When it comes to hot button issues, I think that we have seen our fair share in this day and age. It seems as if people have something to argue about, regardless of what it happens to be. Everybody has a particular point that they want to get across and if they aren’t able to convince the other person that they are right, they usually just end up speaking louder. This has led to a rather interesting phenomenon, where people are being called ‘Karen’. At first, there were just a few videos that would fall into that category but these days, it seems as if they are happening more and more often.
It happened recently in the bay area of California, when a family was approached by an older woman, who was apparently their neighbor. She claimed to be upset because their dog had attacked her dog. Meanwhile, she was holding a little dog in her arms and she said that they had a pit bull. What made it worse is the fact that the argument was getting out of control and the fact that she was holding a stun gun. She claimed that it was to protect herself from the dog, but she may have just had some preconceived notions about the family.
Things really got interesting when Karen leaned in and asked them why they didn’t start acting like white people in a white neighborhood. It seems as if that touched a nerve, and we can understand why. She did back off slightly and talk about how she was from Oklahoma and that there were plenty of ‘black people’ who lived there. The more she talks, the worse things get.
The event was captured on surveillance cameras and both of them were recording on their cell phones. It’s amazing that this type of thing continues to happen today, but as long as Karen exists, we will continue to have these interesting videos to toss around. See it for yourself below:
