Chapter 6 Section 3 Blacks VS Whites: Who Takes First Class?

Thinking about problems requires a kind of wisdom. ? ?

On a flight from San Francisco to New York, a middle-aged white woman sat next to a black man.She glared at the black people around her, who responded to her unkindness with a smile.So the white woman called the flight attendant aggressively. ?
"Is there any problem?"?
"How can you put me here, I can't bear to sit next to such a hapless person, find me another seat!"?
A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned.

She said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry, economy class is full, but there is still a seat available in first class."?
Without waiting for the white woman to speak, the flight attendant went on to say: "It is indeed a situation that we have not encountered before, but I have obtained special permission from the captain."?
The flight attendant continued: "Given the exceptional circumstances, the captain thought it would be unreasonable for a passenger to sit with such a nasty person."?
Before the white woman could respond, the flight attendant turned to the black man: "So, if you don't mind, we have a first-class seat ready, please move over."?
Passengers around responded with warm applause at this time, and the black man walked towards the first-class cabin with a smile amidst the applause. ?
Mind walk?

American psychologist Guilford talked about the racial system and told this interesting and touching story when he was chatting with his friends. They all applauded the actions of the captain and flight attendant. ?
In the conventional thinking of an ordinary white American, it must be the white woman who sat in the first class in the end. Although this is very unfair, everyone still has a discriminatory attitude towards black people at that time.But the ending of the story is just the opposite. The way the flight attendant and the captain used creative thinking to solve the problem gave us an unexpected surprise.This is the kindness and wisdom in the minds of flight attendants and captains. ?
