An African American Passenger travelling to the Dominican Republic was thrown out of a plane after sneezing and jokingly saying he is from Africa. His statement caused Ebola panic among passengers and the airplane crew and caused authorities to isolate the plane for more than an hour on the tarmac. According to NBC news, as the plane touched down in the Dominican Republic, he sneezed and yelled out, “I have Ebola...I’ve been to Africa!,”...
The flight attendants immediately alerted Health officials who came in full protective gear(above) and bundled him out of the plane . Despite his pleas that he was joking and had never been to Africa, he was whisked away. He kept yelling "I ain't from Africa. Shit!"as the fellow passengers hurled insults in him.
Even our fellow black brother is STIGMATISING Africa - the motherland. And ALL because certain African states have failed to deliver and save lives of their OWN ill and dying citizens! It can only get worse.

It is quite foolish of him to joke with something as deadly as Ebola,some people just want to crack jokes,they do not mind the effect the joke will have on others.
