As we fight against the blatant racism occurring in this country, many of us have taken to labeling racist white women as “Karens.”
But, while this has been a lighthearted and funny way of identifying these bigots for most of us, some black people are now urging us to stop using this nickname for one important reason…
And let me tell you, it hasn’t been pretty. undefined
And, once upon a time, they were merely an innocent and hilarious joke.
We’ve seen an unusual influx of nastier, more sinister Karens dominating our headlines.
And the woman, who has now been identified as Amy Cooper, was seen calling the police on a black man who had asked her to put her dog on a leash.
Thankfully, Amy’s actions came back to bite her, and she was fired from her job in the days after the video went viral.
Thus kickstarting a new trend of labeling racist white women.
Because, just weeks after that incident, anotherracist Karen reared its ugly head.
She unleashed a barrage of hateful and racist abuse at the shopper, and even told her to “go back to Mexico.”
But people reveled in glee when she was spectacularly slapped across the face.
And he was just as terrifying as you could imagine.
And he could be heard telling them that he “fought for this country” and demanding their arrest.
How very Karen of him.
A Twitter user shared a shocking video that showed one of his neighbors in L.A vandalizing his car with a hammer in a brutal and racially-motivated attack.
If any bigoted white woman expresses racially-motivated hate or abuse, she is labeled as a “Karen.”
