If you want to see a PERFECT example of a Karen attempting to weaponize her tears to get what she wants even if it ultimately causes bodily harm to a Black person, watch this.
As you watch, I want you to notice a few things…
*This will be a thread because I’m now annoyed*

1) She thought that if she yelled for help & cried she would immediately get her way.
Why? Because historically that has always worked for them. That’s why they do it.
They don’t care if someone gets hurt. When inconvenienced — or God forbid, DENIED — yell for help & cry.

2) When she saw she was being recorded she popped that work badge off her neck with the quickness.
Why? Because she saw that camera and knew that social media sleuths would have her name, job site and shoe size by lunch time.
She knew her antics would jeopardize that job.

In my mind that alone shows consciousness of guilt. She knew those men had done nothing wrong and the video would show that — leading to consequences for HER.
So she shifted into another gear, enter:
3) The “tears” of a 🤡.
Dry as the Mojave. All for show.

The “waterworks” also fell flat. Why? Because again, those men had done nothing to her, she was in the wrong & no one was buying. Well, except for the next thing you need to notice:
4) “Captain save a Karen”
On cue they hear the malignant cries for “help” & come to fix it.

You should also notice that the “fix” involved the Black man giving the Karen what she wanted.
No questions asked.
No further investigation. He decided SHE was telling the truth immediately.
Except she WASN’T.
#CarolynBryant anyone?

As the last act of her sad, potentially dangerous drama, Karen gets off the bike — that the Black man was on first & had already connected to his credit card — dries her “tears” & prepares to go about her day as if she didn’t just almost upend their lives.

I hear they’ve found her. May the “find out” phase be deliciously fruitful.
I’d say I hope she learns from this, but she won’t. Anyone who does what she did at that late age has deep-seated beliefs that the lives — and apparently bike-riding — of Black people don’t matter.

And though I CLEARLY used the phrase #Karen — which references a VERY specific type of entitled, willfully-ignorant & often malignantly racist white woman, which NO decent white woman should see herself in — I know some of y’all still need this:
#NotAll
There ya go.
#NotAll
There ya go.
And I just heard that these were teenage boys she did this to.
Not grown men.
Even worse.
Again, could’ve upended or simply ENDED their lives over a lie.
