Everyone is entitled to certain things every day as a paying customer entering into a contract. More people are involved in contracts than they are involved with racism, it doesn't make them bad people everyone tends to care about issues they have experience with or relate to. I pointed out very early the guy had a reasonable legal argument for various reasons against the airline itself as well as the officers who removed him. You stood by the stance that he was in the wrong and consumers have no rights when being removed from a plane, but that is in fact false considering how quickly the airline settled and the lack of charges from a criminal stand point.
Your trying to project a larger social issue on to something unrelated to feign outrage. You can not like that the guy is getting paid, In fact he was an asshole, but he still has consumer protections. There was outrage for the items you mentioned, then people moved on. There was outrage over this, then people moved on. We live in a 24 hour shock and awe news cycle things burn bright and fizzle out quickly, it's just the way these things work.
