Black Father Calls Out American Airlines Attendant For Assuming He Kidnapped His Kids

Black Father Calls Out American Airlines Attendant For Accusing Him Of Kidnapping His Mixed Kids

American Airlines might have to cut a black father a huge check if he sues them for racial discrimination.

David Ryan Harris took to social media to call out the airline for what took place during his flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles with his two children.

Harris says he was shocked after being approached by an American representative and four police officers.

‘Apparently, a flight attendant had called ahead with some sort of concern that perhaps my mixed children weren’t my children because they were unresponsive,’ he said.

Harris says his 7-year-old child that caused the flight attendant to be concerned, is pretty shy. She made a phone call to alert authorities after the child didn’t respond to her asking “what’s your name?”

Harris was then interrogated by police before being allowed to continue his trip. ‘I wanted to go through the roof,’ he said. But he didn’t want to show anger in front of his children.

After posting about the incident online, Harris was offered 10,000 air miles. The airline claims the flight attendant followed company protocol, and that not providing a name is a sign of trafficking. Harris says their response was insulting.
