Yeah, that’s what I normally do when I suspect someone of speeding.

I’ll bet this person has never sped in her life, right?

Stupidity may be natural, but racism is a learned behavior

Edit to acknowledge the high rate of comorbidity there. Curing one would go a long way towards eradicating the other.

Well, the difference here is that he was suspected of speeding while black, which is a totally different thing from suspected speeding while white.

Unless you’re a traffic cop, and it’s actually your job, why should you care?

This is definitely a “punisher Karen”.

A punisher Karen can be distinguished from other Karen subtypes by their characteristics:

  • Out to “punish” someone for violating some standard she decided the victim did not meet
  • Never mind she has no authority to “punish” anyone
  • Then goes out of her way to attack the victim to “prove” her superior position (in her own mind)

I would say “Delivering while Black” should be added to the list of things you cannot do while living while black in the U.S. but sadly it’s already on the list and has been on it for a while now.

It’s the basic opposite of Bigfoot. :smiley:

Bigfoot: the more common cameras are, the less he’s seen

Karen: the more common cameras are, the more often she’s seen

I mean, there are Youtube channels dedicated to “Karens in the wild” nowadays. :man_shrugging:

At this point the list can be summed up with “existing while Black”. Just ask Breonna Taylor.
