Seriously, what did the man being an "African American" man have to do with anything at that point She is a mess. I'm glad she was fired from her job.

Even where racism does not play a role, these videos and the threat of these videos being made will hopefully make more people behave when out and about.
Because the operator hears she is white and the cops would likely rush to the scene after hearing he is black.

Yes, at a distance.

As long as said white liberal doesn't have to live or work near illegals, minorities, white ethnic NYC native conservatives (the Irish/Italians/Germans/Greeks)...they are happy and feel they are a perfectly integrated member of society.

We all know the truth. Ruth!
That's key to my observations as well. These white leftists talk a good talk, but will almost always stay around other white leftists, even if they move into black or Hispanic neighborhoods in my experience. There is no true attempt to get to know their black/Latino neighbors often times, they will almost never send their children to schools filled with black and Latino students (all the while fighting to "balance" these very schools at the ballot box), etc. Their actions speak louder than their words of unity, inclusion, and understanding.

Taken together with her pre-911 call language about how she was "going to tell them there's an African American man threatening" her life, I agree with you. Again, if all we had was her mentioning race while on the phone with the police, I would not claim that such was evidence that race played a part as it could have easily been simply an attempt to provide a thorough description to the police. But we have a lot more than just that here.

Yes and then noticing it wasn't taken that seriously the light bulb came on "oh if I fake crying and over-stress "African-American" they'll come rescue me and get this man in trouble.

No fines for making a false report nor animal abuse for dragging that poor dog around by the neck. If I was seen on youtube dragging a dog around like that I might get protests outside of my house daily and my employer may fire me too.

Of course not. This chick is following the playbook step by step.

First she was the aggressor then get called out online. (logically if someone fears for their life they do not run toward the danger as she clearly did in the video)
Then she issue a half assed apology where she referred to the person she called the cops on as "that man", couldn't even bother to mention his name in the apology SMH.
Now she switching gears to the victim role where she's crying her own actions are now destroying her life.

LMAO. VP and head of investment solutions at a Hedge Fund. How much do you think she was worth?

Reminds me of the Hunt...

It's a business and there are optics.

That's what happens when you let society get out of control and pay these pay god-knows-how much to do god-knows-what...

Probably at least a million, but probably not a whole lot more than that if I had to guess (I didn't get her age, but she doesn't look that old).

That said, such money is only going to go but so far if she wants to continue living her Central Park lifestyle. I imagine that the Twitter Warriors aren't going to make it easy for her to obtain a comparable paying job elsewhere anytime soon.
