Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A self-respecting person would return that money. But I doubt she is.

She's one of them hence why she's even on that site.

From the site:

 I called the kid out for what he was.

She's one of them.

I thought for sure "1022" was going to be some neo-nazi number. As far as I can tell, it's not.

That's the result of them passing the hat around their local militia.

That moment when calling a child a racist slur in order to start a gofundme crosses your mind as a legitimate business tactic...

Imagine deciding you’re going to donate to the charity of calling children the n word. This is why everybody thinks the US is a fucking joke.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 71 points 1 day ago (13 children)

The video does not include her saying it to the kid directly, but to the man (presumably father) confronting her, multiple times. Then she admits that yeah she did call the child the n-word because "he acts like one".

She proudly and defiantly doubled and tripled down on it while being openly filmed. All she had to do was move on and nobody would have been the wiser. In a normal world, this would be a clear case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

I truly hope the (presumably) dad also has some fundraising going on.

She continued her victimhood, “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!”

Fucking asshole.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago

100% true, her children do not deserve to deal with her shit.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

The Karen self defense mechanism, use children as a meat shield

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Her children do not deserve it.

OTOH, she's actively raising them into full-blown racists.

Yet again, she might not succeed.

You don't even have to ask in what racist shithole country that happened.

And she's raising the cash on a supposedly "christian" go fund me-type site. Apparently "do unto others..." is not a thing with maga christians

I'm glad to know I'm not a cunt who plays victim. I hate the n word but if I said it and got my ass kicked I wouldn't be mad because I'll know I deserved it.

I hate how these people play victim whenever they face consequences....but can't wait for Trump to give her the Medal of Honor. ( /s for the trump part)

I guess her defense was that he was acting like a little n-word. Then other racists were like nodding their head saying I support this.

I know what I want to say would get me permabanned on Reddit. How does that work here, I wonder?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

These profligates need to be lashed to crosses and feasted on by ravens, burn their houses to the ground and salt the earth. Let their names be shouted to the sky so that all know what damned well happened, removing their name implies shame for one action and there is no shame in killing fascistic dogs.

In the video she said the other child stole from hers so she called him the n word because "he acts like one". They want everyone to be able to "call a spade a spade" so let's apply that to them too. This bitch and everyone who's donated money to her are fascist scum and deserve to be treated accordingly.

This story reads like AI slop to get people angry which DailyKOS is known for. There's a what happened, but there's quite a few details missing.

edit: I found it on NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/video/video-shows-woman-using-racist-slur-on-playground-238830661724
