DANGIT KAREN! A New California 911 Bill Dubbed The "CAREN Act" Makes It A Crime For Karens To Call 911 Over Fake Racism

By John Paluska, Founder of The Daily Fodder

We all know at least one... You know, that one person who complains about everything, no matter what. And their reason is whatever the latest Social Media trend is. Well, apparently. California has had enough of the Karen Culture and has decided to give cops a break from Karens with a new bill making it illegal to call 911 over fake racism.

As local Fox 16 reports:

The CAREN Act could impose criminal charges on people who call 911 because of racial bias against another person.

CAREN stands for Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies.

“Karen” is the name many people use on social media to describe people who make false claims about someone of color and call 911.

In San Francisco, a woman called the police on a man for writing “Black Lives Matter” outside his own home. She became known online as the “San Francisco Karen.”

In New York, a woman called the cops on a Black man bird watching in Central Park. There are currently charges being brought upon that woman, dubbed “Central Park Karen.”

While it is true many "Karens" have been calling 911 over fake racism, the article actually gets wrong the history of Karens. According to Know Your Meme, Karen actually means "a slang term used as an antagonistic female character in memes. 'Karen' is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman, sometimes as an ex-wife who took custody of 'the kids.'"

Regardless, this humorous bill shines light on a very real problem of racist people calling the cops on black people for simply doing everyday things, and California has taken a step in the right direction.
