Video of a white woman rudely accosting a Black Postmates driver and blocking him from delivering food inside her Los Angeles building has gone viral.
Link to tweet
Is this a holdup or something? the woman asks Jordan Mykel Gipson in one of two videos documenting the interaction and posted on Instagram.
Just take it off, she demands, during the exchange.
Im glad I was here, she says in the other video as she blocks the door of her building while Gipson buzzes his customer while clearly holding a bag of restaurant food.
We dont want your delivery, the woman states. I dont want you. I dont want you here. I dont want you here at all.
The unidentified woman then berates her neighbor over the intercom and accuses Gipson of appearing out of nowhere and using the food as a ruse, even though he calmly explained his car was parked nearby.

(33,643 posts)Nevertheless, her demeanor and behavior (not to mention how she looks) overall suggests someone on drugs or alcohol on top of being a racist.
Although it could also be she's very ill, health-wise. In which case, I sorta apologize for suggesting otherwise, in advance.

(33,643 posts)Aside from being an obvious racist, safe to say she is NOT a 'well' person.
The cause of the latter condition ... I can't actually be totally sure.

The lady that ordered the food came down to the door and got her food.
I hope that very racist and repulsive woman gets a good talking to by the building management. We're never too old to learn the meaning of equality and good manners.
This was overt racism and nothing less.

(24,639 posts)She'll be Karen'ed and exposed virally, but maybe she wants the exposure? Is she still too stupid to realize how absolutely disgusting she is being? A racist busybody that is willing to expose herself to the world at large? Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame....

I bet she is an alcoholic.

Got to stop all those strangers from getting in HER building!
Throw in a dose of irrational paranoia, the ability to think illogically and overstep their level of involvement and responsibility, and the Karens of the world are a real pain.
Learn to recognize and defend yourself against them.
No hope for this one though. Witches' dunking chair for this Karen.

(4,573 posts)She's not on drugs.
She's not drunk.
She's not mentally disturbed.
She's just racist.
She accused him of being a criminal. She accused him of not having a car, even though he pointed his car out to her. She even pushed up her nose to mock his appearance. She didn't use any actual racial epithets that I could hear, but her actions against him and the person he was delivering the food to were evidence enough.
Tangeranus lifted the rock and let all the maggot racists run free in 2016. It's not just any 'older' generation, though, either. It's the young ones, too. My niece called the north end of my hometown "Mexicoland" because that's where a lot of the immigrants from Mexico came from, and her father even said it was like Mexico up there. Especially because of "the dirt" and "the smell". Now, I don't know if she carried that bigotry with her out to California for college, but I bet there's a sliver of it still in her heart.
It's not just the older generations. And it makes me think that we'll never get past this as a country. Or as a world.
I amend my previous statement. They (racists) are bolder, for sure, but the proliferation of cell phones with cameras and social media in the past five years has been a tremendous help in shining the light on these maggots. For that, I am glad.

(33,643 posts)On top of being a racist.
Look at her confusion over where the person she's talking to on the building intercom ... lives?
She's all "212 Where?". How the hell could they possibly be anywhere else but in the building?
Then listen to her voice when she's saying 'i live here asshole and i pay rent here'. That's not the voice of a sober person ... I know that voice.
I'm in no way suggesting her being either being sick or fucked up on something is remotely mitigating wrt her actions, to be clear.

(32,733 posts)she wouldn't have spoken to him in that manner. In fact, she knew it was 100% safe to berate and verbally abuse him. Except, not this time. Welcome to the Internet.
