The woman goes on to state: “You’re not American,” to which Powell responded “How am I not American? I was born and raised here.”
The pale-skinned, blonde-haired Karen then claimed to be a Black woman and former slave.
“My family came here on the Mayflower and I was a slave,” she said. When Powell asks about the link to slavery, the woman said “Because I was Black and my last name is Howard.”
The gym staff ultimately calls the police of the woman and as she is being detained she repeatedly screams, ”I can’t breathe!”

According to TMZ, the woman was given a misdemeanor citation at the scene for obstructing an officer. She was then taken to a local hospital on a psychiatric hold.
