She was a bit out of line, but I don't necessarily see racism, my guess she'd have acted the same was if a white man was videoing her without her permission. Probably would have described him a fat, or tall. I certainly don't see her employer terminating her over this unless there have been incidents implying racism. And no, a black woman walking her dog off leash and being taped by a white man wouldn't be fired. Nor a Muslim, nor a Native, nor a woman from Wuhan.
For me, the way she treated her dog is the Big Deal here.
The video out of Central Park is racism, plain and simple.
She called the police BECAUSE he was a Black man. Even though she was the one breaking the rules. She decided he was the criminal and we know why.
This kind of hatred has no place in our city.

Oh come on now mayor.
Has anyone gone on Online and changed her Party Affiliation to Republican yet?
Any Photoshopped pictures of her at a Trump Rally holding up a Nazi Flag yet?
People and their freakin dogs. Completely lose all their sense when it comes to their ‘cute buddy’ that in the end, basically satisfies some primal urge to control other living things. A true master and slave relationship.
I have no idea if she is a racist or not. I do know that she used racism as a tool to manipulate and control. She’s a nasty, nasty piece of work. I have no doubt that she would use anything, no matter how dirty, to manipulate and control. He also used racism to manipulate.
She’s a manipulative, race card using, self-absorbed New York City leftist. A real nasty piece of work.
He’s also a manipulative, race card using, self-absorbed New York City leftist.
Let them sort out their own troubles.
One day investigation?
I am a Registered Investment Advisor and use Franklin Templeton Investments. This company is involved in Ukraine and has been cited for defrauding shareholders in the past by allowing late trades via international markets.
If anyone gets more details, let me know.
Granted, this woman may be a total Cnut, Karen, whatever..but to be fired for RACISM? Really?
Later
Out of line to post the video on line or give it to the news to make yourself a victim and she gets fired? Sue them all! Including De Blasio. There is more to this. And look how stressed out she was.
She looked up what the bird watcher did FIRST before he released THAT video, he enticed the dog with treats to get the dog away from her, in his own words, read down:
It will not format for this page, so here is the link
If she was dumb enough to put her employer on her social media sites then she deserves what she got. Employers take a dim view of being linked with employees who practice, shall we say, unpopular views.
White Woman Who Called Police On Black Bird-Watcher
***********
Heck of a title by NPR and needlessly framed, imo.
Was the man watching ‘black’ birds or was he a black
man watching birds.
The ethnicity of the human doing the watching has no
bearing at all. IMO
It is his right to do so, but why does he choose to watch black birds? I’m not a fan of black birds and hate it when a group flies in and takes all the seed in my feeder.
This woman is stupid not racist. So her employer firing her for a stupid non criminal action while she was not working is equally stupid. I suspect they may have been looking for a reason to get rid of one of their more wacky employees without exposing themselves to a EEO suit for canning a female employee and this pretext was as good as any.
An upset woman who used the politically correct term for an African American. Absolutely politically correct overkill. No shame by the employers and others. A few words of advice would have been sufficient. IMHO
She should have been shot for the way she was pulling on that poor dog.
