Showing Original Post only (View all)'Stay in your hood': White 'Karen' fired after allegedly assaulting Black couple at Brooklyn dog [View all]
park"At the dog park in Brooklyn with my fiancé and this white woman was threatening to call police and told us to 'stay in our hood' because she had our dog confused with another dog who had been barking loudly," Joseph wrote above the video on Twitter. "So, I started recording and she tried to slap the phone out my hand."
The video shows the woman giving Joseph the middle finger and swiping at his phone.
"Stay in our hood? You just told us to leave the dog park and stay in our hood?" Joseph asks the woman in the video.

"I hope Emma learns from this," he added. "I hope that other people learn from this who engage in abusive, racist and destructive behavior, because ultimately, whether Emma lost her job or not, it doesn't take away the trauma that my fiancee and I have. It doesn't take away the feeling of feeling like anything racist can happen anywhere, so I don't think people should be coddled, and I do think that consequences are important, so hopefully this is a learning lesson for everybody."

It's rational, and it has to do with the fact you have ideals and values. Never lose those!

Unfortunately they did not catch her actually saying this (Or much of anything) on the video.
