Being a
Karen/
Kevin: (Predicate Nominative Phrase): A crime punishable by law equal in consequence to false reporting, defamation of character and/or murder. Definition: When a white person involves themselves without prompting in the
life or business of a person of color, who is not committing any crime, in order to jeopardize their ability to pursue happiness, maintain freedom(s), and/or preserve their own
life--potentially stripping said person(s) of their inalienable rights. Karens and Kevins commit this crime (categorized under False Reporting and Defamation of Character & up to Murder, in rare cases) under the guise of care and concern and offering a helping hand(however incapable), entitlement, and/or unsolicited Saviorism if their intentions are good or ignorant, yet the impact on targeted people of color is exactly the same. More often this crime is committed with
mal-intent by overt racists who proudly jeopardize the
life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of said victims of color. This crime is punishable by law, usually at the level of misdemeanor to felony, but the offender
may receive up to a life sentence, if there is loss of
life or punitive damages as a result of a
Karen's/
Kevin's carefully, careless actions.
Being a
Karen/
Kevin should be a crime punishable to the full extent of the law. A Karen made a false report on me saying that I harassed children under the age of 18 in my neighborhood. I've been through 6 months of court proceedings, but thankfully, my lawyer has assured me that I
will walk out of the courtroom with him; if I were to be charged with this misdemeanor, I may no longer have unsupervised visits with my kids, and my
22-year-teaching career would end if I were blacklisted.
