WaPo promotes writer who said ‘Karens’ were lucky blacks didn’t call for revenge

A Washington Post writer who tweeted that white women were “lucky” that black people were “just calling them Karens instead of calling for revenge,” has been promoted by the paper.

Karen Attiah is now a regular columnist on the “race, international affairs, culture and human rights” beat, the newspaper said Thursday. Last summer, the Texas native blamed white woman for racial inequality in a series of tweets, while her employer remained tight-lipped on the ensuring controversy.
