It’s infuriating, but it’s not that much money. Imagine all those people on average sent $10. 15,000 people max. Thats like, one small fucking town in America. One small, very red, white and racist town. It doesn’t represent all of the USA.

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.

Not being protective of telling children anything such, but I have used ethnic slurs in the past, especially when answering other insults. And when you were being unjustly attacked, then slipped and said something bad, and then are being attacked for that too as if that justified the beginning, then it's a natural reaction to double down on the unfortunate words too.

So, eh, depends on the situation. I think I have right to answer people attacking me and putting me into a fight-or-flight situation with any words, they'll still be in the wrong. But if this is not what happened, then using someone's race as an argument worthy of repetition should be punished.

I mean, I am sorry, but doxxing her SSN is a pretty disproportionate response lmao

Why? The N-word in this context seems much more harmful.

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!
