DALLAS – Tyler Perry reportedly made an offer to buy American Airlines. They accepted. The new airline: African-American Airlines.
The Texas-based AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, announced that the company filed petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, “in order to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers.”
WWN has learned that wealthy actor-director Tyler Perry has made an attractive offer for American Airlines. The offer, said to be near $5 billion dollars, was quickly accepted by the airline.
“Mr. Perry made a bold and brilliant move… he is the smartest mogul in the country,” said a source close to American Airlines. ”No other businessman would have the guts to try to bail out the biggest airline in the United States.”
Perry, the creator of the “Madea” character and the “House of Payne” sitcom, reportedly plans to rename American Airlines – African-American Airlines. The new Perry run airline will be targeted to African-American passengers, but industry experts say that many white, asian and latino passengers will want to fly the airline, “just to be cool.”
Sources close to American Airlines said the sale to Perry is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.
Perry said he will not only be the CEO of the new airline, but he also will be the CFO, the COO, the CIO, the director of human sources and, of course, he will pilot many of the AAA flights.
American said it is operating normal flight schedules, honoring tickets and reservations, and making normal refunds and exchanges – during the transition period.
Perry reportedly said he will slowly implement new changes. ”I want every flight to be a positive experience for all passengers and I hope to turn every flight into a morality play of sorts.”
How will Perry turn a flight into a morality play? ”He hasn’t figured that out yet, but there will be a Madea character on every flight,” said Perry’s limo driver.
This will be Perry’s first airline, but sources say he plans to buy an airline every year for the next twenty years.
I sure hope it's true that he bought American Airlines because it shows some vision on Mr Perry's part and hopefully we will besupportive of his endeavors. People that Ive mentioned this to have already started talking about how "ghetto " it is going to be. Why can't we take this if it is true , and back the brother without being so negative about it…….one thing for sure how many of us can even think about making sure a "big ticket" item?
all i can say is some watched SOUL PLANE too many times..lol
FINALLY……Black folks can use their food-stamps for something other than alcohol and cigarettes and quarter bags of hot chips. Free hot wings and hot Cheetos with grape kool-aid as Madea strolls the isle. Now you can all stop complaining about how America treats you poorly and you can all fly back to Africa. P.S. PLEASE PURCHASE A ONE WAY TICKET
Hatred! That’s all it is
you hate to see an INTELLIGENT AFRICAN AMERICAN do something better with their life than what your doing. God don’t like ugly. And by the looks of it your pretty ugly to him!
We’re not going anywhere. You stole us, you got us! Seriously, we’re still waiting for you to fly to Canada like you promised to do if Obama got elected. When does that flight leave? Another promise broken.
Or go back to Europe or wherever your people came from. "Native Indians" are the rightful owners of the US. Oh, and how about you get a one-way ticket.
This is an interesting post considering blacks are the ‘minority’. Since it is clear you dropped out of school right after kindergarten, let me explain the definition of ‘minority’ to you. “A relatively small group of people that are discriminated against due to race, color or ethnic group. A smaller number or part and a number that is less than half.” So, it’s mathematically impossible that there are more blacks on government assistance than whites. Educate yourself cyber racist.
FINALLY…..go back to the hole you moles came from before you stole the land from the indians, cause we taking it from you puuuuunc azzzz, AND GIVING IT BACK.
WTF! This is why trailer trash shouldn't be allowed to speak, type or generate some form of thought in this day and age. I am truly surprised you are able to post something on the internet. It is apparent you haven't evolved past the trailer park by making this type of statement. This is a positive thing for everyone. It is not about Black, White, etc. It is about a struggling airline that cheated people for years being bailed out to save face to one day be restored into a great airline. Get off the internet and get a clue.
Billy Bob – yes the name fits you well. If I can't say anything good about a person – I say nothing and with this I have said too much. Yes you are the weakest link- goodbye!!!!!!!

Have you ever tasted hot wings, hot cheetos or grape kool-aid? They're pretty tasty fella. I can't see how a person's selection of foods could be considered offensive. Do better billy, do better. This goes for chicken and watermelon too. Which I, a black man, dont really care for. Imagine that. : ) Anyway Mr. Tang-drinking, casserole eating, land-stealing, school shooting, female-raping Billy Bob. (Yeah, check the stats. Your people are guilty of them all.) Have a wonderful day my fellow American, and hey, have some more spice in your diet! Don't knock it 'til you try it! : )

We are living in the days of REVALATIONS of the BIBLE, to those that read or know about the word of GOD! Satans and his people days are comming to a CLOSE VERY SOON! TIMES ARE CHANGING, to ALL of us that have a SPIRITUAL EYE to see the BIG PIC!
I can tell u a HATING ASS PILGRIM!! And now u mad cuz there is an airline called AFRICAN-AMERICAN AIRLINES!! Ha.. u soon will be the MINORITY!!!

racism reflects ignorance…for a person to type such a comment, your life must truly be terrible!!! I pray for people like you!!!
Finally….you can see your own ignorance….hahahahahaha, that's why in life you will alway lose. LOSER, get a life and stop to trying to catch up with someone through words and prove yourself aloud and not on a computer you COWARD!
I aint mad at you, how bout we just make you a big pitcher of "Hater Aid" cause thats just what you are a Hater. Just mad cause you cant buy a ticket!!!!! Its ignorant people like you that has this world as we know in the messed up position it is in today, what we all need to do is put you and others who think, believe and do what you do on one of them planes and run it into MT. Everest, "billy boy".there are people of all races who "need food stamps"
because of people like you!!!!!
Billy Bob it sounds like you are jealous, hate to see anyone succeed, you are a poor excuse of a man. this world would not be where it is today if it weren't for all people black, white, Mexican, Asians all races. I think what we need to do is send all people who think and act like you to one small island so you can all live among each other. Oh we need to make sure we send all the serial killers One way tickets only. And by the way their are more white people on government assistance then blacks.
Haters going to hate
@BILLY BOB: You OBVIOUSLY don't know our true history(Not the covered up one, the noses chopped off from the Statues in Egypt Histoy/Joseph History etc) anyways, you will learn that we are not as worthless as you wish to think, this is all almost over……also, If you stop bringing your drugs into our areas, stop building your liquor stores in our areas, if you replace the nasty chinese poison food chains/McDonalds/KFC in our areas with Organic Health Food Stores and let us build our own communities up, we'll be fine believe me. Stop pursuing when we flee and stop stealing everyones resources…You're only good for stealing other ppls survival resources, killing and lying…that sounds worthless to me. Good for nothings.
you old cracker ass moutha fucker come to Columbus ohio and say that in my hood
Would you then fly back to Europe, one way ticket? Since there is no such thing as a white american. You´re Europeans. Please, please pretty pleeeeease read some history.
Just sayin'
Bless!
If he did….GOOD for him….the man got vision…
of course this is a hoax! Why would Tyler Perry want to purchase an airline or more succinctly, a bloated, debt ridden, poorly run corporation. Perhaps to fly off to this island that he purchased a few months ago. This is an IQ test; and many of you failed it. As far as the racist comments made by Billie Bob, maybe you would be better off letting your girlfriend (sister) do the speaking, while you focus on your GED. Those history classes you skipped sure would have been helpful. "Back to Africa" who says that? Next time you get a day off from working the McDonalds at Walmart, stop bu a library & research the history of slavery. Have your sister read the big words..moron!
You GO Miss Karen! I like your style, GIRL!
Most black folks take the bus anyway. They can't afford a plane ticket with their welfare check.
hata
Let's all show love! One may be down today, but up another. You never know where you will be later! The one youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu hurt may be a help to you someday…
hater….haha
You know with an old name like Lucinda, i'm going to take it for granted that you are an old bitter white woman with no education, who has lived in the boot hills, with no indoor plumbing, missing teeth, and sitting on a porch in a rocking chair with a confederate flag haning from your porch. Sorry to disappoint, the majority of people on food stamps and WELFARE are your people, the WHITE FOLKS. Get a grip
I be takin my black azz on dat plane wit my white ho. We be goin to da casino. I got a crack pipe in my mouth i be holdin wit my teef.
Eventualy the economy goons will die out or wont want trillions of dollars so eventualy everything in taxes and value will go down this might help but for how long is just not black folk who cant afford a ticket theres also whit mexican canadian german italian russian name it ull see it oh ya im 10 and i know this ppl that are 35 dont gosh y cant we just all get along.
This is clearly not real
well it is
African american airlinea???? Are we fucking serious people!!!!!!! Talk about reverse racisim. How can consumers not come together and boycott this bullshit airlines. Something needs to be done asap in order to stop people like tyler perry from corrupting our youths minds about race , respect and proper use of position of power
Just like BET i mean there would be a fucking major crisis if we had the whiteman express airlines or whites only entertainment channel or WET. why do african americans even make such a big fucking deal about race or being black anyways. I thought race wasnt supposed to matter??? Wasnt that the whole deal back in the hay days? Get a fucking clue you ignorant assholes just cuz your black, doesnt give you the rite to say anything. Just like cuz im a jew doesnt mean i have the rite to say shit about germans cuz it happend to people in my past family just like that shity stuff happend to others ancestors. If everyone just stopped the ignorance and bullshit we would all be better off.
Stop it?! I'm just a little perplexed…it seems you're contributing to it by you're comments? It really amazes me that in this day an age we still can't form a thought without cursing to express how we feel. And just to let you know…back in those "hay days" as you put it, there were plenty of white only areas that neither black nor Jew could partake of…just saying!

Looking for other cool headed, brilliant, and disciplined black people to take over wall street from these so dubious paper-money freaks kkk who have turned the lives upside down for majority of Americans. Hey Christopher Columbus, the Indians are coming and they are soliciting the help of the black folks!
Do you actually believe that bullshit? God you people (racist against whites) are so fucking clueless you take any reason or anything possible to take a stab at whites its sickening. Dr.king would probly spit in all your fuckig faces. I would too
Does anyone realize that a major majority of the slaves sold to slave ships were sold by african tribe leaders ,kings etc. Africans sold their own peoPle into slavory not in every instance but it happened. And now even tho all people from the 60′s and before couldnt except people w diff. Olored skin means that eery white person is a racist?? You people are so fucking stupid and need to look into the history books before you justify your reverse racisim. Lol african americans have a hard time not calling themselfs the N word and ya know what us jews dont walk around calling eachother Kikes cuz we are the smartest people alive. And referig to yourself as a racial slur is just beyond incompitant and stuuuuuuuuuuupid. Thats like jews blaming the germans and nazis for everything bad that happend to us. Blacks had it bad but jews had it just as bad or worse. We were the ORIG. People who lived in real ghettos that didnt have wellfare we had gas chambers and slave jobs with no pay and no food and no nothig but certain death. So fuck you stupid ass african assholes who dont have a clue. Grow up and move on barley anyone who is alive in america now adays was alive during slave era or supported it so.
Wow I can really tell how smart Jewish people are by the grammar you're using…hmmm! Really would this even be considered an intelligent response. One suggestion, prior to tearing down another race or trying to compare the hardships between Jewish and African American people, learn how to conveys an intelligent thought. If we are to assume that all Jewish people are smart…since by your thoughts, "they are the smartest people in the world"…do the Jews you represent a favor and go back to 3rd grade and learn how to complete a sentence…just saying!
actually slavery happened before ww2….so you must not be jewish seeing as they are "the smartest people in the world" you should tell your mom to go on one of those shows to find out who your father is…..
You clearly arent as educated or as smart as you claim to be buddy. Allow me to correct you on a few points…What occured in africa was what we refer to as indentured servitude, as I am sure you are familiar with the term since you are so smart. That my friend is a lot different then laboring the most ridicoulous hours of the day and not being fed cared for and beaten. And that is the reason other africans sold their own people, because they believed that the European system was the same. Get your head out of those 9th grade textbooks and read a real book and learn something.
Second of all, if you look even deeper you will find that the "N" word as you put it has a lot more history then the word kike. The "N" word, root word NGR pronounced (Net-ger), In the african language because there are no vowels, was actually used amongst all darker skin people in Egypt to address their Pharaoh, the word was seen as a sign of power since the Pharaoh was the representation of the sun and the sun god and as you know the original Pharaohs were black Africans. The first people to corrupt the term "N-G-R" were the Roman invaders of Egypt who may have heard the term used to describe the leader of Egypt or Nubia. The term "Niger" was later used to mean any Black/Negroid person that the Romans saw in Africa or anywhere else. and so on and so forth, the spanish colonists turned it into "negro" and the slave owners turned it into "Nigger" it is now "Nigga" which is used throughout the black community and that isn't a racial slur, its been conjugated many times but its original form is powerful. So you do your research on that.
Again what jews are you talking about, you have to be specific here…Though I'm not that old, If my memory serves me right from research over 5 million Falasha (African Jews) in ethiopia were exterminated at the hand of Mussolini…and trust me it doesnt stop their, ask yourself this, if the original jews were black, and we know how they were treated throughout history how do you then say "we jews" or "you people" when black and jewish were once one in the same. you should open up those same books you are telling everyone else to because you sound dumb.
And for your last statement which was probably the dumbest and most over used in america today, "you guys weren't around for slavery" bullshit, we were or are descendants and kids of those people who were around in the 80's when Ronald Reagan was president. Are you aware of the Iran/Contra Affair, how Reagan was caught creating an illegal arms race to fund the Contras in defense of the Communist Sandinistas? after he and his cronies were caught they were told to no longer offer support to the Contra's and had all funds cut off by congress, after that failed attempt they resorted to putting cocaine from nicaragua into black neighborhoods in los angeles to fund their freedom fighters. Did you grasp that whole concept? to fight communism or let me rephrase that, to be "patriotic" our government introduced an otherwise unattainable substance to the less fotunate neighborhoods of the world and used the money for weapons, uniforms and all of the above. Do you know the affect cocaine and now crack has had on the african american community. Do you know that as high as 80-90% of the african american inmates in crowded prisons in california (which has the most prisons in the nation) are in there for "non vioent" drug related crimes, this means they are they are there for either selling it because there is a lack of resoruces or on it. you also know what happens when you go to prison right, upon your release you dont have a place of employment, so if you cant make money, provide for yourself or your family in a poor neighborhood what do you think you resort to, crime and that lands your where? you guessed it, back in jail…its an endless cycle, and another control system (just like slavery if you will) that the government has perpetuated to keep african americans where they are.
Wow lots of racism and hatred for a comedy article. You people screaming about BET and whatnot really have some issues…
Tyler, you help the people that is your actors and actresses. I needed help from you since you able and been extremely bless by me and others. You would not even begun to miss 2,240. to retain my van from going to auction. I have over 4,000.00 handicap equioment was install in that van in 2009. They took my scooter out and clean the van for to auction, because I owe that balance. Can't pay it. You want even help a sister out to retain nthe only transportation I have. If I could get that money to them before Thursday 5, you can make me happy person on earth, just like you was the happiest man to see your dream came true for your one true Love, your mother. Be happy again and help me and let God further increase your blessing. I;m not on drugs. Pray about it and let the Holy Spirit guide to all truth amen. Happy New Year.2012.
I think it is great that he has the ability, the funds and the courage to purchase the airlines. We need more people with a no tolerance for any type of discrimination. May GOD continue to bless you as you continue to give others a chance to work, be productive and make people like me something to smile about.
