Earlier this month, we citizens saw another seemingly irrelevant story of local racial conflict trend nationwide.
A Caucasian New York City nurse/physician’s assistant, Sarah Comrie, found herself dubbed “Citi Bike Karen,” after a young black man alleged that she had tried to take one of the big-city rental bikes from him during a brief street scuffle. From what I can piece together of the teenager’s story, he claimed that he had paid for the bike and that an angry and exhausted Comrie — who was six months pregnant and had just completed a twelve-hour shift — attempted to jack it from him and a group of several of his friends.
