The Karens are evolving.
We all know how this song goes. For weeks, belligerent white women across the United States have lashed out publicly, usually at unsuspecting people of color, earning themselves the “Karen” moniker. There are Walmart Karens, Officer Karens, and even elderly Karens. Now, a new Karen has entered the ring: Road Rage Karen.
Karlos Dillard documented his showdown with Road Rage Karen on Twitter and Instagram on Monday. According to Dillard, the woman allegedly cut him off in traffic, flipped him off, called him the N-word, and then tailed his car for several blocks. When she noticed Dillard had begun filming her, she took off in another direction. So Dillard drove to her house to confront her.
As soon as Dillard gets out of his car, Road Rage Karen begins walking toward him and shoving her hand in his face. Dillard tells her not to touch him, and Road Rage Karen goes from 0 to 10,000 in .8 seconds. She starts waving her arms, sobbing, and screaming at a glass-shattering pitch.
Road Rage Karen does eke out a few words before bursting into unintelligible hysterics. Among them: “I have a Black husband!”
Having a Black husband is not an excuse for doing…whatever it is Road Rage Karen is doing in Dillard’s video, and Twitter users let her know as much.
“‘I have a Black husband’ prime example of how you can date Black ppl, have Black Kids, family members of friends and still be RACIST,” Twitter user @breezynew_ wrote.
Some Twitter users said the video shows that the Karen knows she’s clearly in the wrong.
“The MOMENT a single droplet of accountability lands on her doorstep, she melts down beyond comprehension,” @spencersike wrote. “Genuinely sad to see the broken process of a racist mind.”
If there is a silver lining here, it’s that Dillard might be able to monetize his Road Rage Karen showdown. He tweeted a photo of a shirt that reads “‘I have had a Black Husband’ – Karen.” Should he decide to print some, he’ll surely have several interested customers.
