Woman caught on video yelling racial epithets at family in N.C.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS/CNN) - A video shows a woman yelling racial slurs at a family from Charlotte.
She continued to say racial slurs to my face continue to call me n*** over and over and over again. It was the most blatant display of racism that I have ever experienced, Aisha Sabur said.
Sabur said she and her family were visiting from Charlotte on their way to a birthday dinner when a woman, later identified as Rachel Ruit, started yelling racial slurs from behind them.
Another family member started recording while they all stood behind the camera.
She wanted me to know that if you touch me, I will call the police and you will be held accountable, and thats a big part of why I didnt lose my cool, Sabur said.

There are a ton of crazed, near-demonic racists in the country with hair-trigger tempers just waiting spew their vitriol at someone.
It requires a cool head to deal with them If you accidentally just brush one with a fingertip you can set them off.
I do like the video from the gas station/convenience store in Phoenix last week where the somewhat overweight "Karen" grabbed arm of a Latinx woman she wanted to leave the country. The Latina was cool though and within her rights to slap the sh_t out of her, which she promptly did since she was assaulted.
Cell phones have given us a glimpse of the real world, naked and ugly as it is sometimes.

(12,821 posts)I thought a Karen was someone who is blissfully elitist or who flaunts their (often white) privilege.
But this woman is definitely outside the bounds.

Glad to see one of the bigots out themselves and it ending up online. That is the ONLY way they will ever pay. Nothing from inside the state will ever do anything about them. Some Twitter justice might be the only way they ever have to answer for their bigoted actions.
The rest of the time, the ones like me who might say something to them get surrounded by the majority who think like them and told to STFU. I hope Twitter goes after them hard. I'd love to finally see just one bigot in NC have to pay for the horrid crap they do besides just having those views. The things done by them are never punished, including illegal actions like killing black transgender women without having to face hate crimes charges, stealing absentee ballots and gerrymandering districts "with surgical precision." They have done far worse things where I live, specifically, but the majority where I live always work together to hide that shit, including blaming random black people for crimes, just pinning it on them, group gay bashing and raping this lesbian in the name of God. Karma is such a fucking slap on the wrist.
I hope internet/Twitter justice brings them down hard, because no governing body inside this state will ever do anything about bigotry even when they are committing crimes based on that bigotry.

(4,131 posts)Karen is simply a new word for someone who is behaving badly - more specifically, someone exploiting their privilege often in a racist way.
This woman was being a racist Karen. If it had been a man we would say he was being a racist Dick.
Do you object to that, too?

(82,383 posts)Racists without jobs are a desirable thing? Then what will they do? Probably get even more racist. What's with the deep need for employment based revenge on them?
StarfishSaver
(18,486 posts)What consequences do you propose. A stern talking to?
Funny how people balk at proactive remedies because they supposedly punish all white people (because, of course, "not all white people" and they insist that we just deal with the individual acts of racism when they occur.
And then when they occur, we get this ... and from the same quarters.

(15,555 posts)Of course this is NC, so she probably won't even get a slap on the wrist. Many would want to give Rachel Rat a high five instead.

It's just now getting attention.
