Christian Cooper has been birding since he was 10. His lifelong fascination with birds endured through his time at Harvard and into his years as an editor for Marvel Comics. He has fed his passion with birding trips to Central Park and around the world, but has been keenly aware that few other African-American men appear to be invested in the hobby. ⁣
⁣
“We should be out here,” Cooper said. “The birds belong to all of us. The birds don’t care what color you are.”⁣
⁣
On Tuesday, a video went viral, showing a white woman calling the police on Cooper after he asked her to leash her dog in an area of Central Park where it is required. The video, filmed by Cooper, shows the woman falsely claiming “an African-American man is threatening my life.” The video set off a painful discourse about the history of dangerous false accusations against black people made to the police. By the end of Tuesday, the woman, Amy Cooper, had surrendered her dog and was fired from her high-level finance job. ⁣
⁣
“Any of us can make — not necessarily a racist mistake, but a mistake,” Christian Cooper said. “And to get that kind of tidal wave in such a compressed period of time, it’s got to hurt. It’s got to hurt. I’m not excusing the racism, but I don’t know if her life needed to be torn apart.”⁣
