I did a quick search through articles on this incident, and there are a lot of them, but not one stated the race of the conductor. Ms. Ifill isn't saying it's a race incident anywhere that I can find. I suspect the conductor may well have been black but the headlines are very suggestive that this is a race based incident. Doesn't matter if the conductor was black, Ms. Ifill and the media know the power of headlines, the details don't matter, people see a black woman (Rosa Parks wannabe?) denied a seat on a train and assume it's racist in nature. Just add it to the long list of race hoaxes we are inflicted with on a daily basis.
Do they even have conductors on Amtrak?
