Who is Cara Cahill Lydon? Massachusetts 'Karen' identifies herself as 'KKK racist', calls TikToker 'token Black'
In a startling new video featuring a 'Karen', a Massachusetts woman can be seen admitting she is a 'KKK racist' while taking part in a 'Back the Blue' rally, which has been dubbed as the smallest one ever organized.
The video was filmed in Halifax, Massachusetts and was recorded and shared by TikTok user @dillyonce on Sunday, February 28. The original post maker has since claimed that while the platform had removed the original video initially posted, she soon re-uploaded the clip on her account on Tuesday, March 2. Once the video was shared again, it has gained over 5,000 likes and nearly 40,0000 views in less than 24 hours.

The video sees a White woman whom @dillyonce identifies as Cara Cahill Lydon, standing with a group of other White people most of whom were unmasked. One of them seem to hold up a sign reading 'MA Backs the Blue'. The person filming is a Black woman who also has her companions with her, and one of the people accompanying her can be seen standing just a few feet away from Lydon's group, holding a flag combining the LGBTQ rainbow and the trans pride flag. Atop the dual pride flag sits a Black Lives Matter flag as well.
Attempting to engage in a fiery conversation with the TikToker right at the start of the video, she asks the person filming where the group's 'Black friends' are and looks beyond thrilled to be finally acknowledged by them. "You're a token Black," Lydon tells @dillyonce. Sporting a smug grin, she then admits, "Yes, I'm a racist now. I'm a racist." Keeping her cool, the TikToker tries to have a productive conversation with Lydon but she interrupts her every single time. Her mask tucked under her chin, the 'Karen' boldly proclaims "I'm a KKK racist." Soon the woman's attitude changes as she tells @dillyonce to "Get the fuck out of my face," holding her own phone up like a shield when the film captures her. "You love using your Blackness," she is heard snarling.

In massive support for @dillyonce and her companions at the Blue Lives rally, several TikTok users have rallied around the post-maker and shared the video on social media, even tagging Lydon on Facebook. The self-proclaimed racist seems to have since deleted her Facebook account as a search for her name doesn't pop up anymore. Several users also said the account wasn't available when they tried to track it down.
But users are riled up and they are not going to stop seeking vengeance at just that clearly, as some have even spent time searching Lydon's employer in hopes that they are able to get her fired. Some others even wished that last December's iconic Twisted Tea Guy made an appearance. For those clueless, back in December 2020, a video surfaced on the internet where an Ohio Black man could be seen flinging his can of Twisted Tea at the face of a White male Karen after the latter started hurling racist abuses at him.
