White woman breaks down into hysterics after chasing gay Black man with her car

Another day, another white woman harassing a Black man for seemingly no reason. This time is was a Seattle woman who allegedly screamed a racial slur at a Black motorist then chased after him with her car.

According to Karlos Dillard, the unidentified woman cut him off on the road then flipped him the bird and called him the N-word before following him with her car for four blocks. It was only after she saw he was recording that she stopped.

That’s when Dillard turned the tables and started following her.

Footage shows him confronting the woman as she gets out of her car. She immediately charges at Dillard and tries to grab the camera away from him. He tells her not to touch him and she bursts into sobs.

“I have a Black husband!” she shrieks as she cowers in fear then screams that she’s being “attacked,” the not-so-subtle dog whistle for someone, anyone, to call 911.

No idea why she went into hysterics, shouldn't have flipped someone off. She might need help.

But I got news for you, someone flipping you off is no reason to confront them. I didn't hear the allegation of a racial slur in the video.

And he gets out of his car and starts calling her Karen over and over, what's the point of that?

This was a simple traffic dispute, act like an adult and just wave or give the peace sign. She apparently followed him and then he followed her back, both were dumb.

Lost my best friend to a random act of road rage, there is no reason to let a traffic issue get either part this upset.

If you cut someone off because you were distracted or just rude and someone honks their horn or yells at you, don't flip them off or yell at them. Either smile sheepishly to acknowledger your error or just keep going. You don't know what might happen if you flip people off; there are crazy people out there with guns who actually shoot people for doing that. If someone has cut you off and then called you a name and/or flashed a rude gesture, ignore them and keep going. Don't follow them. If you follow them you'll either scare them (and they might shoot you) or you'll piss them off more (and they might shoot you). Road rage incidents can end very badly. This woman overreacted ridiculously, and very well might have been trying to cause an incident that would end up with the man on the wrong side of a confrontation with the police. And he probably shouldn't have followed her even if his intent was only to talk to her. But once he did, she could have saved herself a whole lot of embarrassment and angst by just going inside. She certainly didn't have to behave the way she did. You see somebody making a video, don't keep being an idiot.

This is frigging dangerous, and people just need to stop.

Stop confronting random people that you do not know for random incidents .. particularly that happen behind the wheel of a car! We don't care that you got video! It's just another stupid incident .. and another "Karen" video doesn't change any kind of narrative.

If you are following somebody in your car .. for an incident or reason that you have not decided to call the police about .. you are in the wrong! Stop!

Even if you're in the right, so what? You don't win any prizes. At best, you aggravate yourself needlessly. At worst, you get into a confrontation with a psycho.

Never do it. I don't even honk my horn -- just not worth it.

And following someone home? Yikes. Never, ever do that.

Don't go home. You do not know if they want your picture, to confront you, tell you your taillight is out or something more sinister.

Safety tip #2- don't follow people home. Call the police with a description of the vehicle and what they did on the road. Confronting the wrong person could be dangerous or you may find the police arriving if someone has called and said you are the aggressor.

He has a history of this behavior

But this isn’t the first time Dillard has accused a woman of calling him the n-word. A quick glance through his past posts shows that just weeks ago, on May 28, he accused an Asian woman of calling him the racial slur as he was picking up a Postmates delivery. Watch below.

I just had a racist Asian lady demand to see my ID and my phone to prove that I was a postmates driver while I was picking up the food. After I refuse to show her my ID. I told her she was being racist and she said whatever Nigger. #blm #postmates @Postmates pic.twitter.com/l2eJQx0u6t

In 2018, he accused a white woman of calling him the N-word and the F-word while open carrying a gun.


There are other stories out there about him. Not sure what to believe anymore. But felt compelled to share here!

I teach and have witnessed a melt down or two in my day but just wow. I will say that I would never confront a driver but I live in a state with lots of guns.
