Reading #JamesBaldwin #TheFireNextTime I’m struck by the rage he describes feeling being refused service at an airport bar.

I couldn’t help but think of the story #bellhooks tells about 20 years later in #KillingRage about the rage she felt over a seating “mix up” that pushed her Black friend to the back of a plane.

It seems like there’s something about air travel that brings out the worst in people and it so often impacts the most marginalized.
