Title
Cardboard placard reads "Karen you have the power to stop this! Call the manager!"
Description
The name 'Karen' has in 2020 come to represent a white entitled woman who may 'ask for the manager' when things do not go her way. It is a humorous commentary on the privilege that white women hold whilst imploring the white community to use that same privilege with the BLM movement.
