NAACP official alleges Amtrak conductor asked her to give up her seat
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund President Sherrilyn Ifill said despite there being no assigned seats on the train, a conductor asked her to move.

Oh noz! It's Rosa Parks nigger all over again.
Chimp out imminent. Skkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee!


The head of the NAACP's Legal Defense and Educational Fund is looking for answers after she claims an Amtrak employee asked her to give up her seat on the train to accommodate someone else, on the weekend of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Sherrilyn Ifill garnered support on social media Friday after she tweeted about the incident, claiming a conductor asked her to move with no explanation on her train ride out of Washington D.C. to Baltimore on Friday. Although her tweet was liked by nearly 50,000 accounts and retweeted more than 11,000 times, Ifill said she didn't hear back from Amtrak until nearly a full day later.

"There are no assigned seats on this train," she said in her original tweet Friday. "The conductor has asked me to leave my seat because she has 'other people coming who she wants to give this seat.' Can you please explain?"
Social media users were perturbed by the incident and showed support for Ifill in numerous responses, some even comparing the incident to when civil rights icon Rosa Parks was told to move to the back of the bus in 1955.
