When the man, Fredrick Joseph, asked her to show some consideration, she complained to the stewardess. The stewardess sided with the ghetto woman instead of the man (which makes the stewardess sort of ghetto as well). Not only that, but United Airlines allegedly offered the woman a $1000 voucher if she would cooperate. While this part of the story cannot be corroborated, the woman's ghetto behavior can:
Since when did United Airlines turn into Ghetto Air? This sort of behavior would have been unacceptable in the early days of commercial flying (the so-called 'glamour age' of flight, from the last century only a few decades ago). Pretty soon airplanes are going to have big rims on their tires.

United Airlines Awards White Woman $1000 After She Disturbs Black Man’s Flight
March 13, 2018
By VIBE Magazine
Frederick Joseph, the creator of the viral #BlackPantherChallenge, reportedly had a terrible experience flying with United Airlines on Mar. 13. According to Joseph, a white woman made his flight less than enjoyable, and when he attempted to alert United employees, they awarded her and dismissed him.
It all started when a woman decided to take off her shoes and put her feet on the table as Joseph was reportedly eating a meal. “This woman next to me took her shoes off and placed both feet on the table. So I’m waiting for flight staff to say something,” he wrote on Twitter. “So flight staff walks by numerous times without saying anything, and I’m irate, because no black person would ever get away with this shit. So I start looking at the staff noting that there is an issue. You know, giving them the snitch eye…”
After a few more minutes, Joseph decided to ask the woman to move her feet, to which she said: “what do you want me to do, the seats are small.” The two go back and forth before alerting a flight attendant. “The flight attendant says… ‘well what if she puts her feet closer to the window or puts one down’ The woman says ‘if I put one foot down, I want to be accommodated for accommodating him,'” he continued.
The attendant then came back with a $1000 voucher for the woman, but nothing for him. “So I ask “what voucher will I be receiving for my suffering” The flight attendant says ‘sir, we can only make but so many accommodations, and she has agreed to move her feet for you,'” he added. Joseph then reportedly got on the phone with customer service, where he received more resistance.
This isn’t the first time passengers of color have had problems with United. There have been several reports of passengers being physically removed from planes or racially-motivated altercations.
Check out Frederick Joseph’s account of the incident here.

So flight staff walks by numerous times without saying anything, and I’m irate, because no black person would ever get away with this shit. So I start looking at the staff noting that there is an issue. You know, giving them the snitch eye...
So finally I decide to say something to the woman myself. So I say “ma’am, I’m trying to eat, and your feet are next to my food.”
She says “what do you want me to do, the seats are small”
So she calls over a flight attendant as soon as I say that!
She says to the flight attendant “this man is disrupting my flight, I’m just trying to be comfortable”
So I point at her feet and explain my stance.
The flight attendant says... “well what if she puts her feet closer to the window or puts one down”
The woman says “if I put one foot down, I want to be accommodated for accommodating him”
So the flight attendant speaks to the person in-charge on the plane and they give promise this woman a fucking $1000 voucher ... ONE.THOUSAND. DOLLAR.
So I ask “what voucher will I be receiving for my suffering”
The flight attendant says “sir, we can only make but so many accommodations, and she has agreed to move her feet for you.”
Now I’m on the phone trying to explain how problematic this all was to a white woman in customer service who doesn’t get my issue.
