Over the last week, white supremacists, antisemites and racists have been supporting a woman accused of calling a Black child a racial slur by helping to coordinate her donation drive and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have leveraged the fundraising campaign to spread hateful talking points and legitimize their ideas. The woman, identified in media reports as Shiloh Hendrix, was depicted in a video that began circulating on social media on April 28, 2025, allegedly accosting a Black five-year-old at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota. In the video, the man recording asks the woman if she called the child a n***er, and she responds by hurling the slur at the man recording as well. On May 1, 2025, a crowdfunding campaign was created on GiveSendGo—a prominent facilitator of extremist crowdfunding—to raise funds for Hendrix. It is unclear who was authentically involved in creating the campaign, although several X users known to promote extremist and anti-Black rhetoric have since claimed shared responsibility for coordinating the effort. They assert that Hendrix will be the primary recipient of the funds, and the GiveSendGo campaign page indicates this is the case. The GiveSendGo campaign immediately went viral on X, and the link to the page was mentioned over 25,000 times in the days that followed the circulation of the video. As of this writing, the campaign has received over $700,000 of its $1,000,000 goal from over 26,500 donors, with many of the donation comments containing white supremacist, racist and antisemitic messaging, names and denominations.
