Odd that False accusations seem ok to most as long as you are not on the receiving end
As a people we seem to be more concerned with our own social standing rather than right or wrong

Now if the situation was reversed, and it was a black teen accusing a white woman of stealing his phone and then attacking her repeatedly to try to get it out of her pocket, do you think they should/would let him go on his merry way?
In addition, hotel never checked on the teen. Never knocked on the hotel room door to see if he was ok. You think that would have been the case if she was a white woman who was just attacked by a black teen. Didn't reach out until they got bad press - and then only on twitter, publicly. No apology from any of the individuals involved (manager, security, woman/victim).


I am so glad this went viral. This is typical. This is what systemic racism look like.
Yeah, she obviously was a racist jerk, but then the people in charge just go along with her, stand behind her, give her every curtesy while throwing the black family under the bus.

I object to the simple characterization of "Karen", when in fact it appears she's an entitled white woman given to hysterics and racism, to the point of being criminal in nature.

Yeah I know, a bit more cumbersome a description, but "Karen" is a far too benign and benevolent term to apply to this human trash.

But I thought we were to believe all female accusers?

Even if they had no proof. None at all.

Is this where we call you a toxic mysoginist?

It's not fake news, it's just biased news and it's important for people to realize where they're being lead and this goes for FOX and all the others as well.

Imagine some news organization that just constantly runs every story of an illegal committing a crime, pointing out that they run those stories but not others is indicative of their editorial bias.

Not sure why some people can't bear to face an obvious truth about our corporate media.
Before smart phones and recording, this likely wouldn't be a story. Sadly smart phones exist and make these stories stories.

I've never heard of an altercation between a white woman and a black teen that ended up badly for the black teen. It's always the other way around (if it ends up badly for either one).

And you know it. Otherwise, you would have recommended ending the altercation by proving to her that she was wrong.

Said the person who doesn't know what a "system" is.

Systemic racism is what YOU are engaging in with the assistance of every pillar of our social system from the federal government to the mass media to universities to multinational corporations etc. etc. ad inifinitum.
