【fingering videos】

Freelance e-sports journalist Amanda Stephens boarded a United Airlines flight on fingering videosWednesday to cover a tournament in Chicago, but never got off the ground -- at least, not on her original flight.

Her trouble began with the pilot.

Stephens was wearing a hat emblazoned with the logo of Marvel Comics' Black Panther and a t-shirt sporting an upside-down American flag, and flight staff told her that both these articles of clothing made the pilot "uncomfortable."

Then she was told the hat would have to go, too.

And now I am being told I can't wear my hat @united this is unreal and fucking racist pic.twitter.com/338GyYDa97

United staff soon booted Stevens off the flight, according to Stevens' tweets, but its Twitter team tried to intervene.

@sagegnosis Amanda, could you please DM your confirmation number and MileagePlus information? We'd like to follow-up on this. ^KV

Stevens was booked on a separate flight and got to Chicago just fine, but not before the world was beginning to see what had happened to her.

Many tweeted in support.

But plenty of folks attacked her for what she wore, too.

@sagegnosis just dress like an adult and avoid all this stuff.

In the end, though, Stevens got a tweet from Ta-Nehisi Coates, who writes for The Atlantic, recently won a National Book Award for "Between the World and Me," and authored a new series of Black Panther comics.

That tweet, Stephens said, made the whole thing alright.
