A black music producer recorded the moment a white woman went on a tirade against him as she tried to stop him from entering his gated community.
Isaac Hayes III, the son of the late soul singer Isaac Hayes, posted a video on Instagram showing a white woman interrogating him as he tried to enter his neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia.
‘You trying to get in? Who are you? I’m on the board,’ says the woman, who appears to be intoxicated.
The woman in the video can be heard saying, ‘You driving here like a bat out of hell, you drive in and drive out… F**k you, it’s all ridiculous, we have dogs, we have people and you don’t even care.’
The woman then appears to say, ‘why don’t you be white?’
‘I’ve never seen a Karen in the wild,’ Hayes wrote on Instagram.
‘Well tonight I had my first up close encounter with one. I stayed calm, I made no sudden movements and got away as quickly as I could.
In response to the incident, Isaac Hayes III commented, ‘Outside of preventing me from entering my community, cursing at me and telling me I should be “White”. It’s pretty surreal. White Supremacy is crashin’ out all 2025. Be safe.’

The incident occurred the upscale gated community of Cobblestone at Brookhaven in the Atlanta area, where townhouses go for about half a million dollars.
Hayes III has been in headlines this year over his objection to the Donald Trump’s campaign use of his father’s song, Hold On, I’m Coming.
Hayes Jr, who died in 2008, was the third black person to win an Oscar when he won Best Song for the 1979 film Shack.
The Grammy-award winner also voiced the character of Chef in Comedy Central’s South Park from 1997 until 2006.
In September, a federal judge in Atlanta ruled that Trump and his campaign must stop using the song while the family of one of the song’s co-writers pursues a lawsuit against the former president over its use.
The estate of Isaac Hayes Jr. filed a lawsuit in October alleging that Trump, his campaign and several of his allies had infringed its copyright and should pay damages.

After a hearing on the estate’s request for an emergency preliminary injunction, District Judge Thomas Thrash ruled that Trump must stop using the song, but he denied a request to force the campaign to take down any existing videos that include the song.
Hayes, who died in 2008 at age 65, and David Porter co-wrote Hold On, I’m Coming, a 1966 hit for soul duo Sam and Dave.
Hayes’ son, Isaac Hayes III told reporters he was ‘very grateful and happy’ for the judge’s decision.
‘I want this to serve as an opportunity for other artists to come forward that don’t want their music used by Donald Trump or other political entities and continue to fight for music artists’ rights and copyright,’ he said.
