A Black customer had quite the confrontation with a Karen at a Ross store in Mississippi on July 27. Video of the confrontation posted on social media showed the Black queen defending an employee who was threatened by the Karen.
The incident began when an employee named Elisha was in an aisle doing markdowns when the Karen entered the aisle complaining that Elisha was in her way. Another customer began recording once Auntie confronted Karen.
The Ross employee, Elisha, posted on Twitter that she was the employee that Auntie was defending.
“Girl, it was me but Kay I promise you I did nothing to that lady. She just came on the aisle while me and Miss Helen was doing markdowns & I apparently ‘got in her way.'”
The indignant white woman can be heard playing victim
and ordering another Black employee to call security on Auntie. Auntie began to walk away from the Karen until the she said that she was going to call the police.“I’ll give you a reason to call the police, b****h,” said Auntie.
The Black queen then uttered what we all feel at the end of the video as she walked away arm-in-arm with another Black queen.
“F**k you, racist b****h. That sh*t gonna stop. That sh*t gonna stop. Racist b****h….Sick of you, mfs.”
This is the very beginning of the argument and I’m so appreciative of this lady for speaking up for me. pic.twitter.com/5KxEdyzokI
Karen may also soon feel what the unemployment line feels like. Someone from her alleged employer, Longhorn Steakhouse, reached out to Elisha.
“Hi, Elisha. Please send us a DM with your contact information; we’d like to follow up with you directly.”
