Yes. And they will be the better for it, certainly the rest of us will be.

Don’t make President Trump ashamed to be in your tag line.
Look outside the picture you are being fed.

This video made the national news. Dozens of graphic videos of blacks being violently racist against whites are filmed but NONE make the national news.

Why the double standard?

Because the numerous examples of black on white violence far in excess of this non violent video would debunk the “liberal” narrative that only whites can be racist.

That’s interesting. There is much about this incident that still needs to be unpacked, especially for me. Thanks for the information.

She threw that in to get the police to come. She thought it sounded good. But even more she was trying to intimidate Mr Cooper. She had no need to call the police at all. Put on the leash, walk away, obey the rules of the bird sanctuary.

You know this because you are in his head? Even though the reporting says the opposite you know?

“Thanks! Freepers are seriously deluded on this racial incident. They hate the liberal white woman so she is to blame.

This black Harvard Grad/Idiot spends his free time trolling Central Park dog owners with his bag of doggie treats. What a head case!”

dennisw is seriously deluded on this racial incident. He hates the liberal black man so he is to blame.

This white woman/idiot spends her free time with her dog off leash where it is supposed to be on leash and calls in false accusations to the police when someone asks her to stop. What a head case!

His interests overlapped.

His actions speak for themselves.

He probably usually masturbates over the video he gets.

Your last time is about 20 years ago..

Is the Ramble in Central Park still a part of contemporary gay life in New York?

Reading this article it seems that due to a variety of factors Central Park, and specifically the area around the Ramble, was a major factor in gay life for much of the 20th century. I’ve never seen any indication of that when I go there, mostly I see birders. In today’s world, where grindr and gay bars are fairly ubiquitous, does the park still make up any element of contemporary gay life?

http://nymag.com/news/features/47179/
“The rambles were used because people could meet in secret, so that they could hide their identity. That’s not so much a problem in NYC anymore. The rise of the internet and hook up apps made seeking anonymous sex in a park or a bathhouse pretty much unnecessary. People used to use the Brambles because they had no other safe way to meet other gay men (safe being a relative term).”

“We don’t have to hide anymore. We can date openly. We can have casual sexual relationships a lot more easily. No one needs the brambles anymore.”

You are seriously troubled. Please stop bringing your sick fantasies to Free Republic.

Christian Cooper, a graduate of Harvard and a past president of its campus ornithological club, is a senior biomedical editor at Health Science Communications. He previously worked as an editor at Marvel Comics. In 2019, he was featured in the premier episode of Jason Ward’s Birds of North America (shown in the tweet below) and in 2012, he was among the Central Park birders who were interviewed for the documentary film Birders: The Central Park Effect.

White liberal women are stupid. The OJ trial and the Central Park Jogger case ought to be enough to alert them that white women are below black men on the hierarchy. Indeed, the career arc of Obama vs Hillary is indicative enough. Get a clue, ladies. Men outrank you.

I think I’m contributing more than you.

His actions require explanation. They defy acceptance that this was an “accidental” encounter.

You wanted to joke about it. So can I.

I fully agree and have no sympathy for her. I should have said that in my first comment. My point was that the consequences of the call were determined by her mention of his race and not by the call per se.

I also favor the birdwatcher. Regarding the penalty for Ms. Cooper, I am not sure that it is too harsh. Frequently , my morning walks are ruined by an elderly man who refuses to keep his Doberman Pincher on a lease. He has been cited multiple times but still continues the behavior. Maybe Ms. Cooper is a multiple offender. Karma can be a bitch!

The guy is a board member of the Audubon Society and this is a designated and protected bird watching site. He was actually doing his duty in trying to get her to leash her dog - dogs aren’t supposed to be there even on leash. And no, he was not “stalking white women.” Sheesh, it’s people like you who give FR a bad name.
