"Video: the rarely seen racism/animal abuse combination."


          

Rarely seen but probably often perpetuated by Karens in the wild.

The circumstances under which they call the cops on black people change, and the levels of entitlement and fragility keep rising ... but the post-incident bullshit stays the exact same. As if they all have the same "How to Diffuse Your Obvious Racism" pamphlet at home. "I'm not racist, that's not me, I was just scared ..." etc. etc. etc.


>All praises to that dude for keeping a completely level head

No doubt. Scary as hell. How he didn't flip is beyond me.

FUCK HER SO MUCH for switching up her voice to sound terrified that last time, so very fucked up of her because it sounded like she was in increasingly dangerous danger and that is just so fucked up because based on how scared she sounded I wouldn't have been shocked if, had there been cops nearby, they arrived immediately ready to kill.

Also it just kills me that she did all the lying KNOWING she was being recorded.

What a bitch.

They know that even if they're on video CLEARLY making up stories, clearly lying and being horrible racists, that they are 100% safe from any kind of retribution by police or anyone. And that the only person who will suffer is the black person. And that's their goal.

Interestingly enough, turns out the dude that told the woman to put the dog on the leash was bird watching. I had no clue that was a serious hobby, but I suppose you learn something new everyday.

and clearly was partaking in his hobby. Also - he wasn't concerned about her dog being unleashed because he just likes to play neighborhood cop. Dogs unleashed damage and disturb bird nesting habitats - particularly ground nests. So he was concerned about that - as he should've been as an avid bird watcher. I believe that park boasts something like 250 unique bird species.

I'm glad he was recording so that we all can see what a horrible human display she put on.

And not to mention, there is an entire other part of the park where she could've had her dogg off leash at that time, legally.

Yall gotta read this. Dude comes prepared...



"The two went back-and-forth about the dog leash. Christian Cooper, according to his Facebook post, then told her: "Look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it."

"I didn't know what that meant. When you're alone in a wooded area, that's absolutely terrifying, right?" Amy Cooper said.

Christian Cooper said he then pulled out dog treats. He told CNN he keeps dog treats with him to get dog owners to put their dogs on leashes because, in his experience, dog owners hate when a stranger feeds their dog treats and immediately restrain their dogs afterward.

Amy Cooper said he was throwing them at her dog. Christian Cooper said he never threw any treats.

And that's when he started recording the incident, he said on Facebook."

his opening quotes though, tactics wise.

He for sure was not threatening her, just trying to teach her a lesson for sure, but “if you don’t do what I like I’m gonna do something you don’t like” just isn’t the move to say to a woman alone in a park.

Just posting this link for the Christian Cooper screencap not whatever the tweet says, which I think is trying to defend the woman which is bullshit:

I'm just saying though, even the correct quote doesn't really sound great lol.

The whole reason I came across this whole thought process is I had read that he had graduated from Harvard and already had the treats with him just so he could teach lessons to dog owners who weren't following the leash rules, and that he was a bird watcher who was on the NYC Audubon Society board and I thought to myself "See? This racist ass bitch. This nice guy was just doing the right thing, trying to get her to leash her dog after pointing out nicely that the area they were both in was leash-only by law".

And then I thought to myself "Hmmm. I know all that stuff now, but how would I feel if I didn't know any of that extra stuff, that makes him sound totally great and normal (which he is)? And some dude was trying to lure my dog after saying he was about to do something he knew I wouldn't like? And didn't just walk on by or call the cops himself when I didn't comply with his simple and polite request?"

Again, can't say it enough, she's a racist bitch who absolutely if she truly felt threatened would have high tailed it out of there not stood around calling the cops and sounding truly frighted on the phone when clearly she wasn't but I guess my overall point isn't really about her reaction because it was racist and completely wrong and she was aiming to get him murdered by cops which is just inexcusable, just more about tactics men probably shouldn't take against single women in lonely places.

AGAIN, she was very racist and very wrong though.

Edit to add: I guess it is weird for me, simultaneously being in the position of being full of rage as a Black person, at a fragile racist white woman who was surely aiming to get this Black man murdered by the cops, while also somewhat being surprised a man would say something like that to a woman...Yes he is totally awesome and seems like a great guy and was only doing it to teach her to leash her damn dog, but I still find it maybe not the best tactic when it is just one man and one woman alone in a park.

AGAIN not saying her racist ass should have called the cops.

although I disagree. I can't knock you for seeing it like that.

The reasons for my disagreement are as follows...
First, gotta be clear that this all starts b/c she's breaking the rules and thinks they don't apply to her for whatever reason.

He's familiar with this situation, having encountered it many times, and that's why he handles it the way he does. Meaning, that's why he has the treats and doesn't simply call and wait on the cops (the CNN story says they were both gone from the scene when the cops showed up). If they didn't even show up quickly enough for a white woman's distressed call about a black man supposedly attacking her, they definitely wouldn't show up quick enough for his call about a dog destroying nests and frightening birds off.

But about the main point concerning what he said (doing something she won't like). He immediately revealed that to be dog treats (the horror!) lol. Now for a split second IF he didn't already have the treat in his hand (lol, this sounds so silly to type), that may have sounded terrifying to her, but after he pulls out a dog treat, all fear is gone. By the time he starts recording, she already knows he's not threat at all and is acting out of pure racist entitlement. BUT, let's agree that he could've worded it differently. He could've just said "If you're gonna let your dog run around, I'm gonna give him treats." Ok, cool. No mystery about his actions, but it doesn't highlight the fact that she's acting privileged and entitled like "If you're gonna do what you want" does. I also hesitate to think "oh he means rape" by saying he's also gonna do what he wants, because given historical classifications of black men, people will say that because he's a black man, not just because he's a man. At the end of slavery, we were said to go from child to rapist by so-called scientists of the day. Those attitudes persist. I refuse to feed them. He was talking about treats. Amy knew it, we know it. Everybody knows it. She wasn't afraid.

Of course I think men should be mindful of how we approach women. I'm a black man, so I'm hyper conscious of this. I just think he handled it in pretty much the most thoughtful and practical way possible considering the circumstances. Analyzing this on grounds of what scary thing he could've meant by what he said also only gives her an unfair out that the racist majority will run with.

101. "I wrote this out yesterday and it better explains my feelings:"
In response to Reply # 14
Fri May-29-20 07:59 AM by lightworks

          

(Not that anyone has to of course agree with my viewpoint just thought I would share since it is better explained than what I originally wrote)

I’ve been thinking about this for a few days and I just find it all so interesting and so unfortunate.

First off what Amy did was totally racist and ridiculous and she deserves everything that has come her way by way of job loss and dog loss.

By sounding truly hysterical on the call to police she essentially in my mind was calling for them to murder Mr. Cooper and that is just so extremely wrong and truly shocking.

There to me though is, wedged somewhere in there deep below the surface of this obviously racist act, something to be said about Mr. Cooper’s extremely poor tactics.

In no way shape or form did he deserve someone calling the police on him and making up lies but I don’t think trying to force someone to do something by way of fear is the right tactic.

Once he asked Amy to leash her dog and she said no he should have either called some type of law enforcement or left her alone.

I totally understand that he meant well and is on the board of the Audubon Society and truly only cares about making sure the birds are safe but she didn’t know any of that when he said he was gonna do something she didn’t like and then tried to call her dog over.

I think the goal should be teaching her about how her dog running around is damaging for the birds, not having her so afraid of some man giving her dog treats (which for all she knows has poison in it) that she leashes her dog out of fear.

Again, in no way was Mr. Cooper deserving of Amy’s racist actions but I wish he would have gone about trying to get her to leash her dog in a different and more positive manner.

At the same time, I'm deliciously delighted that this particularly brand of:

- white woman tears
- white privilege
- wanton disrespect and dismissal of black lives and bodies
- weaponizing blackness

... was on full display so that at least a few will finally see -- and hopefully understand -- what the fuck we be talking about. We can't even bird watch without having our lives threatened.

Fuck her and her whole life.

This behavior ain't new and it continues (and continues to be defended) so I've no faith in folks willingness to actually get it, generally.

But if a few of them do, and change their behavior -- or at least their awareness -- and that brother is alright, then it will be worth it.

But still...fuck her and her whole life. The long way.

47. "LOL, I had a friend who's dad was a bird watcher"
In response to Reply # 45


  

          

in high school, I suppose it is pretty obscure but for some reason I'm surprised how surprised some people I know and a couple folks in this thread are that that's a thing. Moreso I guess where I am, since a big part of Midwestern recreation is just going outside and finding something all the nothing.


It was always weird going to her house, she was clearly finding herself in homosexuality but her parents couldn't accept it and also clearly wanted me to be her boyfriend, so they'd make us dinners in secret and insist we sit for them. The dining room table had a huge window on one side that they explained people usually weren't sat in front of because "Paul likes to take a moment to appreciate the avians." A couple different times he'd stop us during dinner and point out the window at something in the distance and explain what I wasn't seeing; once he even walked me over to the window to explain how remarkable it was that he had this bird perching on a certain type of tree in his backyard at that time of year. I would probably never see another of that bird in that tree in my life unless I took up the hobby and really applied myself.


I was a stoner, gamer-ass kid contemplating dropping out of high school so I found it all profoundly funny, goofy, and/or lame at the time, but it's funny the things that you still remember vividly and learn to be really appreciative of later. Though I'll still never see the appeal in this specific hobby personally.

I’ll never forget the Black farmer who said he was more scared of the liberal white women than the southern redneck because the white women were the ones always calling cops when he delivered food in their neighborhood.

This pandemic is a prime example of white people showing their ass when being told what to do.

mayor pete supporter.

based on this sloppily researched *opinion* piece.
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/amy-cooper-central-park-racist-dog-walker-trump-a9533581.html

basically they saw that *an* amy cooper in ny (of which there are many) made contributions to dem candidates. and they just decided that was the same amy cooper. even tho her description doesnt match the profile of the woman in the park.
https://www.truthorfiction.com/amy-cooper-donations-barack-obama-pete-buttigieg-john-kerry/

this was even included in the opinion piece to let you know how shitty the journalism was:
-----
There’s a chance the Amy Cooper we see in that viral video may not be the same Amy Cooper whose details were leaked onto social media — but as a New York City resident, she’s still statistically much likely to be a Democrat than a Republican, and the conversation about white liberal racism is long overdue.
-----

but overzealous lefties ignore it just so they can dunk on an establishment dem via a supposed supporter (they hated when people linked the steve scsalise shooter to bernie tho).

i swear that end of the spectrum is like 1 degree away from fox news viewers. theyll run with any narrative as long as it reinforces the thinking in their bubble. they dont even care about vetting information/sources anymore.

54. "A PD from Manhattan had some decent messaging in Wapo today"
In response to Reply # 52


  

          

"Some might say the Central Park video is evidence of a criminal legal system that’s “broken.” But after years spent representing thousands of New Yorkers in court, I can attest that the reality is worse: The system is working the way it was designed to work — protecting the wealthy, connected, powerful and white, while disenfranchising already-marginalized communities of color.

What can be done? Certainly, end cash bail. We cannot allow people to sit in jail for months on end on the basis of an accusation — not when we can see with our own eyes how easy it is for this to happen.

But that only deals with one consequence of privilege. The privilege itself will be far harder to address.

There are two different sets of rules in our criminal legal system. White Americans live every day with the privilege of knowing that they can call 911 and get help. For poor people and people of color, calling for help when in danger presents a new set of risks — including the risk that they won’t be believed by police or that they’ll be charged with falsely reporting a crime.

What if false-reporting charges were brought in cases like this one? That would send a very different message. To tip the scales, there needs to be accountability for playing the privilege card.

But we can’t stop there. Our real duty is to renew our commitment to creating a very different system of justice — where a black man, falsely accused, can feel safe even without a viral video."

Certain people need to be educated, trained, whatever - given a chance to rehabilitate. Matt Lauer loses his job? Fuck that guy, he got his checks he can find his way.


But your everyday salaryperson, or part-time worker, should maybe not be put on social death row right away unless they've committed actual crimes.


I get that this is a situation that easily could've resulted in unnecessary death, but so does the man who survived the encounter. If he can find empathy for her, shouldn't the general public, or at the very least her employer?


I also get not wanting to be associated with this sort of person, so I don't know what the best answer is. But oftentimes I feel like the answer is a lot more than the question asked for - I always think back to that lady firing off the wild tweets from her flight several years ago who landed in a foreign country (right?) without her job and blacklisted from all kinds of social media. That's terrifying, even if she was garbage.

Buuut the minute I even feel a speck of sympathy I think to myself "Naaaaaah she tried to have a Black man murdered, no one deserves to be forced to work with a trash human being such as her"

I take your overall point for sure but the actions that she displayed that got her fired are so inexcusable to me I have to stan for her bosses (well, former lol).

First of all, she's white. Could just stop there.

But beyond just that, the country will move on to the next story by next week, and some company will like her resume and be willing to overlook her little white crime. Shit I wouldn't be shocked if her original company just hired her back once this all blows over.

In response to Reply # 75


          

She's VERY lucky it's only her job. She should be charged with a crime of some kind even if it's just lying on the 911 call.

>in unnecessary death


And if you understand that it was very intentional on her part, then you understand everything that needs to be understood here.

And like Brew said, she's probably not stuck flipping burgers at Wendy's to pay her bills long term.

I could convince myself she should be charged for attempted murder if I let myself take that walk mentally (and that walk is, like, down the block).

It's probably just the service industry person in me, but people that suck are still people to me, and I don't like the idea of someone's life being ruined because they're awful.

But then, of course...

Not saying he should but that's the only thing that makes sense to me in terms of him feeling bad about it.

I wonder if maybe he feels like "Yep, she was aiming to get me murdered by police and that sucks but maybe once she said she wasn't going to leash him maybe I should have left it alone".

That's what normal people feel when something they were even minimally involved with ruins someone else's entire life.

Meanwhile, had the cops actually come and taken Christian Cooper away, AMY Cooper would've gone about her day without a second thought about it. Because she's a terrible person.

And maybe I'm a terrible person too, because I'm just short of throwing a fucking (quarantine-appropriate) party over this chick's misery.

93. "My bad"
In response to Reply # 92


          

I misread her hot take

I get so used to watching her consistently shit on black people that I just jumped the gun

Thanks for taking the time from your ass eating post to help me out.

My bad, lightworks. I fundamentally disagree with you on this matter. He's allowed to feel however he wants to feel as the shit happened to him and it is his opinion on the matter. But I did misunderstand your point

A lot of you players ain't okay.

We would have been better off with an okaycivics board instead of an okayactivist board

Could've just apologized without taking a completely unnecessary shot at her, but I'm familiar with your maturity level from your unprovoked namecalling with other posters.

Surprise, another attempt at a completely unnecessary shot. Th "All About Nina" post isn't my post, but I did reply to it. Seems you do a lot of misreading.

Oh you are? Then you'd know the namecalling you're referring to wasn't unprovoked.

Oops, again my bad. I confuse your handle w/ Buddy.

For that shot I do apologize, sincerely.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
