Another day, another white woman calling the cops on a person of color for absolutely no reason. This time is happened in the liberal enclave of San Francisco, California.
You’ve likely seen the video by now. A white woman by the name of Lisa, along with her husband Robert, threaten to call the cops on a guy for stenciling “Black Lives Matter” on the outside wall… of his own home.
The video was uploaded to Twitter last week, where it has since been viewed over 17 million times.
The women turned out to be Lisa Alexander, the CEO of a skincare line called Laface Skincare, and her husband Robert Larkins, who works in finance. The person they were threatening was Jaime Juanillo, a Filipino man who has lived on the property with his husband for the past 18 years.
How about we take this to the next level?

A white couple call the police on me, a person of color, for stencilling a #BLM chalk message on my own front retaining wall. “Karen” lies and says she knows that I don’t live in my own house, because she knows the person who lives here. #blacklivesmatter pic.twitter.com/rOpHvKVwgP

In an interview with KQED, Juanillo says, “If enough people see incidents like this, then maybe people will actually think about it and change their behavior.”
“She kind of said this very clearly, placating, condescending, speaking-to-a-fifth-grader tone. And that’s what I responded to.”
“You can presume that she knew by calling the police that I could possibly die,” he continues. “She was OK with that. Even knowing that I was just working with chalk, she’s willing to call men with guns.”
Juanillo said this sort of behavior, sadly, is not uncommon in his predominantly wealthy, predominantly white Pacific Heights neighborhood.
“It’s not unusual at all for me to get a look like, ‘Do you belong here?’” he explains, though he notes many of his neighbors are very friendly towards him.
After the incident, Juanillo says Alexander and her husband walked by his house again. He tried getting their attention through the window. When they saw that he did, indeed, live there, they looked back in “total mortification” and ran away.
“They rode that racial bias all the way off a cliff,” Juanillo says.
After being doxed online, Alexander issued a statement saying she was “deeply sorry” for her “racist” actions. Her skincare line has been taken offline. And her accomplice/husband Robert was let go from his job at a wealth management firm.
Juanillo says that he never would have uploaded the video to Twitter had the couple just apologized after learning he really did live in his own house.
“If they had if they had come up to my door and they had apologized, I would have accepted it, not posted this,” he says. “And they could have kept their businesses and lives intact. It was all up to them: Action after action after action.”

Her tone of voice and manner seem like the type of person that would goad a coworker to upset them, then when the co worker finally called them out, she would then say “:I never raised my voice, they’re the problem”.
The passive aggressive manipulation, the fact that she lied, claiming she knew who lived there, the calling the police, all pretty much show that this is who she is.

In that photo above she looks like a serial killer!
I’m white and can’t stand all these “Karens” butting in to other folks business.
I get into trouble all the time for letting white folks have it when they act ignorant. Mind your own damn business and let folks live their lives.

I have no doubt she would have shot him if she’d had a gun on her, she is a sociopath, you can see it in her eyes. Pure hate, that woman has been through something in her life that made her crazy as hell now. Not condoning her but something is going on behind those crazy eyes.

Her (and her husband’s) entire worth as a human being can be summed up in two words:
“Bye Felicia”

I think the year 2020 is going to be one that ALL of us are going to remember till the day we die and maybe even beyond. What can I say? And my hat is off to the Supreme Court for their decision that came out yesterday. WOW! Shocked me!

This year is definitely turning into a crucible for a lot of things, one to tell the grandchildren for sure, a year of crossroads and change, one we will never forget for sure. No matter where you stand on the issues, everything has changed for people on all sides.

This Kooky Koncerned Karen got her face cracked, but despite all these Karens getting busted they just keep raging on. Let’s see if her husband, who’s now out of a job too, is able to get through to her, though I doubt it.

Reminds me of being in middle school and this one homophobic sociopath ( probably closet case ) named Mark who would, in gym class ,grab my hand and put it on his crotch and scream “ he’s trying to touch my dick ! “. These children never grow up they just get bigger.

I saw this story on tv and the newsperson said that the husband had been fired from his job at a financial advice company named Raymond James. Also, the woman’s skincare line Laface Skincare has been dropped by Birchbox due to the video.

This woman has a lien of “skin care” products? Why doesn’t she use them?

I believe she’s the type of individual we call a total “c***.”

It would be ironic if after all this she is the one who had to move out of the neighborhood because they couldn’t afford it anymore.

It’s a wealthy neighborhood in San Francisco. You can count on it.

Awwww, she’s sowwy!? I hope she realizes that if a non-White person did what she did, they would likely have been arrested and charged…that is, if they survived the arrest.

Sadly San Francisco isn’t as “liberal” as it bills itself. Most people of color who have lived there for an extended period know that. I lived on Buena Vista Ave. Pretty upscale and Danny Glover was my neighbor. I got into a bit of a to do when a racist neighbor asked me not to catch the bus in front of his apartment building. The Castro is not much better. Over it.
