A Rochester, Minnesota mom faced backlash after a video surfaced of her using a racist slur against a Black child at a playground. Alongside this, she launched a fundraising campaign that quickly drew significant donations and far-right support. In response, the local NAACP started a crowdfunding effort to support the victimized child, raising over $320,000. Both campaigns reflect the community's deep divisions on race and the extreme responses elicited by such incidents. The situation has ignited conversations about racism, community support, and the implications of online fundraising.
The online donations for the woman, alongside far-right sympathies, spurred the Rochester NAACP to launch its own campaign for the Black child targeted by her racist remarks.
Hendrix, who initiated a fundraiser for herself after the incident, claimed she was harassed online, crying for community support to relocate her family.
In response to Hendrix's hate-filled remarks, the local NAACP started a campaign that quickly gained over $320,000, uniting community members against racism.
The outpouring of financial support for Hendrix included extreme far-right comments and posed serious questions about community sympathies amid a deeply troubling incident.
