Hat tip to the homey: Luvvie of the blog: Awesomely Luvvie for this one…
Apparently UGK rapper: Bun B was sitting on a plane when the man behind him was asked if he would mind moving so that a mother and her child could sit together on the plane. The man in question ‘allegedly’ refused to move and… well… Bun B decided to tell the world about it….
Now some are saying that they wouldn’t move either for the mother because what if they were asking him to sit in a middle seat and as we all know, most people would drive over a school of ducks rather than sit in a middle seat. But look at this plane? There ARE no middle seats…..
So i’m with Bun B on this one. NOT trill… NOT cool, Mr Redshirt….
That’s just my opinion. What’s yours?

Red shirt gets the serious gas face for that move<img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/b8mdqe.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
white men are the worse assholes ever…and yes I said that…
would I move sure…I'm a mother though…mothers look at things completely different…most of us are not selfish like this asshole is
but question:
was this southwest (where you pick and choose where you sit when you board the plane)
or another airline where she could choose the seats at time of purchase
I would have moved also.
What if thechild starts crying for the mother? What if the child had a medical condition that need the mothers attention. not that I hope the child get sick or anything… but I hope the child pukes all over him in flight. I hope the child is like:
[youtube Uw_Q2wDnClo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw_Q2wDnClo youtube]
How old is the child in question? I thought if you need a medical accommodation, you tell the check-in attendant or flight attendant and let them handle that for you.
Not just expect or hope a stranger will accommodate you.
Yeah but what about good ole chivalry for a lady. ANYTIME a lady approches me with a request in public.. I try to help. And she is with a child. Doesnt matter the age. Just some common courtesy…
It is. I just don't know about calling this man a bytch, jumping to conclusions and plastering his pic allover the internet when I don't even know what happened.
A mother with a Jolaby-Busmobile carrier called by Mom a bytch for not moving to another seat in the NEX three weeks after she got out of the hospital for MRSA and having screws replaced in her ankle. I had walked off with her crutches, she didn't 'look' disabled, and she didn't owe anyone an explanation as to why she didn't want to move.
Should she have had to worry about someone snapping a pic of her and calling her a bytch allover the internet without anyone knowing what happened?
My mother has had knee replacement surgery and flying can be uncomfortable for her too. The pain turns her into an evil little munchkin and I WISH A MUTHAFUGGA would purse their lips & dare utter the word b*itch to her if she refused such a request.
This man is being raked over the coals because he didn't respond the way people "expected" him to. SMH
I get what you and Choc is saying. Makes sense.. BUT. You both are talking about "women" in the same situation. It's a little different.
If I was asked, and couldn't for a certain reason" I would have told her. Even though its not really her business, I would have said.. Ma'am… I would like to. But I have these pins in my leg and it just hurts too much for me to have to move again. But I will watch him and if something is needed I will alert you.
At least let her know why. A gentleman is always expected to help a lady out. And if he cant.. then he needs to let her know why and apologize.
See, that's where I have a major problem. You don't OWE an explanation nor an apology to anyone for simply denying a request. You shouldn't be EXPECTED to comply. If you decide to do it, it should be seen as a "courtesy".
The man in question here paid his fare and the only "expectation" anyone should have from him is that he doesn't do anything that will put the passengers' and flight crew's lives at risk. Yes, it would be "nice" if he obliged but this public reaming because he said no is a reflection of how we have allowed these "expectations" to get out of hand.
This notion that women "deserve" to get this, that, or the other simply because they are women and have a vagina doesn't sit well with me. Many may not agree with me but, oh well. *shrugs*
Choc… you know I love you. You KNOW this. Hell we got history. ::snicker::
BUT I have to disagree with:
"This notion that women "deserve" to get this, that, or the other simply because they are women and have a vagina doesn't sit well with me."
It's not because you have a vagina. When I help a lady out.. I don't be like. Hmm she got a puzzy. Let me help! I feel so very sad that chivalry is so dead that a women does not even want it or feel that she deserves it. I have done things for women that have taken me away or inconvenienced me in many ways. I do not reget any of it. Matter of fact, I didn't even tell them how they inconvenienced me. I just did it.
I guess it's a different work I live in than from what I was always taught. But I can't change. I will always treat a lady like she should be treated…Even if it inconveniences me. I may be last of a dying breed…but damn it I have my standards. Call me a dinosaur, neanderthal or what ever.. but you will always call me a gentleman.
But you've made the assertion that's he's an able-bodied man who chose not to help when no one knows if he could help or not. That man could have had a juicy colostomy bag on his person for all we know.
I'm not talking about some jack azz who did the stanky leg onto the plane and then refused to give up his seat, just because he didn't want to do so.
I'm talking about determining this one man's behavior based on a pic that someone posted that offers not details, no explanation, no context, nothing.
Just
"Welp. this man's a bytch because he didn't give up his seat. I don't know why he didn't, I don't know why the other person in the other seat didn't, but hey, he didn't give an explanation, so he's a bytch."
I mean all we have to go on is the pic and the caption.
Seriously.. I am really sad that women such as yourself dont feel you are worthy enough. I am so scared to see what it will be like when my daughters get grown. I wish a man would chime in and let me know am I wrong? I need fubs in here.
I don't define my WORTH by what any man deems as a chivalrous act. I don't define my WORTH simply based on the fact that I am a WOMAN. I find it sad that you would assert that I don't feel "worthy" simply because I don't have such lofty "expectations" and I don't get my panties in a bunch when "courtesies" aren't extended.
How dare you, sir.
*tambourines all over this post*
Sorry, Lo…..chivalry is nice and all of that, but I don't let it–or lack of–influence who I am or how I feel as a woman.
Ok Choc… you know what.. you win.. I just wish you didn't feel that way. It is my prayer for you that when you meet a guy with my values if you already hadn't..that you will appreciate it.
No where in my comments did I say I didn't appreciate chivalry nor the men in my life who extend such courtesies. …ya know what? Nevermind. You've drawn your ill-conceived conclusions about what you "think" I think of myself and how I interact with the men in my life when you don't have a clue about my whole story. Same with the guy in the pic. *shrugs*
I don't have a problems with any man opening my door, saying "Please and Thank You" when necessary, pulling out my chair, offering to walk me to my door, walking on the outside of me, etc.
Please believe me, anyone who knows me knows me, knows that it not the case at all.
But calling this man a bytch when I don't even know what's going on, just because a famous person called him a bytch, does not make any sense to me. I'm not talking about feminism, chivalry, or telling a man how treat me like a lady. This has nothing to to with that.
I'm talmbout running with a caption and believing everything you see without asking "Why" to begin with and making sweeping assumptions.

Think of the horse, sir…. think of the horse.
Don't be pissy. *swat* Not errbody thinks like an old school black dude anymore.
and that's a good thing?
girl, stop… don't even. You and I had this conversation just yesterday and we decided that we are both old, we don't know any better, we don't get this new-fangled thinking, You're just a bitter- hating black woman and I'm just a whipped don't know shyt lame.

donnn't bother.
right!
old age had me forgetting lol
carry on y'all
we'll be over here on the side not knowing ish
It's a different thing, and had nothing to do with red shirt up top because he might just be an asshole. Times change, and traditions change. There's nothing wrong with those who wish to stick by those traditions because there are people out there who agree.
What drives me nuts is how not choosing not to stick to those traditions is suddenly the downfall of relationships when the real problem–IMO so we don't get anything twisted here–is folks who either no longer know how to treat ANYbody decently, or those who refuse to bend or adjust to the detriment of themselves or others.
I mean come on, Choc is an awesome woman; but Lo just said he felt SORRY for her because she chooses not to let what a man can or cannot do for her define her. Really? Really?
o.o
Deg you make me feel like my Uncle Charlie Mac.
So true man..soooo true

How did you determine what you think I'm worth based on one post? The only thing I've said is that we don't know the whole story? I really have no idea how you've made such an assumption.
I agree with everything BUT the worth part.. I don't see them saying anything about them feeling they aren't worthy. I didn't read anything stating that, bro.
The thing about chilvary is that sometimes old skool types use it as a weapon instead of a shield or a helping hand. A woman should completely have the choice to accept or refuse a chivalrous gesture as she sees fit, She is not at all obligated to accept any gesture we deem as chivalrous. You can't take someone's power away under the guise of doing the right thing.
This is true.. but playing devils advocate.. why would a woman turn it down?
because it's their choice to or not, Big bro.
Fubs taught me that FORCING a perceived chivalrous act upon someone who doesn't want it, is just as offensive if not more so.
*hugs* Lo
I get what you are saying…
you sir are probably a dying breed…unfortunately
I have to ask why do you believe he's a dying breed? He's not a dying breed. I've met and know more gentlemen than I've met and know more azzholes. Maybe it's because of my area, but I just don't believe or subscribe to that.
Thanks sis.. I give up

*Kanye Shrugged because Atlas was a slacker* \\(*_*)//
Most folks werent raised or brought up with manners. It all depends on how one is raised as to whether or not they are naturally courteous.
Basically… it aint hard to understand.
Okay, before you all start rolling the man in the red shirt.
He looks like a big guy…not fat but the kind that shops in a Big & Tall store. Big men with long legs have more than a tough time in those small a$$ seats on the plane. If they aren't seated in an exit row or an aisle seat where they can stretch their legs, they can be in for a long flight. So what if the only other available seat was a window seat? Should he sacrifice his comfort so the lady can sit with her kid? And as much as airfare costs these days why begrudge him that minor "comfort"?
I'm not going to call the man a b*tch or go hard in the paint on him cause I can totally understand and I'm considered "short". I'm going to call "b*itch" on the airline carries who make those seats uncomfortable for anyone over 5'3".
And another thing…the mother knew she'd be traveling with her minor child, why not ask the airline to put the two seats together at the time of purchase and pay the extra fee to ENSURE you and your child sit together? Otherwise, it's a crap shoot.
that was my question unless it's Southwest where they don't do seat assignments (that I know of)…but most other airlines let you choose at time of purchase…
but even if she couldn't/wouldn't do all of that…I still would have moved…but that's just how I am…
To that I say that there may not have been two seats available together. Most times when that happens, if you ask someone to trade, they will. This guy just didn't want to be helpful…he may have been well within his rights and all, but a dyck move is a dyck move.
He should have at least offered to let the mother sit on his lap.
sir
He looks like an arrogant prick!
I won't call the man bitch made either but you have to remember that when you miss the opportunity to show acts of kindness there is going to be a moment soon and very soon where you'll have to rely on someone else for an act of kindness as well. Not saying what he should or shouldn't have done but for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction…just an fyi.
ALLLL of this right here…
Maybe she asked and for whatever reason couldnt, Maybe she got a layover flight with no choice of tickets. That does not look like an exit seat that he is sitting in.
Honestly this comes down to no giving a shyt about your fellow man. Someone said "Who cares if you sit with your kid? We all get there at the same time." LOL and yet these are the same folks that go off on parents when something happens to the kid: "Where was the mother? Why wasnt she there? She should be shot!" You cant have it both ways people. If that kid is having a bad day and starts acting up then what?
Red Shirt you sir are an asshole.
Star Trek taught us that.. \\(*_*)//
Is the person that was seated next to the mother also a bitch? Because there were two options to accommodate.
A request was made and Mr. Redshirt said no. Neither he nor anyone else is under any obligation to accommodate a stranger's lack of planning and/or foresight. Would it have been nice for him to do so, sure. But it doesn't make him anything more a man who turned down a request.
This happened to me once but an incredibly nice young lady offered her seat without me asking. My son was four and it was his first time flying. I try and pay it forwards as much as I can.
It looks like he's sitting next to the child & that there are seats available. I'd move just to avoid the mother-child traffic in flight. He doesn't HAVE to, but it would be nice to be accommodating…
He's a redshirt so he's gonna die anyway…
::laffin' at your geekness::
ma'am
I could boo yo face for this awesomeness….
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume mama had a window seat too (and why wasn't her seat neighbor asked to move?) If…IF this guy has an issue with his left leg that necessitates that he be afforded the extra adjustment space a right-side aisle seat offers, I'm not mad at him for declining the request. My mom was in a bad bike accident 40 years ago and now has nuts and bolts in her ankle and knee. Air travel is not comfortable for her unless she gets a left-side aisle seat so she can stretch her leg a little farther…this heffa will cut you if you ask her to switch seats because if she's cramped during flight, she's walking with a limp and in pain for the rest of the day, even on a 45-minute regional hop. So if this is a similar case, I'm not mad at him. If he was just being crochety because he could, f*ck him.
Psssh all that yingaly yangaly-yang y';all talking about my momma this, my granny had this surgery, my momma had her anus muscles and left toe replaced, blah blah blah bickety fickaty..muthafuggin blah.
aint nobody talking about what YO momma had to go through or how her left labia had just been operated on. Quit internalising shyt. damn. lol.
We're talking about this redshirt simp right here, and the bottom line is: ANY man who doesn't go out of his way to accommodate women or children if it is in his power, Is a clotty cunt of a bytch. Period.
Put the shyt in a song if ya need to in order to understand it, shyt.

This is the same type of dude I had to cuss out on the metra train 5 years ago because a bunch of people were sitting all nice and comfy in their seats whilst a pregnant woman breathing heavy and out of breath was holding her bags and had to stand up next to where i was standing until I got irate and yelled out:" SO NONE OF YOU MOTHER****ERS UP THERE SEE THAT PREGNANT WOMAN NEEDING TO SIT DOWN? " Only then did two dudes and another woman get up to allow her to sit down and then left the car because they were embarrassed.
I shouldn't have had to act like a n*gga to get grown people to not act like bytches.
no REAL dude is going to not move so that a mother and child can sit together.

May I ask dear sir, why it's wrong to give Redshirt the same benefit of doubt that the mother in this situation has been given? Just as no one but those involved knows exactly why the mother and child weren't sitting together, no one knows if it was a medical reason, psychological reason or simple pettiness that resulted in his saying no to changing seats. Yet, she's now "the poor put out mommy" and he's everything but a child of god.

I know I'm supposed to be the voice of reason here
but man I laughed for 10 minutes at this
like real tears!
I was on the 6 train one day going home from work and a pregnant lady came on the train. I had to get her attention from ACROSS the train to offer her my seat, because the b*****s sitting down all around her just ignored her. Then this non-pregnant-ass-bytch thought I was offering HER my seat. I said, "No. This is for her." Ughhh! Ruined my evening.
I'm always the one who's offering seats, holding doors, hauling around strollers, helping with suitcases on public transport… while capable (and taller) men of all ages just sit around and watch me do it. Home training is clearly not in style these days.

If i wasn't me.. i'd fire missiles into my face.
None of us know redshirt's situation, but I'm guessing Bun B heard the whole convo since he's sitting right in front of him. And he took the pic & posted. Now rappers aren't known for their generosity, so if HE'S calling him a bytch, the maybe there's something to it…IJS
Thats what I was thinking why would he go out his way if dude wasn't a prick about it? Im sure if he said ma'am my legs have pins there would be no post.
Why Bun B ain't got no eyebrows tho?
or why is he sitting in coach ass coach
This looks like a plane with only one cabin.

Shyt, I'll move for ANYONE who wants to sit together. I mean, what do I have of 'my' place when I got negative energy coming at me from left and right and shyt?
It's just a plane ride. I don't see the issue.
Oh Ive heard about people having issues with giving their seat up to a pregnant woman. They argued that the pregnant woman chose to get pregnant and knew what issues she'd face. No reason to become uncomfortable for someone that chose that situation.
*sigh* No hope for mankind
Eh, I guess. He's not really obligated to move. Would it be cool of him to do? Sure. But don't demonize him for not moving.
Devil's advocate time…
Why couldn't the mother be bothered to make prior arrangements for her and her kid to sit together? This is 2012. With a modicum of effort, you can choose your seats allowing you and your child or spouse to sit together. But no, it's okay for someone else to be inconvenienced because she didn't feel like clicking a mouse or making a phone call.
