A Black TikToker has accused a white woman of telling her that she is not permitted to use a dog park located in her own neighborhood.
Last week, the Black TikToker whose username is @johnehall, uploaded video of the confrontation to her TikTok account, which has garnered nearly 200k likes.
In the viral video captioned “Just trying to use the dog park behind my house that I’ve used for years she says IM not allowed to use it,” a white woman is seen addressing @johnehall while standing at a gate with her poodle.
It’s not clear what the white woman is saying because the TikToker used a voiceover in the video that said “When you’re Black you’re never really lonely because there will always be a white person all up in your business.”

“I feel so bad for the dogs and the kids that belong to miserable people like that cause they never get away,” a user wrote.
“She misses her ‘whites only’ signs,” another user said.
“[White] people really can’t mind their business! Like they always have to [stick] their nose in something that doesn’t involve them,” another TikTok user stated.
Although the majority of those who commented on the video thought that the white woman’s actions were not appropriate, one user thought @johnehall was fueling racism by posting the video and said, “It has nothing to do with race. Karen’s come in all shapes and colors. #stoptheracism.”
In a follow-up video, it appears that @johnehall’s family confronted the white woman and a white man about the ordeal at the dog park.
A woman who seems to be a relative of @johnehall, reminds the white woman that they have lived in their residence long before she moved there and that she needs to stop harassing her family.
"You need to stop harassing my kids, stop videotaping and stop calling the police on them. They’re walking their dogs up here. Do not send me anymore cards in the mail apologizing for your actions in the way you act towards my children.”

At the end of the video, @johnehall’s relative threatened the white woman with a civil suit if she continued to harass her family.
