In this short YouTube excerpt, two speakers discuss a recent controversy involving Vlad, a white social‑media personality, and a Black Princeton professor who tweeted that white people should not voice opinions about hip‑hop. Vlad responded to the professor’s tweet by questioning her stance and then threatened to contact her employer at Princeton, implying he would use his whiteness to jeopardize her job. The speakers criticize Vlad’s behavior as an example of a ‘Karen’‑type exertion of white privilege, arguing that his intervention was unnecessary and aimed at silencing the professor’s criticism.

When the Kendrick Lamar Drake thing was going on, he was giving his two cents. We don't care, we don't give a damn. Um, there was a Black woman, and he cannot stand when Black women put him in his place. And she said to him—
Jerkins would write, you are white, this is a Black folk affair. After doing some research on her social media profile, Vlad would respond to that tweet with, wait, so a professor at Princeton is telling me that a white person shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion about hip-hop?
Is that how you interact?
She said what she said. However, Vlad would once again respond, this time with a threat that didn't go over too well online. He said, don't try to change your words now, I'll be reaching out to Princeton about this on Monday.
Not Vlad exercising his whiteness to call her job and tag her job to try to get her fired all because she said this ain't none of your business.
