understand flight attendants need to be secure that in case of an emergency EVERYONE on that plane will be compliant, if ANYONE shows any sign of not complying or being respectful while boarding, they not gonna risk taking off and being stuck with such a passenger once in flight....is VERY SIMPLE.
