One of the nation’s biggest airlines has been called into the spotlight after a Black father was accused of trafficking his own children on a flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles earlier in September.

David Ryan Harris, a musician who has collaborated with the likes of John Mayer, Carlos Santana and the Dave Matthews Band, recently took to social media to tell his story, and ask for people to “do better” after the incident rattled his family.

Harris says that he was aboard an American Airlines flight two weeks ago, heading to LAX with his two biracial sons, Truman and Hendrix. As they were de-boarding the plane, they found four police officers waiting for them at the gate.

“Apparently, a flight attendant had called ahead with some sort of concern that perhaps my mixed children weren’t my children,” Harris said in a video posted on his social media accounts. “We are met, embarrassingly so, by this AA employee and police officers. They questioned my kids.”

      Sorry, I could a been more clear. I don’t think the flight attendant has any idea what trafficking looks like and was merely looking to become a hero in someone’s story. And, I’m kinda over people fucking up good people’s days.
