Luckily, things did not escalate after the video's cut-off point. Her now-deleted LinkedIn and Instagram profiles suggested she might be Canadian. It’s very likely that she doesn’t consider race much at all, because she doesn’t have to.

The viral video of Canadian Amy Cooper calling the police on a Black man in Central Park is still the talk on social media today. A number of people have messaged the university directly to see what the school has to say about holding their students or alumni accountable when it comes to anti-Black racism. It’s been widely reported that Rowland tripped upon entering the elevator Page was operating, accidentally grabbing her arm to steady himself.

This is what people are saying about Canadian Amy Cooper who is also a Waterloo grad.

The 1921 Tulsa race massacre, in which whites destroyed an affluent Black neighborhood and killed and injured hundreds of its residents, was sparked after white elevator operator Sarah Page claimed that Black shoe shiner Dick Rowland assaulted her. @cnnbrk did a poor job reporting the incident that occurred Monday between Christian Cooper and Amy Cooper. Turns out Amy Cooper, the latest racist white lady in the news, is a Waterloo grad, so this seems as good a time as any to reiterate that it's a shitty look for white Canadians to treat anti-black racism as a uniquely American phenomenon.

The clip of Cooper sneering “I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life” highlights this truth about race in America: White people are far more aware of the structure of the thing than they care to admit. Both individuals were apparently gone from the scene when police arrived, and Amy has now been fired from her job at Franklin Templeton Investments. I have work to do.”. Nearly a century later, in the heart of New York City, Amy Cooper’s actions echo this dark history. What was clear in her words and how she used them was that she didn’t actually feel physically threatened ― rather, she was wielding her privilege as a white woman with the knowledge that accusing a Black man of violence was a weapon against him. It’s very likely that she doesn’t consider herself racist. Luckily, things did not escalate after the video's cut-off point. We do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton. The sad part is that situations keep coming up requiring it to be reposted.

It makes me extra sad that Amy Cooper has Canadian connections. The park asks that owners leash their pets while in parts such as The Ramble, where Christian came across Amy, a woman from Ontario living in New York City, and her unleashed Cocker Spaniel.

Amy Cooper: New York Woman Calls Police on Black Man Who Asked Her to Leash Dog https://t.co/4ITMszVwcJ via @heavysan. As The Black List founder Franklin Leonard asked on Twitter last night, “How many times has Amy Cooper said behind closed doors that a black co-worker ‘wasn’t a team player,’ ‘isn’t one of us,’ ‘made her uncomfortable.’ How many times has she just not been able to put her finger on it, but just doesn’t think they’re the right candidate for the job?”. For his part, Christian Cooper was gracious in response to Amy Cooper’s apology. BuT cAnAdA Is NoT rACiSt LiKe ThE uSA! The video, which has more than 29 million views and counting, shows a tense encounter that took place on Monday between birdwatcher Christian Cooper and unrelated stranger, Amy Cooper, who was walking her dog unleashed in a wooded portion of New York City's biggest green space. Christian Cooper, a Black man, had reportedly asked the woman to put a leash on her dog. Often, this unpredictability is framed or presented as a kind of obliviousness: White women calling the police on Black people — as if the cops are a pizza delivery service or, perhaps more appropriately, an exterminator — are viewed as silly and absurd.
