Using a general epithet like "Karen" to imply that all white women are busybodies is racist.
The woman was a moron and a fraud. She brought this on herself.
I do not feel sorry for her, and I don’t have any problem with what the man did from anything that I saw.
She was the problem, clearly she’s totally nuts.
The media loves race wars during an election year to pit Blacks against the GOP. It’s typical hypocrisy.
The women is also an uber liberal.
Arguably the black guy was the “Karen” in this scenario.
This woman was just screaming bat-guano crazy.
And the idea that a governmental Human Rights Commission is getting involved in this is what is really frightening about it all.
Bet someone offers to pay her big money if she’ll present herself as a huge Trump supporter and wear a MAGA hat anytime she’s on camera.
She’s a racist, leftist piece of trash, but any reasonable person would think the issue essentially over once she’d been almost universally shamed and then fired. Unfortunately, the Left is not reasonable and will use this to encourage as much anger and division as it can.
But then there's the concept of "hate crimes",a concept that I *totally* reject.I don't give a rat's hindquarters if a white guy murders a black guy because the victim was black or because the killer was just having a bad day.It's the severity of the crime...not the race of the victim or the perp...that matters.
On the Totem Pole of Leftist Intersectional Victimhood, blacks are higher up than white women. Now if she, too, had been black, or if she were Muslim or transexual, there would be no story.
Over time, the Left eats its own.
IIRC filing a false police report. = IIRC filing a false police report is a crime.
Human Rights Commissions are extra legal (outside of normal courts) tribunals with a political agenda at taxpayer expense.
This story is When Chad Met Karen. Chad was baiting her dog with Scooby Snacks and harassing those who violated leash laws.
Despite some attempts to make it so, Karens are of all races and appear in any country. I personally have encountered black Karens, African Karens (they’re not necessarily the same thing), Asian and Hispanic Karens.
Especially when the guy with the camera phone was the busybody. I wonder if he was the youngest sibling?
I really do wonder how many leftist trolls we have on FR?
I wouldn’t want to live next door to either of them, whether it’s the jerk who lefts her dog off the leash in a public park, or the guy who whips out a cellphone at the drop of a hat while playing all Greta Garbo.
And instead of taking the heat off of the abysmal leadership in NY that doesn’t clean mass transits for weeks in a pandemic, or ships people with a contagious disease off to the nursing homes, it’s going to make NY look worse. But carry on trying to get the serfs to all fight among themselves instead of asking for accountability from the alleged servants of the people...
By what authority does the “New York City Commission on Human Rights” have to investigate a dispute between two citizens that are not acting under color of law and have not filed legal action against each other. Some busybody moron there watched it on YouTube and decided go intrude despite having no standing in the matter
The woman deserves the shame being heaped on her. She was willing to lie just because she was pissed off that her dog couldn’t run wild and free through a sensitive area. In my experience not untypical of a corporate VP who would say or do anything to get a leg up. But was it racist?? I think not. At least if you think of racism as a belief that your race is superior to another, and take actions on that belief. I see no evidence of that here. Instead I see a willingness to use race as a club, ie she thought it would paint a more terrible and urgent picture if she told cops she was being threatened by a black man. So while she may not be a racist herself, she was happy to use race. In this respect, she is like Jessie Smollett. I don’t know that he is racist, either. But I believe his incident showed his willingness to lie and use race as a club. Both she and Jessie are 100% self-centered and and lie and use people to advance a narrative favorable to them. It’s disgusting. But neither incidents are prima facie evidence of racism. Unless you use today’s definition of racism, which is ANYTHING related to race.
If not, then there should be no further action by government.
Period.
