Woman raises $250,000 after hurling racist abuse at 5-year-old in viral video: report

A woman caught using racial slurs against a kindergarten-age boy in Minnesota has raised a quarter of a million dollars after video of the incident went viral, according to reports.

Cell phone video spread widely on social media Wednesday showing a man confronting a white woman at a playground at Soldiers Field Memorial Park for allegedly calling the boy the N-word, and she then repeats the slur to the man filming the video and accuses the child of stealing from her, reported the Star Tribune.

“If he acts like one then he’s going to be called one,” the woman says in the video.



The woman was identified on social media as Shiloh Hendrix, of Rochester, and a woman using that name set up a page on a Christian fundraising service saying the video had put her family into a “very dire situation" and justified her actions, saying the boy had stolen something from her 18-month-old’s diaper bag and claiming that she “called the kid out for what he was.”

“I fear that we must relocate,” Hendrix wrote. “I have two small children who do not deserve this. We have been threatened to the extreme by people online. Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear!”

The fundraiser had a goal set for $250,000, and she appears to have collected that much by Friday morning.

One of the anonymous donors listed their name as "Dylan Roof," which is the name of a man who killed nine Black worshipers at a historic Black church in South Carolina in 2015.

…naacp hits back … more …

(Living in fear…Christian fundraising. Uh huh.)

has always been GOP, and it's surrounded by many acres of MAGA-infested farmland. Rural Minnesota is mostly cold Alabama. It doesn't surprise me a bit that racial incidents have happened there, and it doesn't surprise me that a racist cow like this could grift off her own despicable act using a "Christian" fundraising platform. Some mighty fine Christians in those parts.

No one is born a racist, this is taught. Racism was in the fabric of this country before Nafta. You are part of the freaking problem, blaming what is inherent in this country on something that has nothing to do with it. Just SHAMEFUL!!!

Hendrix’s fundraising goal was set for $250,000 and has raised over $265,000, as of Friday morning.

“Many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate,” the Rochester Branch of the NAACP wrote in the campaign.

The GoFundMe campaign added that this is not the only racist incident to occur recently in Rochester.

In April 2024, a racial slur was spelled out using plastic cups in the chain-link fence on the pedestrian bridge over East Circle Drive near Century High School.

After RPD identified four teenagers responsible for the act, former Olmsted County Attorney Mark Ostrem said his office would not file charges in connection with the racial slur in the chain-link fence. While the incident was offensive, Ostrem wrote at the time, it has protection under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Four months later in August, Rep. Kim Hicks, a first-term DFL member of the Minnesota House, found racist graffiti painted on her shed, a swastika on a window of her home, and paint over all but one of the surveillance cameras around her house.

What a friggin bitch ! I want karmic justice upon her and shame on those people who donated to her she is no Christian. I guess her lord and savior is the orange Hitler. And don’t get me started on those awful tattoos. She is probably a druggie seeing how thin she is. And to attack an autistic kid who’s 5 in a playground!
