Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (D-VT), according to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackfriendbook.com\/\">website<\/a>. Joseph posted a video on Saturday night of an altercation between him and the woman, later identified as Emma Sarley, in a dog park in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the dog park in Brooklyn with my fianc\u00e9 [sic] and this white woman was threatening to call police and told us to \u201cstay in our hood\u201d because she had our dog confused with another dog who had been barking loudly.

You were right here and watched this entire thing. Did she just not stand here and tell us to stay in our hood?\u201d Joseph asks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe did,\u201d the man confirmed while Sarley walks away.<\/p>\n<p>After Joseph posted the video on Twitter to his roughly 116,000 followers, some of his followers tracked down the woman and identified her as Sarley. Joseph then used the information to launch a pressure campaign against Bevy, a community events software platform and Sarley\u2019s employer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey @DerekjAndersen I see that @BevyHQ is attempting to be better about race, equity, etc.,\u201d Joseph tweeted Sunday, tagging Bevy CEO Derek Andersen. \u201cThought you should see this.

He also said that he hopes Sarley and others \u201clearn from this\u201d incident. &nbsp;Joseph said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"41\">\n<p><em>So, I was just told that Bevy has terminated Emma Sarley after her racist attack against my fianc\u00e9e and I in the dog park, and while it\u2019s unfortunate that she had to lose her job, I do think that this brings up an important conversation about accountability, especially in a country where black and brown people, marginalized people as a whole have seen so little of it, oftentimes, right, you know, having to bear the burden of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. I think that it\u2019s important that people know that there are consequences for their actions, right? And I don\u2019t think that its up to victims to have to coddle, you know, people who are engaging in abuse.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You know, when I woke up yesterday morning, I didn\u2019t expect to have to be a part of this conversation. I didn\u2019t expect to go to the dog park as a black person and have to receive, you know, racism. So, while it is unfortunate what happened, I hope that Emma learns from this. 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 doesn\u2019t take away the trauma that my fianc\u00e9e and I have. It doesn\u2019t take away the feeling of feeling like anything racist can happen anywhere, so I don\u2019t think that people should be coddled, and I do think that consequences are important. So, hopefully this is a learning lesson for everybody.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.658064516129\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve been told that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DerekjAndersen?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DerekjAndersen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BevyHQ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bevyhq<\/a> have let go of Emma Sarley, as her racism against me and fianc\u00e9 doesn\u2019t align with their values.
