A vacation in Kenya went left for activist Brittany Packnett ‏and political commentator Symone Sanders. On Thursday, Packnett posted a series of tweets outing a Kenya Airways passenger who attacked her and Sanders. She said the man threw water at her and attacked the two women.

"Here is a picture of the white man who cussed at us for asking him to quiet down and then THREW WATER ON ME and tried to fight me and @SymoneDSanders in the @KenyaAirways Simba lounge. @Delta," she captioned her tweet.

In another tweet, Packnett said an attendant tried to calm the man. After the attendant called security, the man charged at Packnett and Sanders in the Kenya Airways Simba Lounge. The attacker "walked over and doused me with water as I was sitting," she said.

She also noted the man attempted to charge her until Sanders pushed him back. Other men stood nearby in their defense.

After he assaulted me, he attempted to charge me. @SymoneDSanders jumped in and she and I pushed him back.

A handful of men who had been witnessing his bad behavior all night stood up and came over.

They are the only reason he is quiet-but he has NOT been removed.

Packnett called Delta, the partner company to Kenya Airways. She identified the assailant as Ducan Conrad Hockey, a British citizen. In another tweet, she mentioned "security took nearly 30 minutes to arrive."

Also, @delta & @KenyaAirways, his name is Duncan Conrad Hockey. He’s a British citizen and is absolutely violent against women.

He should not be allowed to board your flight.

I repeat: Duncan Conrad Hockey of the UK assaulted me the @KenyaAirways lounge tonight. @KenyaAirways is a member of the @Delta skyteam.

Security took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. This is unacceptable. https://t.co/LT21vd3kC8

As Blavity previously reported, comedian Gary Owen called out Delta for allegedly racially profiling his wife. The 44-year-old said his wife and daughter were mistreated on Sunday. His wife was asked if she was in first class while standing in the priority line to board the Cincinnati Airport flight. No other passengers were questioned about their first-class status.

The police have been called. He’s not on my flight. We’re leaving now.

The adrenaline has worn off and the soreness from having to fight a white man off of me is definitely setting in now.

This is going to be a long flight, and this situation is still not fully resolved.

The police were eventually called, and Packnett reported soreness in another tweet from having to fight the man off of her. Sanders updated her followers with a tweet saying the man was arrested.

"UPDATE: He is being arrested and we are getting on our flight. Honestly, this was just so unfortunate and I hope @Delta and Kenyan Airways get better systems in place. I was so terrified. Grateful for the Good Samaritans in the lounge. Onward and to the light," she wrote.

After the traumatic ordeal, Packnett, unfortunately, was "reminded that Black women can never be victims in some folks eyes" after racist Twitter users countered her claims.

I’ll be damned if I came all the way to Africa to be attacker by a white man.

— Brittany Packnett (@MsPackyetti) March 28, 2019

I’m also reminded that black women can never be victims in some folks eyes.

My mentions are full of these. pic.twitter.com/0FmezxtLii

Peep the ignorance:

It is only white people who pull the ‘why do you have to make it about race??’ card because it isn’t a factor in our lives, it’s not a reason we are persecuted, we‘re just privileged by default. How many black people, not aggressive or threatening, u think had this same leniency?

— Amy (@Burtini) March 28, 2019

Why do you feel the need to point out his skin color?

— Dan0h1970 (@danohhhh1) March 28, 2019

So if a black man did that would you have posted this or it's only because he's white? So if you cuss at a black person if you are white it's a crime now talk about victimization ????

— J-TIN FOIL (@foil1214) March 28, 2019

What does his color have to do with anything? Are you saying that there is no chance that no black guy would ever do the same?

— Kasha Tucker (@KashaTTucker) March 28, 2019

Just by calling this guy out as a WHITE MAN, along with your other remarks, is a clear indication of your racism. Try demonstrating Love next time instead of a hateful, bad attitude. Delta will pay dearly I'm sure. And that white man will as well. Hate them loud-ass white men! ????

— Tom Voche' (@TomVoitier) March 29, 2019

This is racist as hell, ma'am. Maybe he's a racist, too. I can't tell from two pics…but you're the one making an issue out of the color of his skin. The issue isn't his race, he is just an @$$hole!

Leave race out of it if you actually want racial relations to improve!

— Gentleman Jon (@GentlemanJonD) March 29, 2019

Not sure why you have to qualify every person involved by the color of their skin…does nothing but promote division and disdain for people that don't look like us. We are all brothers and sisters, let's avoid the race baiting next time please?

— Marc Anderson (@marcatdel) March 29, 2019

We can see that he’s white. Why did you have to say so? Was there also a black man that assaulted you and you were merely using the adjective to distinguish them? Or have you been on @shaunking’s Twitter for to long?

— TheWokestTakes (@wokest_the) March 28, 2019

What did you do to him?

— ProducerLincoln (@LincolnProducer) March 28, 2019

Do much, much better, Delta.
