I'm quite surprised at how prevalent the Karen phenomena is and how racist white women really are.

during the Elian Gonzales fiasco in Miami. He would have to constantly hang up on racist women and explain that he had nothing against Cuban people.

"how racist SOME white women really are"

Not ALL white women are "Karens" or "Ivanka's" or Jerucas" and I am getting really sick of the implication that ALL white women are messed up and stupid and racist; that ALL white women are the reason #TraitorTrump was elected.

Not ALL white women voted for #DementoDonald, not ALL white women are #TraitorTrump shills. Not ALL white women wannabe used sexually or otherwise by the insane obscenity currently squatting like a slimy toad in the White House.

No one actually says they are lumping all white women into these categories, but this is often implied. I am a progressive Democrat and I work for my party, I supported Hillary, I supported Elizabeth Warren and now I absolutely support Joe Biden. I have never, will never support in ANY way a republican for any office and in fact I will do my best to make sure they are thrown out of Congress and especially the WH and will work for real, tangible change in the Law to prevent this dangerous, unconscionable travesty of cruelty, lawlessness and perverted justice from ever happening again.

Maybe "I protest-eth too much" but, for months now, I have been seeing statements like this one and it just finally got to me.

Those who mindlessly brandish clubs, point guns, scream, spit and act out violently are horrifying and, IMHO, are sub-humans who represent a real & true anomalous evolutionary 'roll-back'.

These mindless violent attacks by the selfish, non-visionary, non educable, self-righteous extremists are always self- revealing and one of the ignorant & hateful ways they are (mis)handling their own innate fear.

These particular 'white women' bullies are just like their counterparts, who are, for the most part, fearful, insanely stupid & arrogant 'white men'

But they are not ALL (or every) white woman or white man.

Not accusing you, Demo, but there is a bit of a sexist tilt to the shaming of Karens over Kens right now.

Having Black friends and relatives just helps us hear what our programmed little subconscious minds say so we can continue to work through it and do what we can to break the seemingly endless cycle.

I know, she's not listening to me, but I just had to get it out there.
