A WHITE “Karen” admitted to calling a black man a “f**king n****r” and other abuses in a California parking lot during a shocking encounter posted on Instagram.
The elderly woman, who has not yet been identified, is seen approaching the man after blocking his car into the parking spot and not allowing him to leave.
The “Karen” claimed the man, who goes by the username Mr. Carter, “stole” her parking spot when he went to pick up his kids from his aunt’s apartment.
“You in there getting a piece of ass or something? You could have parked over there and done it?” the woman says at the start of the video.
“Getting a piece of ass?” Mr. Carter, 34, replies calmly.
The woman responds, “Yeah, is that why you done that? Did you visit Miriam? You in there getting a piece of ass or something when you could have parked in one of those visitor parkings to do that.”
Mr. Carter then asks the woman why she is being “hostile.”
The woman defends herself, saying that he should not have parked illegally in the spot.
“The paying tenant has the right to come out,” the woman claims.
Mr. Carter interjects, “And I told I said I apologize, ma’am. I was coming in here for a second and I was leaving.”
The woman then tells Mr. Carter she filed a complaint with the development’s office as she continues to escalate the argument.
“You’re stealing from me,” the woman claims.
Mr. Carter quickly retorts, recounting comments the woman made prior to the camera recording.
‘You called me a n*****r,” Mr. Carter says calmly.
The woman admits to his claim, responding: ‘So? I’ve got a constitutional right to free speech. I’m an American and proud of it. I don’t have to leave America to go to Africa, like you guys have to leave Africa to come to America,’ she responds.
Mr. Carter slams the woman for her “white culture.”
“You have no culture, what’s your culture. Hot dogs?”
The angry woman then claims that if Mr. Carter had just obeyed the rules, the incident “wouldn’t have happened.”
“You was going to call me a n*****r regardless. You’re just filled with hatred in your heart,” he says.
Another woman who lives in the complex then speaks with Mr. Carter from her balcony, saying “She’s always been like that since she’s lived here.”
As Mr. Carter speaks with the second woman, a police officer, who is also black, is seen walking up to speak with the man who then explains he acted respectfully throughout the encounter.
“One: I’m gonna respect you because you’re my elder. Two: I’m gonna respect you because my aunt lives here and I don’t want any problems. Three: I’m gonna respect you just because you probably have an idea of us that we’re supposed to get ignorant,” Mr. Carter tells the officer, who looks shocked.
Mr. Carter tells the cop he took out his phone to start recording her and the woman said she’d repeat all the offenses she’d hurled before.
“Nooooooo,” the cops says shocked.
The video then cuts, and Mr. Carter is again heard apologizing to the woman for parking in her spot.
“Hey, stop hating, just love. It’s easier to love,” Mr. Carter tells her.
“Love don’t steal from me,” she responds.
Mr. Carter calmly tries to educate the woman about the hateful words she used, before the exasperated man gets into the car with his children and drives off.
Commenters on the viral video were quick to defend Mr. Carter.
“I think this lady is jealous of Miriam!” one user said.
Another said, “Kudos to you for speaking your truth and keeping classy. She has much to learn from you.”
The Sun has reached out to Mr. Carter for a comment.
Karen is a pejorative terms coined in the US for a white woman perceived to be entitled and privileged.
