In the last few weeks, white women such as Amy Cooper and Lisa Alexander have found themselves going viral online after they have been recorded calling the cops on people of color in situations where they really didn't have to.
Social media has since nicknamed people who do so "Karen" - with Dictionary.com describing the name as a "mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious, middle-aged white woman."
Now, the internet has found "Kroger Karen", a white woman who was caught on camera using her body and stroller to block a black woman from exiting a Detroit Kroger parking lot.
Mom-of-three Shaneeka Montgomery-Strickland live-streamed the confrontation to Facebook on Saturday, in a video that shows how a white woman had positioned herself and a young child behind the bumper of the car.
You can see the confrontation in the footage below:Montgomery-Strickland told FOX 2 Detroit that the incident allegedly started back inside the store, when the stranger yelled at her son for stepping onto a shelf in order to reach a bottle of Gatorade.
Speaking of the stranger's outburst, Montgomery-Strickland said: "It was irateness."
When the two women reached the parking lot, the situation continued to escalate, as the other woman - who was pushing a young girl in a stroller - approached Montgomery-Strickland a second time and reportedly called her a "b***h". The woman then stood by Montgomery-Strickland's car with her child in the stroller, leaving her unable to leave.
Speaking on the live-streamed video, Montgomery-Strickland says:
"I have a woman standing behind my car telling me I cannot leave. This is ridiculous. I'm out here trying to do my job, me and my kids - do you see this lady? Standing here behind my car refusing to leave."
Montgomery-Strickland added: "All this stuff going on out here protesting and everything and this is what this woman is doing.
"You cannot hold me here! You cannot hold me at a store!"
Unlike the situations of Cooper and Alexander, however, it was Montgomery-Strickland who was forced to call the police in order to get law enforcement to intervene.
When officers arrived, the white woman quickly approached them and can be seen gesturing towards Montgomery-Strickland and her children.
The remainder of the video shows Montgomery-Strickland and a Kroger employee appearing to provide their own statements to the police, and one officer can be heard saying "there's no law that's been broken, though."
It is unclear whether the cop was referring to Montgomery-Strickland's vehicle being blocked or the actual recording of the incident.
In a follow-up live-stream from inside of her car, Montgomery-Strickland described the incident as "about the craziest thing [she'd] ever ever experienced."
You can see Montgomery-Strickland's follow-up video below:She also discouraged her children from name-calling.
The first video has since received over 140,000 views, as of this writing, and the comments section ignited, with many Facebook users labeling the woman "Karen":
Explaining why she shared the video online, Montgomery-Strickland explained to FOX 2 Detroit:
"This needs to be known. You can't just, like hush, hush about everything and keep on letting people get away with nonsense.
"I've gotten a lot of responses. People are very angry and upset about it because they say it makes no sense. What is wrong with people? Why are they still out here doing this after all that's going on, all the changes we're trying to make? After Black Lives Matter? It makes no sense."
