Certainly you remember Amy Cooper, who threatened to call the police on a black male avid bird watcher in NY Central Park because he kindly asked her to put her dog on a leash. She made it perfectly clear in the video (he recorded) that she would tell the cops she was being threatened by an African-American male. The next day, after being fired from her job and blasted all over the TV, she issued this apology:
"I reacted emotionally and made false assumptions about his intentions when, in fact, I was the one who was acting inappropriately by not having my dog on a leash." ~Amy Cooper
Now she is facing charges of making a false police report.
Then we have Amber Rocco of Oregon, who said she regretted using the N-word after going on a tirade against a black couple in a Strip Mall parking lot. In addition, she threatened them with a knife and spit on one of them. After being convicted of a hate crime, she was sentenced to 30 days in jail and anger management counseling. She said:
"I regret using that word. I love everybody equally."
The husband of Arizona's Tamara Harrian stepped in and offered a tearful apology for his wife after she was caught on video using her "privilege" to demand to be waited on ahead of a Native American woman and telling her to go back to Mexico. Her husband said:
"I'm so sorry this has happened. I'm so sorry for what she said. It was very hateful...But I just have to tell you this: It's her mental illness."
Next comes Sonya Holt of Tennessee, who was caught on video yelling "white lives matter" and "white lives are better" and referring to protesters as "monkeys"at a Black Lives Matter protest rally in her community.
In Williamston, NC a white Hampton Inn employee was fired after she called the police on a black woman because she didn't believe the woman and her children (who were in the pool at the time) were guests of the hotel.
In Grand Rapids, MI Shelly Hueckel ended up pleading guilty to assault and battery after attacking a black car salesman at the dealership where he worked. She reportedly struck the victim repeatedly while yelling racial slurs. Before being sentenced to two years probation, the suspect apologized,
"Nothing excuses my actions, but I am deeply sorry for the pain I have caused in his life."
But then you have one bad ass white woman who just said "Hell no, I ain't apologizing!" Nancy Goodman was caught on video in a Raleigh, NC restaurant last year calling two black women seated near her the N-word. When interviewed about the incident, Goodman called the women rude, loud, and obnoxious and said "I'm not going to say I'm sorry to them...I would say it to them again!"
Thank you Nancy! At least we know how you REALLY feel.
