The president of North Carolina's NAACP chapter was removed from an American Airlines flight after he responded to a passenger who made remarks referring to him as 'those people'.

Reverend William Barber said he was removed from a flight from Reagan National Airport in Washington DC headed to Raleigh-Durham on Friday.

The passenger criticized Barber's need for two airline seats, even though the minister purchased the two to accommodate his physical disability, the Bradenton Herald reported.

No charges were filed according to a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
