It looks like Amy Cooper, the white woman in the viral Central Park video, is a liberal. That's important
The Independent | 26 May 2020 | Nylah Burton

The Independent reports that campaign contribution information — with donations to Democrats such as Barack Obama, Pete Buttigieg, and John Kerry — leaked online earlier today and suggest that Amy actually identifies as a liberal: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/amy-cooper-central-park-racist-dog-walker-trump-a9533581.html

My first reaction to the headline was why on earth matter, it's been reported they were both liberals. I did something unfreeperesque, at least to many, and read the article. Among their points.

If true, this matters, because in this political era, during this most critical US presidential election, it is necessary that we understand and recognize that white violence transcends party lines and political ideology.

White violence is not the sole domain of Trump supporters, or open white supremacists. White violence is pervasive, spreading everywhere and tainting everything. And when we overlook liberal white racism, we put ourselves in grave danger, because liberal white people often live closer in proximity to Black folks than their conservative peers.

Many believe that if we just get Donald Trump out of office and replace him with a white liberal or a white moderate, racialized violence will abate in this country. But that’s not necessarily the case. “Moderate” and “liberal” politicians have all aided in such violence becoming the norm as well.

Assuming that Amy Cooper is a white conservative Trump supporter desensitizes us to the ways in which even “progressive” white people protect their spaces from Black people. We cannot assume that a liberal or even a progressive political future will save Black people from white fragility and white supremacy and white violence.

But Amy Cooper is not an anomaly. She is, unfortunately, the norm

While I don't agree with their characterizations of the US as an essentially racist country, they're absolutely correct that racism isn't a component of holding Conservative (or Liberal) views. Unfortunately they don't address the fact that it is a component of liberal political strategy which defines America as a number of potential constituent groups defined by race or gender, and pander to them using hate as a primary tactic.

No, they don’t. That’s why it’s important.

Of course she’s liberal.

It’s so funny. Stupid people interacting.

I thought we’re supposed to believe women.

He did imply a threat to her, saying “you won’t like what I’m going to do”.

I think they’re both liberal idiots.

This is another example that Covid hysteria is over.

Back to normal.

The guy’s sister, who tweeted it, is a flaming liberal! They can’t even stand each other!

Most libs are Karens or Carins! They think everyone should see the world their way or they throw fits and rages!

At least the rescue took the poor dog away from that unstable woman!

Left out their focus on white violence. It’s worth noting that among racial groups as defined by the government, violence is not most prevalent among those designated white.

Typical liberal beotch. She should have her dog on a leash, but noooooo, she is better than thee and how dare an African-American call her and get uppity with her.

I wouldn't be surprised if she has some Nancy Pelosi DNA in her.

And that is apparently a problem: whites must be overtaken everywhere, neutralized, and diluted out of existence. Don't think for a minute that's not the goal of leftwing P.O.C.s. They think the world would be a better place if we were GONE. Then it would all be wonderful, like Wakanda.

Of course the idiots a liberal. For me, that was never in doubt. I’ve seen enough of these Karens in action to know, living in SoCal and all.

Worked for Franklin Templeton. She doesn't anymore.

Though, from their perspective, I don't know what she did wrong. She's just your typical entitled elitist progressive. They're ALL like that.

A woman living in NYC is a leftist? This is expected.

The surprise would be if she was MAGA.

I wonder if Karen thinks it was worth turning over her life for this.

“Maybe she is a man hater like many Dem women.”

Are there any who aren’t?
