Let's shift the focus off of the racism that black people face every day to the truly heartbreaking damage caused to white women named Karen.

And not only can we make it all about white people and THEIR suffering, it's another opportunity to tone-police black people AND to blame US if white people continue to ignore the racism in their midst.

What a bargain!
