Adam Saleh YouTube Star Kicked Off Delta Airlines For Speaking Arabic

Adam Saleh YouTube Star Kicked Off Delta Airlines For Speaking Arabic
Adam Saleh YouTube Star Kicked Off Delta Airlines For Speaking Arabic Adam Saleh YouTube Star Kicked Off Delta Airlines For Speaking Arabic Adam Saleh, a YouTube Star with a channel bearing his name, was kicked off a Delta Airlines flight and only for speaking arabic. What was worse, is the same Delta Airlines that allowed a white guy to refer to women on a flight out of Atlanta to Allentown as the “b-word”, removed a set of passengers just for speaking in their mother tongue, which happens to be arabic. Adam Saleh made a video-blog just as he was getting off the plane. You can see some of the people in the background waving for him to get off the aircraft – all white. Delta Airlines, in a statement, reported that 20 people spoke up, saying they were not comfortable with Adam Saleh speaking arabic. The Delta Statement: “Maintaining a safe, comfortable and orderly onboard environment is paramount for every flight and requires the cooperation of all of our customers in conjunction with adherence to directions from our crew members. This is a Delta policy and is required by U.S. regulations as well as others governing aviation worldwide. “Two customers were removed from Delta flight 1 departing London-Heathrow today after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort. “We have spoken with the customers who were removed; they were rebooked on another flight. Plans are in place to immediately speak with our crew and other passengers when the flight lands this afternoon. We will provide an update once we have more information.” Completely wild development on Delta Airlines, which seems to have racked up a recent history of complaints by people of color for a combination of events that add up to allegations of racism. Rapper Azealia Banks had choice words for the airline after being struck by a French passenger. The real story, not reported by publications like TMZ, was that she was being bullied by a passenger, who, inexplicably, would not let her get off the plane. Delta did not defend her as a woman being assaulted by a man. In another example, a Delta Airlines Flight Attendant rejected an offer for help by a doctor because the worker did not believe the black woman was a medical specialist. In another instance, Darlene Hider, a Muslim woman traveling with her family on Delta, was dealing with a sick child when a white women complained about them to an attendant. Rather than moving the white woman, Delta moved the Muslim family. Delta is fast becoming the airline associated with modern racism. It had better make changes, and fast, before it looses passengers due to this developing reputation. On the matter of fear of Muslims by some, the actions that seem to be causing this around the World, this blogger believes, may be financed by right-wing interests. The end result? To put them in power. Stay tuned.

Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Market Study Done By CSL, Has History Of Overinflated Reports

Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Market Study Done By CSL, Has History Of Overinflated Reports
Oakland Raiders Las Vegas NFL Stadium Market Study Done By CSL, With History Of Overinflated Reports According to reports, the Oakland Raiders and its President Marc Badain hired Convention, Sports, and Leisure, a Plano, Texas-based firm with a history of producing what many claim are overinflated reports, to produce a market study of Las Vegas for its NFL Stadium plan. This news would explain how the Oakland Raiders could reportedly claim that the NFL Las Vegas Study was something that Badain denounced with what one reporter said was a compound cuss word. But the truth is, the same word could apply to what CSL did for the Raiders with respect to Las Vegas. According to a stinging report by the San Diego Union Tribune in 2010, Convention, Sports, and Leisure justified Petco Park, the baseball stadium built downtown for the San Diego Padres, as being a net advantage and requiring a public subsidy because without the public money, nothing would have been built where it sits. Given that the site is smack in the middle of what's now called The Gaslamp District, and next to the San Diego Marina, such a claim is, at best, baseless. The same 2010 San Diego Union Tribune article goes on to report that “In San Jose, an analysis by the San Jose Mercury News showed CSL’s study didn’t take into account costs of at least $42 million for the city to buy up the land for the A’s ballpark.” The problem with Convention, Sports, and Leisure's approach is that it doesn't actually build computer models to evaluate the ability of a local economy to actually absorb a project like a sports stadium. That's why the Raiders can't tell you what the number for season ticket purchase rate is in Las Vegas versus Oakland. If there were any real demand for tickets for Raiders games by locals, you would have known about it by now. You don't, because there is not a big number to report, if they have one at all. This blogger's background is in urban planning with a specialization in urban economics. In 1988 to 1991, Zennie Abraham and Associates produced tax increment revenue forecasts for the City of Oakland and City of Emeryville and built a giant spreadsheet called “The Area Redevelopment Economic Model” which could be used for any California-based redevelopment project. In 2003, Sports Business Simulations, where I am CEO, was launched around a business simulation of the Oakland Athletics built using a specialized programming language based on system dynamics. The Oakland Baseball Simworld was used in 40 colleges and high schools nationwide. It was even used by Oakland Raiders interns who were students at the University of San Francisco's Sport Management Program.

President Bush reacts to Obama's victory in 2008 election

President Bush reacts to Obama's victory in 2008 election
SHOTLIST 1. US President George W. Bush walks to podium 2. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: "Good morning. Last night I had a warm conversation with president-elect Barack Obama. I congratulated him and Senator Biden on their impressive victory. I told the president-elect he could count on complete cooperation from my administration as he makes the transition to the White House. I also spoke to Senator John McCain. I congratulated him on a determined campaign that he and Governor Palin ran. The American people will always be grateful for the lifetime of service John McCain has devoted to this nation, and I know he will continue to make tremendous contributions to our country. No matter how they cast their ballots, all Americans can be proud of the history that was made yesterday. Across the country citizens voted in large numbers. They showed a watching world the vitality of American democracy and the stride we have made toward a more perfect union. They chose a president whose journey represents a triumph of the American story. A testament to hard work, optimism and faith in the enduring promise of our nation. Many of our citizens thought they would never live to see that day. This moment is especially uplifting for a generation of Americans who witnessed the struggles of civil rights with their own eyes; four decades later, see a dream fulfilled. A long campaign is ended and we move forward as a nation. Embarking on a period of change in Washington, yet there are some things that will not change. The United States government will remain vigilant in meeting its most important responsibility: protecting the American people. And the world can be certain this commitment will remain steadfast under our next commander in chief. There is important work to do in the months ahead and I will continue to conduct the people's business as long as this office remains in my trust. During this time of transition I will keep the president-elect fully informed on important decisions. When the time comes on January 20 Laura and I will return home to Texas with treasured memories of our time here, with profound gratitude for the honour of serving this amazing country. It will be a stirring sight to watch President Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their beautiful girls step through the doors of the White House. I know millions of Americans will be overcome with pride at this inspiring moment that so many have waited so long. I know Senator Obama's beloved mother and grandparents would have been thrilled to watch the child they raised ascend the steps of the Capitol and take his oath to uphold the constitution of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Last night I extended an invitation to the president-elect and Mrs Obama to come to the White House and Laura and I are looking forward to welcoming them as soon as possible. Thank you very much." 3. Bush walks away STORYLINE: US President George W. Bush fully embraced the election of Democrat Barack Obama as his successor on Wednesday, paying stirring tribute to the election of the first U.S. black president-elect and hailing the campaign of change that led Obama to victory. Bush promised Obama his "complete cooperation" during the Democrat's 76-day transition to the White House. The president said he would keep Obama informed on all his decisions between now and January 20, and said he looked forward to the day - soon, he hopes - that Obama and his family would take him up on his offer of pre-inauguration White House visit. The defeated leader of his own party, John McCain, won accolades not nearly so glowing with Bush hailing his lifetime of service to the US.
