On Monday, the internet erupted with rage after a video surfaced of a white woman named Amy Cooperon a black man named Christian Cooper after he asked her to put her unleashed dog on a leash in an area of Central Park where leashes are required. In the subsequent days, the video went viral, eventually leading to Cooper surrendering her dog to an animal rescue and getting fired from her job at a financial firm.

“We could arrest someone for pulling a fire alarm,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said at a news conference Wednesday. “We could surely arrest someone for attempting to destroy and burn down the life of an innocent person.”I am certainly not one to defend racist white women who weaponize the police against black people, but it’s ahistorical to act as though Amy Cooper’s individual actions are the root of the problem, instead of just a symptom.

Christian Cooper would rather talk about 'underlying current of racism' than Amy CooperChristian Cooper: “It’s not really about her and her poor judgment in a snap second... It’s about the underlying current of racism and racist perception that has been going on for centuries and that permeates the city and this county that she tapped into.” White girl grooming gangs mostly Pakistanis are spread all across UK but media is silent, a small news and that’s it.

You are a credit to your country and community at a time when we need to see and hear more Americans like you. As a Christian, a conservative and a vet...I salute you. MSNBC is the most racist propaganda network! They spew racial hatred and stoke the flames of racism so they have something to talk about. MSNBC is part of the problem in America!
