‘Shaddduppp!’: Black Driver Laughs Off Texas Karen’s Eye-Popping Outburst, Then Unleashes a Blunt Comeback That Sends Her Spiraling

A white woman in White Settlement, Texas, blew a gasket on video and took her anger out on a Black driver.

The unidentified woman rolled past a man named Kolohe, from the Hawaiian island of Oahu, and yelled: “I already got you, a–hole. I’m turning it in!”

She held up her phone to film Kolohe all while shouting and driving on a major roadway, actions that could potentially earn her a disorderly conduct charge under Texas law, depending on the circumstances.

Yet she was the one threatening Kolohe with police, and he has no idea why.

He said he was minding his business at a red light on a road with a 25-mph speed limit when he suddenly heard “racist grandma yelling about some Black [expletive].”

His lighthearted response only angered her more.

With a slight chuckle, Kolohe asked the woman if she was mad. It seemed to hit a nerve, as she screamed at the top of her lungs, “F–k you,” and flipped him the bird.

On the surface, the dispute was over the speed limit, but Kohole was convinced he was targeted because of his race.

He got the last word, bursting into laughter and saying, “Shaddduppp, you racist a– old woman,” as she swerved, fuming, into a Walgreens parking lot in the Fort Worth suburb.

White Settlement got its name in the late 1840s, when white homesteaders settled among Native American villages during a period of violent conflict and displacement.

The clip, meanwhile, has taken on a life of its own, and people on social media cannot get enough. Kolohe posted it to Instagram on Oct. 15, and it already has nearly 275,000 views.

“Your laugh at the end [is] killing me,” one person wrote, echoing dozens of comments.

Others were amused by the woman’s crazed fury over something so minor.

“She was shaking!!” quipped one.

Another joked she “had to stop at Walgreens to get her BP [blood pressure] meds after that.”

People debated everything from her political affiliations to the way she wore her earbuds. As one person put it, “Wearing those earbuds upside down says it all.”

No one knows who she is or what set her off, but Kolohe is likely still laughing.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
