The Karen Public Freakout Videos have caused a national conversation about racism and privilege in America. While it’s easy to brush these incidents aside as being just an isolated joke, the reality remains that these hysterical white women are using their tears in an exploitative manner to exploit racial biases.
These women’s irrational outbursts of anger and fear in public often stem from a sense of white privilege, yet they’re also used to further BLM’s political agenda. By falsely claiming a mental health crisis, these women create a false narrative that Black people are aggressive or threatening while simultaneously dehumanizing them as weak. It is essential to take an objective look at these acts of racism in order to comprehend how they work to dismantle civil rights legislation.
