White Women, Come Getcha Girl: A Karen Goes Postal

The post office is the latest place no one is safe from privileged white women.

Itโ€™s a tale as old as time: a white woman believes they are being slightly inconvenienced by a Black person then immediately shows off how racist they really are.

The latest example of this took place in Kirkwood, Missouri, where a white woman was reported to have gotten herself kicked out of a post office after acting a damn foolโ€”and her ire was directed toward a Black female employee.

The video footage of the incident starts with the Karen telling the postal worker to โ€œget the hell away from meโ€ even though the employee is recording the ridiculous antics from a distance. Then she starts walking closer to the Black woman and records her as she exclaims โ€œI could do the same thing, lady!โ€

The employee remains silent and lets the Karen work herself up because as weโ€™ve seen over and over again, it really doesnโ€™t take much. โ€œI send it to Trump,โ€ she remarks. โ€œMaybe he could do something, and then Obama could sue him.โ€

Of course, the harassment doesnโ€™t stop there; Karen makes sure to throw in extra racism for good measure. โ€œEqual my ass,โ€ she snidely comments as she walks away from the worker. โ€œYouโ€™re not equal!โ€ She then makes it all the way to the driverโ€™s seat of her vehicle and says โ€œGoddamn f**king step on white people.โ€

Just when it appears that Karen was through, she again approaches the employee and says โ€œI tell ya, Iโ€™ve had it. Goddamn, you have ruined my life. I sit here. All I want is my mail. My mail!โ€ The post office worker responds: โ€œDonโ€™t come in here maโ€™am. And please step off of our lot.โ€

The Karen then says she hopes the employee loses her job before asking her where she gets her hair done (weโ€™re just as confused as you are about that one). She finally leaves and the worker, known as @j5scar on Instagram, posted about the infuriating exchange.

โ€œLuckily for her, I was on my job and words donโ€™t hurt me ESPECIALLY coming from a #karen,โ€ she wrote. This wonโ€™t be the last time a Karen goes on a racist rampage, so white women if you see something say somethingโ€”your kinfolk are infamous for this type of behavior.
