Deconstructing Karen — an alarming, so-called documentary streaming on CBC — professes to combat white supremacy..But really, it’s an intolerant racist attack on white women by militant, bullying, obnoxious, steely-eyed American racial activists who didn’t conceal their contempt for them..The setting is a dinner party in Denver in 2019 with ten white female guests of diverse ages and backgrounds. One’s in an inter-racial marriage, a couple have strong ties to the American Indian or Hispanic communities, and another had slave-owner ancestors. It’s hosted by Race2Dinner co-founders Regina Jackson and Saira Rao. They hold court at the head of the table, wag accusing fingers, mock guest’s comments — and condemn them for being complicit in white supremacy..CBC shamelessly promotes this hit job as a “radically open conversation on racism,” that takes white women on an “eye-opening journey, discovering how they uphold white supremacy every day.”.It's an example of wasted tax dollars in the $1.2 billion publicly funded CBC that aired Deconstructing Karen September 23. It appears no American media saw fit to air it, but some US outlets called attention to the CBC doing so..According to Deconstructing Karen, only white women are Beckys or Karens, disparaging terms used to describe “entitled” woman who use their privilege to oppress people of color..Race2Dinner claims it aims to “get white women on board for humanity to have any hope” by changing “cultural DNA.” It’s really an attempt to just “get” white women..Jackson and Rao have a lucrative gig going. Women pay $2,500 to attend their dinners — with candles, and wine — to be belittled, interrupted, smirked at and told white women are complicit in hurting and killing people of colour..The Race2Dinner website states: “Dear white women, you have caused immeasurable pain and damage to brown and black women. We are here to sit down with you to candidly explain how you caused this pain and damage.”.“We don’t care about your feelings… Your feelings pale in comparison to the violence you have caused black and brown women.”.“Our goal is to dig out the tumor called white privilege, power, control and reveal it for what it is, as an even more sinister and toxic form of RACISM. You are an integral part of this system. It is time for you to own that,” it states..That drips with hate..At dinner, Jackson expressed her contempt for white women. “You know what I expect of white women? Not a damn thing. I expect nothing of you because you have never given me anything. I can’t trust you.”.In 2018, Jackson bitterly said she’d “given up on white people” after losing her bid for a Democrat seat in Congress. She explained the “market” Race2Dinner targets is “white women who call themselves liberal or progressive or Democrat.” They must “not only change themselves, but begin to change their children, their families, their coworkers, their friends, the foot of white supremacy.”.Sounds cult-like, no?.Rao, the daughter of Indian immigrants and a social media personality also failed a bid to win a Democrat seat in Congress. She recently tweeted: “If you are a Republican, you are a Nazi” and posted a photo of a former president Donald Trump rally..“I know it sounds bizarre, but I used to be a feminist white woman trapped in a brown body,” she told the guests..“And then I woke up and I started doing anti-racism. Or when I first started talking about racism, I think the thing I was totally unprepared for was when, you know, you just talk about white people, you say the worst white people, and those white people want to come and kill you.”.Bottom line in that 'word salad' is that white people want to kill black people..Rao told the women how not to behave..“We have one rule in that is if you're going to cry, leave this table and go into the living room there and there's some Kleenex and whatever you need. Anybody know why we would have that rule?” asked Rao. She explained “when a white woman cries” the “attention” is deflected on her, not the problem..“I want a show of hands of everyone at this table, who is racist?”.Some of the women, including Rao, put up their hands. Oddly, Jackson didn’t..One woman was blasted for saying she’s colour-blind..“Colour-blindness is white supremacy. When you say you are colour-blind you are racist,” said Rao..A guest pointed out she’s in an inter-racial marriage and has “dark-skinned children.”.Rao lectured her in a disgusting way..“Being married to a black person or brown person, having brown or black children does not make you impervious to racism. You cannot, frankly, f**k your way out of racism…”.Then women were asked: “How many of you would trade places with a black person in this society raise your hand?”.They looked confused..At one point, Rao lit into a guest for being shocked by a story she told about a race-related encounter she allegedly had in an elevator. “When people of colour trust you enough to tell you their story, believe us without expressing shock because when you express shock, it pushes you away from the blame,” she said. When another guest tried to speak, she was shut down for “making it about” her..Genevieve, whose home the dinner was served at, identified as a “liberal white woman” and mocked one guest who said she loved people no matter the colour of their skin..“We are the most dangerous women that exist because we want to think we're better, we are good, and that we're doing is about love. And now we're going to solve all the world's issues 'cause we're going to love a little more?” she said..Near the end, the women were again asked: “Who is racist?”.After being told they’re basically pond scum, all raised their hands admitting their complicity in white supremacy..So, what did this excuse of a documentary accomplish other than padding Rao’s and Jackson’s bank accounts?.Why would anyone pay $2,500 to be attacked by these intolerant, toxic women?.Why would the CBC air drivel that accuses and demeans the white women taxpayers it feeds off?.It bolsters the fear-mongering Liberal government agenda needlessly dividing Canada..White people are hateful and bad. Everyone else is a victim..Due to a high level of spam content being posted in our comment section below, all comments undergo manual approval by a staff member during regular business hours (Monday - Friday).
