It isn’t misogynistic because it refers to a specific behavior pattern of a certain race and class of women. It doesn’t describe the entirety of that race and class of women. Just those who behave in a very particular way. It

Umm... did you not see where posters said the white thief was probably mentally ill?

Whenever a white person steals or shoots up a school, the common defense is that they must have some kind of mental illness. A black person who shoplifts is a thug and deserves to have the book thrown at them.

The misogynistic aspect of all of this does make me wonder who is most invested in promoting the whole Karen thing and I don't think it's Black women (or men). Remember that in 2016 Black women overwhelmingly supported Hillary Clinton.

Fellow white women, please don't let anyone use your fear of being called a Karen to manipulate you into disengaging or hardening your heart toward people who don't look like you.

The post immediately above yours uses a "Karen" calling out a black child for selling lemonade, inferring that the "Karen" is white. As other posters have said, men don't use this term. So, who's left? It is disingenuous to say black women don't have an interest in promoting it when there are multitudes of posts on the protests written by posters who proclaim to be black women, calling white female posters "karens."

OP is letting her fear of being called a Karen, essentially her fear of getting her feelings hurt, silence her from speaking out about injustice. That's on her. Black women rightly calling out racist behavior and attitudes are not silencing OP.

PP's point is that it is hypocritical for black women speaking out to use a racist and misogynist term.

It only silences you if you don't have legitimate issue. If you have a legitimate issue/complaint, etc. you should not feel intimidated to speak up but check your privilege and bias before you do.

Ok, poor white woman who's lost her voice and doesn't know what to do. Black women have to deal with being labeled angry, welfare queens, etc. Where were you to help stem that bigotry? Pretty sure you were probably buying into the stereotype given how quickly that came to your mind. Welfare queen was coined by Reagan, so unless it's something people in your circles use with some frequency, it wouldn't have come to mind so easily.

I love how white people think using what they view as common black name is somehow an insult
