Bird Watching While Black

Post by _MeDotOrg »

Asking people to keep their dog on a leash while bird watching now warrants a call to the New York Police Department.

A 56 year old African American male was bird watching a a thickly wooded part of Central Park called the Ramble. A woman had her dog off-leash, which was not allowed in the area. The man asked the woman to put her dog back on the leash. She refused. He started filming her with his camera while she called the police.

Please watch the video.

What is interesting is the fear of the woman, which is palpable. The man is obviously the victim, but the woman is a prisoner of her racism. Her fear and her anger control her.

The primary victim of racism is the recipient of the views, but the people who hold those views are also victims of those views.

She and her dog are being threatened. Meanwhile she's hanging the damn dog.

Look up his reported conversation with her. He did make a statement that could be construed as threatening. Still, if I felt threatened I wouldn't walk towards the man or stop to make the call. I'd beat it the heck out of there. Then make the call.

I missed that. What did he say that could be construed as threatening?

Any chance this woman was just a nasty wench using the police as her means to bully someone who crossed her path when she was clearly suffering from PMS? Why does it always have to be rooted in race? It's hard for me to believe she wouldn't have used the "call the police," weapon if the man were white. She probably has done this before and gotten her way especially if it were a white man just by playing the gender card. Liberal women need to learn that the race card always Trump's the gender card. If she were taught that properly in her ivory tower liberal elite high school she might still have her perfect job in her beautiful New York City plantation.

I'm surprised even Schmo was too thick to realize this woman was more than likely a liberal. Look how militant she was! The feminist social justice warrior overtone of the whole encounter stunk to high heaven. Using the politically correct term "African American," should have been a clue she was no southern belle. Schmo says his views are center

Schmo says his views are centered in reality. The fog of his bias is so thick he can't even see a feminist SJW liberal when one is presented on his computer screen before him.

What am I your secretary?

It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFzwoUH6cTc&t=47s

Here it is copied directly from his Facebook and I'll bold the statement I referred to:
Christian Cooper
Yesterday at 9:34 AM ·
Central Park this morning: This woman's dog is tearing through the plantings in the Ramble.

ME: Ma'am, dogs in the Ramble have to be on the leash at all times. The sign is right there.
HER: The dog runs are closed. He needs his exercise.
ME: All you have to do is take him to the other side of the drive, outside the Ramble, and you can let him run off leash all you want.
HER: It's too dangerous.
ME: 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.
HER: What's that?
ME (to the dog): Come here, puppy!
HER: He won't come to you.
ME: We'll see about that...

I pull out the dog treats I carry for just for such intransigence. I didn't even get a chance to toss any treats to the pooch before Karen scrambled to grab the dog.

HER: DON'T YOU TOUCH MY DOG!!!!!

That's when I started video recording with my iPhone, and when her inner Karen fully emerged and took a dark turn...
