Caution: Professional victim at work.
Tamika Mallory, one of the four women behind the Women’s March (alongside Sharia-loving Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and some chick named Bob) took to Twitter Sunday to recount her experience of having just been thrown off an American Airlines flight.
.@americanairlines strikes again. But THIS time, I will not be too busy to deal with the way I was disrespected today.

“It definitely was white male aggression. I was singled out, I was disrespected, and he was trying to intimidate me,” Mallory tells the New York Daily News. “I was discriminated against.”
According to Mallory, she had arrived at a Miami International Airport for a flight to New York. At the airport, she used a kiosk to change her seat from a middle to an aisle seat. She alleges that at the gate she found she was re-seated in her original middle seat. Upon asking why, Mallory says she was given a “nasty” and “disrespectful” response. A pilot, who was presumably passing by, then involved himself in the conversation, and told Mallory to that she was being disrespectful by questioning the gate agent.
Things escalated to the point where she was ejected from the flight.
While she didn’t provide many details, she berated everyone asking for any sort of proof for what allegedly transpired, claiming it was further proof of some sort of racist conspiracy.
She even quoted a tweet from yours truly asking if there was any video available yet of the altercation. I was promptly informed that I was a “white man proving Tamika’s point” for daring question that the narrative occured 100% as described.
And this is what happens to black women who share our stories. People call us crazy, tell us we deserved it. pic.twitter.com/2gn0EfKXFZ

Thus far, only one witness to the event has come forward to comment on what happened – and they paint a much different picture than the one in Tamika’s head. Heavy.com learned the following from them.
That individual posted photos on her Twitter to confirm that they were, in fact, on the plane.

It’ll be interesting to see what the video captured.
