2:04Now PlayingSocial media is split on the sale of a certain Halloween costume, with some calling it profiteering off racism and prejudice.
The Karen costume, meant to represent that heavily memed term of entitled white person who calls the cops on Black people, has been slammed as “tone deaf” and “racist.”
BNC’s “Start Your Day” with Shannon Lanier and Najahae Sherman discuss whether or not this is socially blind to the plights of most people. Many say that this is an attempt at profiting off of racism, while others see it as just a joke.
