This has a hell of a background.
Now, the Karen you just saw
was getting into
a fight with a ring video doorbell.
Now I don't know if this Karen
understands the design of a ring
video doorbell, but
it has a video on it.
According to the TikToker,
the neighbor who posted this, this
particular Karen lives underneath
her, and is a light sleeper, or
does not like the bumping around or
the noise in the apartment.
I've stayed in apartments it
happens, okay?
But this Karen approached the ring
video doorbell, in order to engage
in physical combat.
I will say this, I'm going to get
me a damn ring video doorbell,
I had no idea,
they were that durable.
None of the TikToker did go back on
social media to talk about how this
problem continues to persist, and
how the individual below her has
been a consistent Karen.
Adrian, isn't this destruction of
property or something?
What is this?
>> Absolutely,
destruction of property.
She could be sued, civil liability.
It's just Individuals really need
to work on their forms
of communication, because if she
has concerns, she can use her words
like an adult as opposed to using
her little balled up middle of
the night, probably drunk in fists.
It seems like we're not really
evolving as a society when we see
Karen's like this,
trying to handle conflict in very
less productive ways.
>> And this was 4 o'clock in
the morning.
And when I see videos like this,
Adrian, I ask the question,
what's your end goal?
What is the end result here?
Okay, let's say you successfully
attacked the ring video doorbell,
how does that solve
the problem here?
Let's say you destroyed
the property,
how does that change anything here?
>> No, I don't think that this
Karen thought far enough.
But also too, part of me is like,
if you're going to come to
someone's home at 4 AM to
do whatever you're going to do,
it's like you'd at least think that
she would be successful,
because like you said,
that ring doorbell is very durable.
It's like really, what did you do
other than put yourself on camera
to look foolish, I don't get it.
>> Yeah, and
the individual who lives there is
a woman of color,
a young woman of color at that,
seems to be very smart, put it out.
She laid it out really well as far
as what happened and
why this happened.
But here's the thing, we've had
Karen's around for a long time, and
I do see some change, right?
I see videos now, where people
are standing up to the Karenicity,
you see anti Karen's popping up all
over the place, but it's rooted
once again in privilege,
is rooted in privilege.
And let me do it this way because
some people get offended by that
word, I really don't care that they
get offended, but I do want to
provide clarity over agreement.
Even if you disagree with me, let
me provide this level of clarity.
Look at it this way, if you don't
like the word privilege,
let me use the word preference.
There's a preference that
you're given,
because of the color of your skin.
You see, Dr.
King, and this says to correct me
if you think I'm wrong, Dr. King
was well aware of white privilege.
That's why he said,
that we should be judged by
the content of our character, and
not by the color of our skin.
He did not say it was a reality,
he said one day,
it should be a reality.
It's an ideology that we must fight
for, which means currently,
it does not exist in the state of
our country.
And so in order for us to get
to this point, I think we have to
provide a significant reflection
of who we truly are as a country.
>> Yeah, you're absolutely spot on.
The fact is that there
are hierarchies in our society,
whether it is race, class, gender,
age, so on and so forth.
And when people want to ignore
the fact that there are racial
preferences, and
privileges out there,
that just tells me they want to lie
to themselves and then lie to me,
and I am not here for it.
>> I had the opportunity to debate
Charlie Kirk a few days ago.
We'll play that this Friday.
And Charlie Kirk tried to make
an argument, that it's not race,
it's class, and
the disparities that you see.
And this is really kind of a common
default for many Republicans,
who cannot explain the data of
racial disparity.
So they say, no, no, no,
it's all about class.
And so here's my pushback on that.
And I didn't get time to really go
in too deep detail with brother
Charlie Kirk, but the pushback is,
class is a perceived dynamic,
it's a perception.
>> Yes.
>> So that means if you perceive
class and race connected, then it's
a difference without a distinction.
It's a distinction
without a difference, because you
look at it through the same lens of
your social and racial bias.
>> Yes, no, you're
absolutely right.
And another analogy I like to
explain to people is about
pretty privileged, more interactive
people getting access to things,
people treat them differently.
People are more likely to smile at
you etcetera.
People are easy quick to
acknowledge the fact
that beautiful people tend to
have those privileges.
So then I say, okay, well, why
can't you acknowledge the fact that
there is racial privilege as well?
Because clearly, you can
acknowledge that physical features
play a role in how people are
treated, so why wouldn't melanin
count also factor into that?
>> That's such a damn good
point, stolen.
I'm going to make that point at
some point in my future, and I will
give you the credit, attorney,
because that is a very remarkable
rebuttal to anyone who says things
like, I do not see color.
No, no, no, you see color, you see
what you perceive as beauty, you
see what you perceive as strength.
You see all of it,
you see every bit of it.
Your denial of it does not make
it so.
It doesn't mean, it's reality
just because you say it.
