'Karen In The Wild' Spastically Rage-Dances During Racist Rant Against Two Girls For Picking Berries

https://percolately.com/karen-rage-dance-racist-rant/



Twitter user Sara (@Pashandisara) shared a video on Twitter that showed an unknown White woman doing a bizarre dance and telling Sara and her friend to “go back to where you came from” after they picked berries off a tree.




The woman said:

“I don’t like to see people wrecking it.”

The girls responded:

“We’re not wrecking it. There are so many berries.”

The Karen then begins mocking the girls and spastically dancing at them.


Picking berries while brown is now a deportable offense. Being born here doesn't make a brown person any less "from somewhere else".

I've been stealing jobs away from Americans my whole life despite being a born and raised American citizen so I've run out of fucks to give.

Go ahead, eat the berries, but don't destroy the bush. Other people might want some berries, too, if the bush isn't destroyed.

She showed her true colors with her "go back to where you came from" comment.

and it probably broke off accidentally when they tried to pull off berries. The woman's behavior was just bizarre.

even eating berries is prohibited in most public parks, let alone taking branches off the bush/tree.

That said, the proper course of action is nothing more than a gentle reminder, and letting the park ranger know so if they deem it imporant they can encourage people to . Not a racist rant.

And - the former would get you a gentle reminder from the ranger to makes sure no leave the park in the condition you found it for others to enjoy. The latter woudl get you escorted out of the park.

I believe most of us whites that are waking up to these realities are slowly bringing that fact more to the forefront of our minds and thereafter will become a part of the solution.

You are helping us to be more aware.

but it's getting a bright spotlight now because of phone cameras and social media. As it gets exposed and condemned, more white liberals would become woke and hopefully society will evolve. Slowly but surely, things are changing.

For me, it's mostly immigrants who are convinced that I must be an immigrant not a citizen since I'm not white. And people of all types are convinced that my name isn't real since brown people can't have "western sounding" Christian names.

Causing me to lose money and morale till I stopped doing rides, since they deactivated me for a week once I’ve had enough accusations.

My white partner has only had one false accusation (was revenge for an off the books ride deal gone wrong) and has done far more rides than me.

bushes. They literally took like 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 of what is just in that small area much less the entire park. This is the dumbest shit I have ever seen and the lady is a kooky, racist freak.

Can you imagine having so little to worry about that you have the time and energy to scrutinize berry-pickers?
