A Black woman from Texas was traveling on a flight when she recorded and posted a video on TikTok of a white passenger she captured typing a racist message about her. The woman was seemingly upset that she had been accidentally touched by Riah Elese braids.
The text which can be read from the video said, “Landed. Just got whipped with some NASTY dreads/corn rows of a COON getting her luggage. They have no respect. Patience. Cattle for sure. I’m OUT.”
In the video, which was posted last has went viral, Riah added a caption to the post saying she had already apologized twice.
Riah posted another video sharing more details about what happened. She stated that her braids accidentally hit the woman whom she was sitting across from the aisle while reaching for her cabin bag while getting off the plane.
She says the woman told her to “don’t worry about it” when she apologized twice. However, she then she saw that the woman proceeded to message her family with a racist message about her. She caught the text while she was leaving the plane and decided not to confront her.
