We all know there’s a practical reason why Black people record angry and nosy white people who disrupt us while we’re trying our hardest to mind our own business in peace. We do it because when the police get called we want to be able to show what really happened, and we do it to upload videos to social media so internet sleuths can do what they do and, hopefully, cause the Caucasian offender to lose their job or otherwise face consequences.
Then there’s the other reason to record these people: Pure entertainment.
I’m sorry, but some of these Karen videos are just plain amusing.
Take, for example, this video of a white woman who reportedly got herself escorted out of a post office in Kirkwood, Missouri, for making a scene after getting upset about, well—I don’t know—whatever it is Karens tend to get mad about. (Maybe Black people were barbequing without a permit too close to her P.O. box, or whatever.
The video begins with Postal Patty telling a Black post office employee recording the video to ” get the hell away from me,” despite the fact that the employee appears to be recording her from a distance—that is until the disgruntled Karen who just told the Black woman to stay away starts walking closer with her own phone to, I guess, record the person recording her. (It doesn’t appear that Lost Letter Lydia understands the point of recording these videos.)
“I could do the same thing, lady,” Mail-in Melinda says. “I send it to Trump. Maybe he could do something, and then Obama could sue him.”
