A taser-wielding white woman's rant against an innocent Black family has gone viral on social media this week after she told them to "act more like white people".
Per a report by TooFab.com, the incident in question was recorded by a Black woman named Jariell - who hails from Discovery Bay in California - who was able to record the tense encounter on her phone and on her home security camera.
The footage shows the woman (who has not been identified) storming up to the family's front porch and claiming that their family's pit bull had attacked her poodle.

In the first clip, the irate older white woman can be heard asking Jariell's brother:
"Why are you so nasty? You know what? You are a Black person in a white neighborhood, and you're acting like one. Why don't you act like a white person in a white neighborhood?
"You know what? You guys are acting like Black people when you shouldn't, you should act like white people."
Jariell's brother denied any wrongdoing on the part of his pet and insisted that he had video evidence of the white woman petting his dog in a friendly manner, disproving her claim that their dog was aggressive.
In response to this, the white woman retorted: "I pet the dog because I wanted to see if he was okay... You know where you're gonna go? You're gonna go to Hell. Because I'm going to sue the hell out of you. Both of you."

She added:
"I have a top secret clearance, you know what's going to happen to you guys?... Are you white? Well, you look like you're white... I was raised with Black people and they were very nice in other places..."

Sharing the incident with her 1,200 followers Jariell wrote: "Discovery Bay, CA. I am TIRED of living this way. I am TIRED of passive aggressiveness. I am TIRED of the fake smiles. I am TIRED that I don’t feel safe in a house that I’ve lived in for 10+ years cause of the color of my skin. #karensgonewild #blm #racisminamerica [sic]"

A number of other Twitter users have since reacted to the footage, lending Jariell and their family their support, and condemning the so-called "Karen".

For instance, one person wrote: "She deserves everything coming her way in all seriousness. I am sorry this happens to you guys, truly, when I see this I am so grateful that my kids don’t have to deal with this much b.s. bcus of the colour of their skin. [sic]"
Sadly, this is far from the first time that we've reported on a racist incident like this. Back in October, a man recorded a woman who threw a puppy at him while delivering a racist tirade to his face.
