While in theory the Black and White Americans have equal rights in the present day America, instances of racial tension and discrimination keep popping up every now and then highlighting the fact that true equality between the races has not yet been achieved. A now viral Tiktok video proves the same as a Karen is shown to be having a complete meltdown inside a Kroger grocery with a Black cop.
The incident that happened in 2022 had since then gone viral on Tiktok as the White woman was seen to be having a complete meltdown over the fact that she was being challenged by a Black authority figure. It was later revealed by a store employee that the woman was causing problems earlier as well as she questioned other customers over their choice of wearing masks inside the store, a kind of behavior that the supporters of Donald Trump have consistently been showing.
The store employee also said that the woman had previous records of causing trouble in that very store. This time, things went a little out of hand as the Black cop got involved and the woman started spewing racially inappropriate things and also started to talk about her rights, which were apparently being violated in a case of reverse racism.
The tussle between the White woman and the Black cop went on for so long that the video was cut into four parts so that the whole thing could be uploaded. While it was unclear regarding what initially made the woman go off, once she became agitated, there was no going back and it only got worse.
At the beginning of the video, she can be heard saying, “I’m being kicked out of the store because I’m white! It’s a Black person’s word over a white person’s word.” She says these things at the top of her voice so that everyone in the store can hear her. The next scene shows the man who was filming, rushing to the store employees, one of whom was the unformed Black man as he asked them to take the lady out of the store.
From this point, as the Black officer approached the lady to ask her to leave the store things went completely out of hand. She not only refused to listen to him, but also called him “illegal.” As she was running around, the officer asked her to stop and to that she demanded to talk to a different officer, clearly hinting at asking for someone who was White.
As she was repeatedly asked to leave, she said, “Excuse me, what crime have I committed to warrant you guys coming in here like an army to shoot me or something? I’d like to know in legal language what crime I’ve committed?”
She kept talking in a way like she really knew the laws or there really was something like the Privacy Act of the Constitution like she kept saying. She also said that the Black cop’s words were “hearsay”. However, at this point, other officers, including White ones also got involved and as everyone unifiedly told her to leave despite her frantically defending herself she said, “You can’t go believing a Black person over a white person!”
With all this drama the woman did not budge and she had to be arrested as she herself demanded. Whether or not she had a lawyer remains unclear. This video once again brought out the everyday racial misconduct that still goes on in America.
