Implications
Emmit had a fairly good idea of what that was really about, as well as what the lady was attempting to say, by this moment. But because of his skin color, he did not want to believe she was judging him. How could there be someone in this day and age that thought he was a second-class citizen? He couldn’t truly believe it. Still, he did not want to make any precipitous assertions or judgments. He was starting to second-guess himself. Perhaps that woman didn’t mean to come across it that way. However the more he thought about it the more he became bemused.

Rude
He gently explained that first of all, he had been waiting in line and he was not planning on moving. Just like everybody else, she would have to wait. Maybe she was merely under the stress of flying? He had not thought so. Taking a look at the rude woman’s clothes, she also didn’t look like she was especially well-dressed. He didn’t want to reach that conclusion, but he wasn’t able to prevent it. That’s what got the whole room to clap for him in his rebuttal.
