Showing Original Post only (View all)Another day, another viral "Karen" moment. WARNING ⚠️ LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE [View all]
Another day, another viral "Karen" moment.
A video posted on social media this week showed a June 22 altercation between two customers at a Sacramento 7-Eleven.
The footage begins in middle of a heated argument in which an unidentified white woman calls a Black woman a racial slur. It's unclear what exactly started the argument, but the white woman repeatedly shouted, "I said excuse me!" before using the n-word. Stupid, stupid decision.
The Black woman then walked toward "Sacramento Karen," throws an item at her and said, "Call me a n*a again ... I'm the right one. Try it." The white woman's tone got noticeably quieter for a few moments, but then she accepted the challenge at firmly dropped the n-word. A split second later, the Black woman started swinging and punched the white woman in the face multiple times.
A second video begins with the white woman on the floor, as she holds the other woman's arm.
"Let me go," the Black woman is heard saying as she stands over "Karen." "You better let me go or I'm gonna hit your ass again." The white woman refused to release her grip, so she got another fist to the face.

1st she declined to press charges, said it was her fault, then changed her mind.

Nope, better google the meme. "Karens" are a specific type of entitled white woman.

Are you saying that the woman should have let the racist call her the * word and walk away?

I don't condone the violence but I don't feel bad for the racist either

I don't care for this video. While the white lady is wrong, the reaction was too violent. nt
