Only in Trump’s America Shiloh Hendricks has raised over $180,000 after a video of her allegedly hurling racist phrases at a five-year-old child went viral. You can watch the video on Instagram www.instagram.com/… but beware, it is infuriating. She...
The article makes it appear as if she called the child a slur for no reason at all. Whether her excuse is valid is another question, but you can’t just leave that out.
She basically did. I don’t see a reason for taking her motives into account whatsoever. If she was a kindergartner you’d say something like “I don’t wanna hear it! You don’t call people that.” and that would be the end of it.
Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”?
Would you find it so difficult not to call a kid the N-word if he tried to take your son’s toy?
I already said it’s not an excuse for her behavior but it is important context for the story. The article makes it seem like she called him a slur without any provocation whatsoever. Whether the allegation is true or not is a different story, but it’s definitely leaving out an important detail from the video.
The allegation of theft came from the same person verbally abusing the kid. What possible reason is there to believe her? It’s more likely she was just fabricating an excuse.
Yeah that’s certainly possible but it’s still unfair reporting to just leave out that part of her story.
You could have stopped at “not an excuse”. She used a socially sanctioned word against a child, she revelled in repeating it when questioned, she played victim, claimed doxxing and grifted.
I wouldn’t care whatever inconvenience she may run into.
We’ve since discovered that they can if they become the law
It’s not the words that are hurting you in that case, it’s the people with guns who are enforcing them.
Words can and do lead to actions that physically hurt or even kill.
Shut the fuck up and kill yourself.
…did that feel good to be on the receiving end of, or did it hurt?
Yawn. I’ve heard this so often before it’s lost all impact.
I do grow weary of “news” picking and choosing which facts to present so that they can make a story that gets more clicks.
It’s all manufactured outrage if you ask me. They want you to get mad and stay mad so they can tell you who to hate and what to do about it instead of doing something productive with your life.
Without social media and the Internet, none of us would have ever heard about this incident (or others like it), unless it happened to someone we actually know, and our lives would have likely been better for it. Definitely more peaceful.
You hit the nail on the head. A polarized populace is easier to extract money from. The proof is in how much money poor trump supporters are willing to give to a “billionaire”. There is a whole economy around a polarized populace. News, poloticians, “influencers”, and various businesses like truth social that caters only to a polorized populace. In the end, this is all about money. As it always is.
I would love to discuss with some of the downvoters why they disliked your statement.
Because there aren’t two sides to calling a child a slur. It’s verge straightforwardly wrong every single time.
I don’t really recall anything about two sides. I saw an additional complaint that the new left out context, like they always do, in order to get more clicks.
There is literally NEVER a reason to call a child a slur. How is this so hard for you to understand?
I already said I wasn’t trying to excuse her behavior. It was dumb and unnecessary, and clearly not very helpful.
