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 is missing an important fact, namely that the child allegedly tried to steal from her. There is no video evidence of this (as far as I know), but it probably should have been mentioned in the article.
Not saying that’s an excuse for her behavior, but it does provide some background as to why she’s claiming to be a victim.
It matters exactly zero why she did it. I mean they could have mentioned her alleged motive it in the article but it’s far from an important fact imo.
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.
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.
I would love to discuss with some of the downvoters why they disliked your statement.
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”?

A 5 year old taking your personal belongings is cause for a learning opportunity. Anyone who would call their self a victim is just pathetic.
What would you say could have been learned from this?
Talk to the childs parent. Be polite, the more polite, the more embarrassed the parent will be. Then the child will learn a lesson from thier parent.
The guy in the video didn’t seem all that interested in his son’s behavior, although it’s hard to tell if it was because he was more offended about the slur. I don’t really see any winners here, they both acted like idiots if you ask me.
As a father, I can understand his reaction as recorded. He is defending his kid from essential an adult attack. Sounds like he saw her chasing his kid. Had she discussed it politely, he very likely would have been focused on the misbehavior of his own child. No guarantees of course. But the kids are 5. He may have been looking to start a game of chase with the other kid or something. They just don’t know how things are done, and they have to learn. Reacting with racial slurs to normal 5 year old behavior just totaly destroys the chance for learning.
Agreed. Clearly the slur was not helpful, as it escalated the situation instead of defusing it (big surprise, I know).
It’s just disappointing to see grown adults act just as irresponsible as the children they are supposed to care for.
