The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for July, 2020

How can I possibly make a decision on this topic? There are so many ass clowns swarming out from under the rocks turned over by Der Furor that it's all but impossible to identify a single one. At this point, it's easier to identify not one ass clown, but a general class thereof ... and so it is that I have decided to designate

The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for July, 2020

as

The Karens

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term, a "Karen" in the woebegotten year of 2020 is defined as: "a woman perceived to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is considered appropriate or necessary. A common stereotype is that of a racist white woman who uses her privilege to demand her own way at the expense of others."

There are a number of behaviors illustrative of a "Karen," including (but not limited to):

1. Displays of Overt Racism: Generally acting like a moron. Examples include: immediately calling the police to report a minority person perceived as threatening, in the 'wrong' place, or otherwise objectionable; and using ethnic slurs without thought or concern for the feelings of others.

2. Belief in Extreme Entitlement: demanding service or attention beyond that provided to others, particularly those who are members of a minority. Examples include: loud use of the expressions "Do you know who I am?" and "I want to see a manager!"; and demanding priority of service over others, regardless of how long those others have been waiting.

3. Insistence That Personal Rights or Privileges Override the Rights, Safety, or Privileges of Others: refusing to behave in a safe and reasonable fashion by claiming that actions considered unsafe or threatening by others are unconstitutional abridgments of one's god-given, inalienable rights as an American citizen. Examples include: failure to wear a mask or observe social distancing in public places; refusal to vaccinate children; and ostentatious carrying of large and powerful weapons in public places. 

It should be noted that while the term "Karen" refers to women, there are plenty of male equivalents, who are known as "Kens" or "Kevins" and are equally as obnoxious.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the Group Award for Right-Cheek Ass Clown for July, 2020, is presented to The Karens, and to their male counterparts, The Kens. At a time that cries out for good behavior and decency toward each other, they have worked hard to earn our condemnation.

Have a good day. Don't be a Karen or a Kevin, wash your hands, wear a mask, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. See you then.
