“Karen” is a senior, and while she may have forgotten a few things over the years, she hasn’t forgotten her racism.
While shopping, a Black man named Agustist King encountered an older, frail woman who asked him if she could buy what she wanted and leave before he robbed the store.

She didn’t say specifically why she thought this—the video cuts out before she could answer—but it’s apparent as to the reason. What’s even more remarkable about the question is her resigned tone.
King uploaded the video to TikTok, and it immediately went viral with more than 2.5 million views and over 13,000 comments, with most people shocked, saddened, and angry at the question.
Let’s check out those reactions…
There’s shock…

@doeshall #duet with @agustistking
But honestly… maybe she’s just joking? In that wholesome, old-timey racist sort of way?

Others defended her, saying that she was frightened of what she saw on TV in the wake of the George Floyd protests or perhaps confused altogether. She was probably in for the shock of her life to learn that King was shopping, much in the same way she was.
Listen, racism and entitlement are not going away right now, but as people like this kind of, well, die out… racism will eventually go away. Right? RIGHT?!?
Have you ever had an encounter with a racist “Karen”? Are you a Karen and you hate the fact that your name is now ruined?
