New Orleans mayor says flying economy unsafe for black women refuses to repay $30k of taxpayer cash

[Burgermeister]

"New Orleans Democrat mayor has declared economy class flights unsafe for black women, while insisting she wont repay $30,000 of taxpayers' money blown on first-class flights to France and Switzerland.

Speaking at a press conference Thursday, LaToya Cantrell said: 'My travel accommodations are a matter of safety, not of luxury.

As all women know, our health and safety are often disregarded and we are left to navigate alone.

'As the mother of a young child whom I live for, I am going to protect myself by any reasonable means in order to ensure I am there to see her grow into the strong woman I am raising her to be.

'Anyone who wants to question how I protect myself just doesn't understand the world black women walk in.'

She has repeatedly refused to repay the cost of a luxury American Airlines flight from Washington Dulles Airport to Switzerland for herself in July, despite a city ban on luxury air travel.

Cantrell spent around $10,000 on her own flat bed seat and blew a similar amount on a first-class return to France earlier this year - while her aides traveled in coach.

Cantrell has defended her purchase of the luxury tickets as her both 'doing business' on behalf of the city and because she believes it wouldn't be safe for her to travel in economy class."

Here's the punchline - "While the mayor sat in first-class, her team, including her security detail, were seated in coach."

So worried about her safety that she had her security detail sit in another section of the plane. LOL

At some point you would think these cities would stop electing these morons, but they just keep doubling down.

Bottom line:
Government corruption from top to bottom is now the American Way. Same as it works in most 3rd and 4th world countries.
America is in DEEP trouble. It will affect everyone, including you.

She's trying to claim black women are assaulted when they are back in economy class?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

She just doesn’t want to have to sit where the black women are.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Has she paid the $30K back yet?

1) Why was she going to Europe....on the tax payers' dime to begin with?

2) So unsafe, racist conditions on international flights for black American PEASANTS are 'acceptable', just not for HER because she's 'special'...

Got it.
