Smart way to guarantee people read to the end. I personally wanted to see if you were being ironic. Instead I left with my head shaking.
The fundamental problem with this article is that you have a childish view of racism which reduces it to a fight on the playground. You think that because someone “called me a racist, then that means that you are racist too! Nyah Nyah Nyah”.
Racism is the systematic and systemic oppression of one person to another who is the oppressed. In cultural terms it also means you judge people on the color of their skin. Here is where the nuance comes in and what this article lacks. If you are using the system to make my life hell because of the color of someone’s skin, you are engaging in racist activity. Someone pointing out that behavior is NOT THE SAME THING!
You can be prejudiced against someone - ie not like them because they are black. However, the racism comes in where you say ‘Im not going to (tip them, hire them, respect the fact that they are human) or I’m going to (make their life hell, restrict them, let them know they aren’t wanted)’ because of their skin color.
If you play basketball and I call you a basketball player doesn’t make me a basketball player.
I wrote an article about Karen's called 'Karen Understands America Better than You (https://medium.com/an-injustice/karen-understands-america-better-than-you-5f82a2d0be6e) where I explain the historical nature of Karen. She was always around and she was dangerous. If she accused a Black person of doing anything - that was it for the unlucky person. That Black person was killed. Oftentimes you never saw them again. Emmett Till is the perfect example that even you can't dispute even though that happened in the 50’s
If she was so petrified of Blacks why does she always seem to find themselves around them? Why would I go to a restaurant that I am afraid will give me food poisoning? I’ve lived and worked in white neighborhoods where I was the only Black person for miles as well as for days. If you truly didn’t want to be around them, it’s not that hard. Yet, she always seems to find herself hanging around their apartments or waiting online behind them at a store.
She commits acts of aggression - even throwing down displays in department stores. She isn’t a victim.
She causes so much drama that you can’t help but notice it. She won’t let you not notice it. Her level of entitlement is so high that she doesn’t care who it damages in the process because her feelings were hurt, or her comfort level was crossed.
The reason why it focus on a white woman is because THEY ARE THE ONES DOING IT! They even share the same hairstyles so it’s rather humorous and affecting. If there was an Asian Karen we would use Asian videos.
What is the ultimate outcome of this article? Why are you trying to evoke sympathy?
