White woman calls cops on black woman for sitting in a park
Last week Amy Cooper called the cops on a black man in a park for asking her to put her dog on a leash. This week protestors are marching through the streets all over the country demanding justice for George Floyd and an end to police brutality, and yet, in the midst of all of this, a racist and moron in New York called the cops on a black woman for sitting in a park.
Svitlana Flom, who self-identifies on her Instagram as a lifestyle entertaining expert and reportedly co-owns Madison Vivienne, a French restaurant in New York, called the cops when she saw a black woman sitting in a park. The woman, who has been identified as @_brownsugarbaby on Instagram, shared several videos of Flom calling the cops on her and says the incident started because Flom was too alarmed that I was sitting comfortably in her neighborhood.'

The black woman seemed to be enjoying a sunny day in the park near her apartment building on the Upper West Side when Flom lost her goddamn mind.
From 6:15pm 7:31pm this woman, Svitlana Flom, felt the need to not only approach me but call the cops MULTIPLE TIMES ON ME!! @_brownsugarbaby wrote on Instagram. The first call was because she THOUGHT I was smoking in public
but by the 3rd call, it was bcuz I was threatening her & her children !!
As @_brownsugarbaby calmly sat on a bench, Flom made a series of manic phone calls to police. At one point she claimed that @_brownsugarbaby was pulling the black card, at another point she cried and told the cops that this is unacceptable though its unclear what is so unacceptable to her? Flom also demanded that the police make @_brownsugarbaby delete the Instagram video, which is the most white privileged thing to ask the cops for.

(13,020 posts)Someone in the Comments mentioned 'lifestyle entertaining expert' is another name for the world's oldest profession. Sounds like the fake FLOTUS squatting in the WH currently. Svitlana could also be a mail order bride. I know several eastern european women brought here by marriage visas who have similar snotty behavior.

(54,299 posts)Well, there's one I know to avoid if ever it gets suggested to me.
One of my daughters lives in Manhattan, and we often go out to eat when I'm there. I've never heard of this place before, but if it ever gets suggested to me, it gets nixed the moment the name comes up.
Sorry, Svitlana. Maybe that plays in Kiev (Russian would be Svetlana, "Svitlana" sounds like a neighboring Slavic version, maybe Ukranian or Belorus). But not in Manhattan, and especially not these days.
