And she is choking the dog in the video !! Fire this Karen!

Steve25mSteve this guy is not a black man, he is a black jerkoff.. sounded like he premeditated doing that!

What happens when she goes to a public place like a restaurant? Hate is out of control, she should be charged big fine and a little time like anything else for false reporting. Oh'wait, she had a mask on, she a good outlaw then.. LOL

Franklin Templeton needs to dismiss the employee unless she reflects the current corporate culture of Franklin Templeton. If its just a suspension, then all will know what Franklin Templeton supports due to their corporate culture which will be seen as racism.

And she was so caught up in her perceived superiority that she was choking her dog. poorhenry

Glad there are consequences for racism

SUSPEND! Fuck her. That is gross misconduct and conduct unbecoming. How could you ever trust her again? I hope 1 thing comes of this and that is every customer calls up and demands her dismissal or removes their funds from the company. Make it clear you won’t tolerate it.

Lame.

[SpikeLeeJoint's Bamboozled was a flop in cinemas. Yet this explosive satire has come to be seen as a masterpiece... Bamboozled is now considered “a history lesson on decades of screen (mis)representation, a look back in anger but also profound sorrow”

Honestly, I'm glad he did the smart thing and recorded it.

Investment Firm? Holy Sh......

The action is appreciated, but not clear or deterring enough to stop such in the future. I suggest sack, fines, and prosecution. Remember, this could have turned out differently if it wasn't recorded.

It's too bad. Hopefully she will learn from this.

karenmemes only suspends this Karen? Fire here.

thisisinsider So shameful, so sad. Why?

Awful title that does not reflect what actually happened and what she did. It was racist and unwarranted.

Welldone! This will go out as a clear message to all those who feel everything can be said or done under “freedom of speech”
