Minneapolis, MN — Demetria Poe, an African American woman from Minneapolis, says that she is beyond satisfied with Delta Airlines after they took a stand against the racism she experienced from a white passenger during her flight and even upgraded her seat for her return flight.
Poe, who is 25-years old, was traveling to Washington D.C. for the Commitment March when the incident happened. She said a white woman deliberately put on a Blue Lives Matter mask, replacing the American flag mask she was initially wearing when she realized she was sitting next to a Black woman.
“That woman was trying to entice me into an argument because there was no need for her to flip that mask in my presence,” Poe said. “She didn’t do it for anyone else. It was as if she was making a statement and wanted me to know.”
