#Home Depot ‘Karen’ refuses to wear mask because of ‘white power’

An Illinois woman said she believes in “white power” while explaining why she wasn’t wearing a face mask at a Home Depot, video shows.

The woman, identified by cops as 54-year-old Teri A. Hill, allegedly got enraged when another shopper reminded her to keep her own mask on while complaining to an employee Friday that too many customers weren’t wearing face coverings at a store location in McHenry.

“You know what she did?” shocked fellow shopper Sydney Waters, 34, wrote on Facebook. “She posted up. Told me I wasn’t going to tell her what to f–king do. Then she took her mask all the way off, put it in her pocket and let me now she was going to spit & cough on me.”

Hill then said she didn’t need to comply with the store’s rules due to the color of her skin, video of the encounter posted onto Facebook by Waters shows.

“You’re disrespectful to everyone else in this store,” Waters told Hill. “The entitlement is disgusting.”

“Yes I am entitled,” Hill replied, video shows. “I’m white, I’m a woman.”

Waters, who is also white, then playfully welcomed Hill to “privilege” before asking her why she felt so special, video shows.

“What does you being white have to do with you being able to get your way?” Waters asked.

“Because I’m a white woman,” Hill replied, video shows. “That’s what happens, I believe in white power.”

A fight between the pair ensued and police later arrested Hill at the store on charges of battery and disorderly conduct, the Northwest Herald reports.

Both women had minor injuries in the dust-up, but neither sought medical care, police said.

Hill, of McHenry, was taken into custody after investigators spoke to witnesses at the store and took a look at Waters’ video, the newspaper reports.

Hill, who has been released from custody, could not be reached for comment Monday, according to the Northwest Herald.

Waters, of Johnsburg, was not charged in the fight. She also reportedly accused Hill of ripping off her mask as they wrestled on the ground.

“I’m not a spring chicken anymore – I have bruises everywhere,” Waters told the newspaper. “My shoulder is hurt. Nothing’s broken.”
