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!

Lawsuit and send all that money to the child's family. If this actually happened, it would be fucking hilarious to see the reaction from those assholes that sent her money.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

She’s just copying trump. Get called a rapist, get convicted, act the victim, all the incels on the planet bail him out.

[–] MiyamotoKnows@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

People and employers should find out who her contributors are.

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

Plenty of fucked up neo-Nazi compound nutters supporting her worthless ass.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

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

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (5 children)

There's no such thing as a good Christian. They're all just hate-filled assholes itching to go back to lynching.

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

What an ignorant thing to say. I don’t agree with their position on the supernatural, but my generalization ends at their truth claims.

There are many good Christians, good Muslims, good pagans, good satanists, etc. And many bad among them too. Because good and evil is a different axis than theism and atheism. Nice though it would be if everything were so neatly orthogonal.

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

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago

The fascists are getting too comfortable.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who tf is funding her? Get their names and publicly shame them now. This is NOT ok.

Just check the names who donated. For example "AryanBarbarian"

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 72 points 2 days 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.

And those same people who gave her money are also the first ones to say, “I have no money.”

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

The prices are too high, I have not a bean!

[–] chrischryse@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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)

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Can you really say there is not a chance Trump would get involved somehow, get her up on stage etc. Not sure the /s is needed.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 177 points 2 days ago (17 children)

From one of the top donors, just insane...

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 89 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not a white nationalist, but reading that makes me wish they were at risk of extinction as they cry about it.

the world will be better without racists.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Their idea of "white genocide" is white people consensually having children with non white people.

So, I'm doing my part for white genocide and proud of it.

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

IE, normal normal population dynamics.

[–] yaslam@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (5 children)

"The White race is under threat of impending extinction every day" Dafuq is this

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

They think "white genocide" is when a white person consensually has a child with a non white person. So they want to remove all non white people and create a white Ethnostate to "preserve the white race".

Nazis. Just Nazis.

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.
