  1. I can’t seem to view that TikTok video that you have imbedded there. However, with the OP’s various woke hashtags and comments stating “raaaacism” and “KKK”, I’d bet $1000 that bitchiness was the issue and not racism. In other words, Karen would have been just as nasty with me as she was with that poor lady. This is almost always what’s really happening.

  2. I fixed it for you to be accurate:

    “A racist harassing elderly black woman at Orlando airport”

  3. Remember that Gary sensors comments and hides behind ‘mod’ approval aka himself. He’s a fraud.

  4. @Steve

    “Racist”? DO you say that only because a WHITE person had an disagreement with a BLACK person?! Maybe the black woman deserved it. Maybe YOU are the racist…..

  5. @Jeff – the system places some comments into a ‘moderation queue’, flagging things like suspicious IP addresses, links that could be malicious, and some new commenters as well. I then have to go through the moderation queue and clear these.

    Since I don’t have any staff, there can be a delay in doing so – I have another job and might be in a meeting, I might be on a flight where the internet doesn’t work (my recent Los Angeles – Sydney flight), or I might be on a different time zone sleeping…

  6. No staff to pay? They why does this site have to cover 50% of my screen with ads?

  7. Karen is white. So am I. That doesn’t mean all the things white people say are wrong, but Karen being Karen takes it to levels that aren’t acceptable.

    This is not my website, and those who own it get to moderate it. That too is a fact.

    Look, people, friend, white, black, brown, whatever… I say to you.. in the spirit of peace… when you see shit happening that isn’t fair to someone… don’t let it happen. Speak up. Intervene. Yeah, it’s not fun. Stomach acid rises… but do it so you can be part of the Good Guys.

  8. Since “Karen” is a derogatory reference specifically to a white woman, making the reference both sexist and racist, It find it amazing just how comfortable the woke and pc crowd are in using it. “Oh, it’s ok, it’s just a woman we are labeling, and hell, she is white, so she deserves it.” I thought women were a class protected from discrimination?

  9. View the pic of the poster, and what you might see could be the REAL Karen.

    Just because a woman is white DOES NOT MEAN she’s being a Karen when involved with a large number of POC’s, some of whom have an entitled agenda.

    Just sayin

  10. I fixed it for you to be accurate: Better

    “A racist harassing elderly woman at Orlando airport”

    does not matter if she is black white Asian, Lesbian, Jewish Muslim.
    . The PAX should not be defined as “black” , that is where the racism is perpetuated

  11. STOP USING THE NAME KAREN TO DESCRIBE RACIST WHITE IGNORANT WOMEN. MAYBE JUST MAYBE IF YOU ACTUALLY STARTED CALLING THESE WOMAN OUT BY THEIR OWN NAMES AND PERSONALLY HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR MAYBE THEY WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO GO OUT IN PUBLIC AND MAKE A SEEN. USE THEIR OWN NAMES AND START MAKING THEM PAY REAL MONEY FINES. KAREN IS ALSO THE NAME OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE FROM MYANMAR. STOP USING THE NAME. ITS NOT JUST A WHITE NAME.
