Migos Kicked Off Delta Flight, Then Given Entire Plane After Manager Says They Were Racially Profiled
Looks like Takeoff from the Migos was prevented from doing just that on Friday.

Spider-Man: Homecoming Diversity Push Makes No Spidey-Sense
Spider-Man: Homecoming has a lot of heavy lifting to do for one movie.
