The cop herself uses Karen so that is why I used it as a title. I don't personally use it but I understand the way the internet works.

If cop says I’m tired of N——-s would you have used it in the title. Homogenize it to N word?

Can’t make anyone stop. I’m asking please stop.

Karen is not the same as the N Word. Take it from a Karen.




I only used it once but it is going to continue on social media until there is a new meme.

As I said. I’m asking people not to use it. It does offend a lot of people whether one Karen says it doesn’t.

It’s okay. You use it. I get to ask. You get to be who you are.

Dumping on women as being petty or annoying complainers and labeling woman as a group instead of individuals is prejudice .

Patriarchalists are getting pushback on objectifying one group so they start dumping on another.

Each group has to fight back. I intend to fight this latest "Karen" labeling bullshit.

We are not facing human and planetary disaster because of women.
LWe are facing it because we do not have equality in the public space and the patriarchalists who can be women as well as men are fighting to keep the rest of us out keep promoting their noxious philosophy of inequality.

This is about self-entitled White Women calling the police anytime they do not like something, someone, usually a POC, is doing or even by simply existing. This white woman (not a man) could have caused the end of this black man's life.
