“I was humiliated,” Davis said. “I’m thinking there could have been an Air Marshal on the plane that could have attacked me.”, “I just felt so alone. “She’s always told me what I should do when the cops pull me over — just always comply and don’t talk back, and just listen to them.”. Both Sandmann and Phillips had said they were trying to defuse tensions rising among three groups marching on the same day. That’s crazy.”. In the suit, Davis reported that after taking his seat at the back of the flight from Houston to Nashville, he was approached by a female flight attendant asking him to turn down his music, which was playing through his earbuds from his cell phone. He settled a lawsuit with CNN in January for an undisclosed amount. Sandmann did not reveal what the settlement was. “We just have to show a Black guy graduating from Harvard, show a Black guy saving lives, and not just the thugs and ‘I grew up without a dad’ and that whole negative aggression they put on us.”. Both Sandmann and Phillips had said they were trying to defuse tensions rising among three groups marching on the same day. “I’m just happy that people are speaking up about the situation and standing with me.”. As he left the plane, Davis thought there would be police waiting for him in the terminal. They also claimed that a 'smirking' Sandmann had stood in Phillip's path, blocking him from moving. Davis said he’s working through the emotions of this experience and seeing a therapist to deal with paranoid thoughts and nightmares. © Copyright 2020 Variety Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Business Media, LLC.

We need to show African Americans in a positive light,” Davis continued, pointing to superhero films like “Black Panther” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” as positive examples of Black men in media. 'On 2/19/19, I filed $250M defamation lawsuit against Washington Post. Today, I turned 18 & WaPo settled my lawsuit,' Sandmann said. Despite growing up in the suburbs of Memphis, Tenn., and never having any trouble with authorities, Davis said his parents taught him how to act if the situation arose. Davis and his attorney George Mallory filed the racial discrimination lawsuit against United Airlines, ExpressJet Airlines — which operates as United Express, on behalf of United — and ManaAir. Davis says that other passengers sitting near him on the plane told him that they couldn’t hear his music and that they felt the attendant was singling him out. A Kentucky high school student says he has settled a $250 million lawsuit with the Washington Post on his 18th birthday after he sued them claiming they made him out to be a racist following his stand-off with a Native American protester.
