"Central Park Karen" Amy Cooper Is Suing Her Ex-Employer For Racial Discrimination

[634-5789]

Amy Cooper filed a lawsuit against her former employer, financial services firm Franklin Templeton, on Tuesday, alleging that the company discriminated against her because of her race and did not investigate the incident before firing her, according to multiple reports. The lawsuit claims the company gave credence to people “who sought the destruction” of Cooper’s life.

The suit maintains Cooper wasn't acting out of racism, but rather, because she was “frightened to death” during the incident. Cooper contends that Franklin Templeton “perpetuated and legitimized the story of ‘Karen’ vs. an innocent African American to its perceived advantage.”

Cooper claimed the company “had not performed an investigation” but “published statements that they had,” per CNN. The lawsuit also claimed Franklin Templeton “concluded indisputably” that Cooper was racist without an investigation and called that decision “extreme and outrageous.”

1. The world has real problems, and we focus on this.

We're doomed.

6. This small incident is a reflection of the "real problems."

People who are not white know that calling the police can get people killed. It can ruin lives.

White people of privilege know it's not likely to be them.

It would have been "real" if some cop, highly annoyed by her bogus 911 call, had shot her dog and put his knee on her neck until she was dead.

2. Not going to go watch it again...

But wasn’t she also treating her dog like shit?

There's seldom accountability in this Fucked Up country for the privileged.

7. Is being tone deaf a disability?

8. Good luck with that

At will employment is a rethug wet dream. They shouldn’t complain when it gets used against them
