Look- Black people are being killed because of the actions of the white women who get called Karen. Can you understand that the fact that Black people are being killed is MORE IMPORTANT than any mild-to-trivial discomfort you might theoretically experience about what your name has come to mean to the Black community? Can you at least accept that your "concerns" here are not what really matters right now? There's a massive difference between an annoyance, which is all you experience in this, and living in perpetual fear of a violent death caused by the entitled paranoid rage actions of those women who caused the "K word" to become a thing?

The point of articles like this is that YOU and your "needs" are simply not the point right now. Please accept that and work for the kind of world where no one will deserve to be called a "Karen". That isn't asking that much....ok?
