Minnesota woman charged with disorderly conduct for using racist slur against Black child; her fundraising tops $800,000

essentialsaltes · 2025-08-27T13:29:42-0500

As of Tuesday, she had raised over $800,000 on the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo — including many donations that came in after the charges were announced — with a stated goal of $1 million.

[the three counts have a max penalty of 90 days and $1,000.]

I am not surprised by a racist throwing a racial slur at a 5 or 8-year-old. They are out there. But, I am gob smacked that Christians would donate $800,000 in support of her. I think those donors and I have very different understandings of Christianity.

One wonders if there isn't more to the story. Just maybe.

I certainly hope so or I am going to be really disappointed in a bunch of Christians. I tried to look for it in the article, but could not find anything that makes it look better.

Amen.

What on earth is she going to do with all that money? She doesn’t deserve it.

She might get even more now that she is being charged with a crime.

Disgusting! I can never understand the thought process of these people.

Much of Christian fundraising is total sham!!! Take your rewards(theft) now, it will all be burned up later!

26 Then you will say, 'But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' 27 And he will reply, 'I tell you, I don't know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.' [Luk 13:26-27 NLT]

While so many Christians in third world countries, struggle to get by.

The fundraiser itself wasn't particularly Christian. Although I am sure many Christians participated.

And admitted murderer Karmelo Anthony raised almost $600,000, which his family promptly spent on cars and a nicer house, and are asking for $1.5 million more.

Why are Christians donating to racist causes?

It takes a few seconds to load. There's several of them.

Maybe it’s something other than a person with racist attitudes?

Looks like people have flooded the site with copycat 'campaigns', mostly anti-Shiloh, but some supportive or pretending to be her.

There is, but it still doesn't cast her in a particularly flattering light.

Basically, an 8 year old Somali boy took something from her bag and ran, and she chased him to try to get it back and she called him the N-word.

And when the cameras came out and started filming her and asking why she said it, she said something to the effect of "well, if he's acting like one..."

I assume many of the donors probably donated without knowing the full story, or were being given a very one-sided version of the story from right-wing youtube personalities that was probably attempting to frame it as "A black kid stole from her, and in a moment of frustration, she said something out of anger and is now having her life ruined"

It's also quite possible that it's mere "prove a point/make a statement" retaliation for the Karmelo Anthony fundraiser. I did see people (presumably using fake accounts) on Facebook posting things to the effect of "Oh, so it's okay to raise money for someone who actually killed someone else, but when the races are reversed it's unacceptable to raise money for someone who called someone a name for taking something from their purse?"

The fundraiser (which appears to have been taken down) was claiming that the money was for relocation. According to her, since the incident, she's gotten death threats and people have leaked her social security number...although there's no way to verify her claims about that.
