A group of Melanoid women who are part of a book club were kicked off the Napa Valley Wine Train on Saturday.

In a scenario reminiscent of the first Jim Crow era where Black people had to “mind their manners around white supremacists” on public transportation,especially on trains, a group of Black women were told they were being too loud.

According to one of the Black female passengers who was targeted, one of the suspected white supremacist female passengers on the train allegedly remarked that the laughter of the Black women “annoyed her” because this is “not a bar”.

News of the incident is reaching social media and it has spawned the hashtag #LaughingWhileBlack.

“It was humiliating. I’m really offended to be quite honest,” said 47-year-old Lisa Johnson, who was among Saturday’s group. “I felt like it was a racist attack on us. I feel like we were being singled out.”

The women have since been given a full refund by the train company, but continue to seek a public apology.

In a statement Sunday, Napa Valley Wine Train spokeswoman Kira Devitt said the company “received complaints from several parties in the same car and after three attempts from staff, requesting that the group keep the noise to an acceptable level, they were removed from the train and offered transportation back to the station in Napa.”

This scenario further proves that white supremacist society goes on alert whenever there is a situation with six or more Black people. Melanoid people have to understand we are in a system of white supremacy,and this system is now in a violent nouveau Nazi stage. And Black people can be targeted at any given moment depending on the mood of any suspected white supremacist.

But were they actually being loud and/or obnoxious? Like it sounds like they got kicked off the train for being loud not for being black.

“She said people were complaining and I said, ‘Who’s complaining?’ And she said, ‘Well, people’s faces are uncomfortable,'” said Johnson. “At that point, one passenger nearby said, 'Well, this is not a bar.' We reacted, 'Yes, it is a bar, a bar on wheels.'"

The train company just needs to find a group of loud white people to kick off to prove they're not racist.

The fact that the white women are being called 'white supremacists' in this article instead of just assholes is why nothing will ever change!
