N-Word Nightmare: Democrats Join NAACP in Condemning White Mother’s Viral N-Word Tirade And Raise Cash For Black Family

Shiloh Hendrix, a white Minnesota mom, is public enemy number one for the NAACP after a viral video showed her screaming the N-word at a 5-year-old Black child in a park. The civil rights group is livid, calling her “threatening” tirade “unacceptable” and demanding criminal charges.

In a world where a single word can ignite a digital inferno, Shiloh Hendrix, a white mother from Rochester, Minnesota, has hurled herself into the eye of a racial storm.

Caught on camera saying the N-word to a 5-year-old black child, Hendrix is now raking in cash from supporters who see her as a martyr against “woke” culture.

At the time of this publication, Hendrix has amassed a whopping $462,330 in donations from her supporters, some white folks who feel like they’ve become punching bags in the era of “white guilt” and “white privilege” post-BLM.

Meanwhile, the Rochester NAACP is swinging back, demanding justice and rallying funds for the black child’s family in a saga that’s less about a park scuffle and more about America’s raw, racial divide.

The Rochester Branch of the NAACP is pushing hard for legal action against Hendrix, who was filmed using racial slurs against a young Black child at Soldiers Field Memorial Park on Tuesday.

NAACP President Walé Elegbede called the act “vile, hate speech, dehumanizing, and racist,” urging Rochester police and prosecutors to investigate and file charges.

"She's fundraising on this, and that's abhorrent. She needs to face legal consequences," Elegbede told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

The organization launched a GoFundMe campaign, “Help Us Seek Justice for a 5-Year-Old Facing Racial Hate,” aiming for $250,000 to fund legal support for the child’s family and anti-racism initiatives.

At the time of this publication, the campaign launched by the NAACP has raised $192,651.

Rochester lawmakers, all of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party, issued a statement Friday condemning Hendrix's "vile acts of racism," and, of course, blamed President Donald Trump for Hendrix's actions.

“We commend the gentleman who recorded the encounter for standing up and protecting one of our youngest community members, a five-year-old boy, from this targeted hate," a press release from Sen. Liz Boldon, DFL-Rochester and Reps. Andy Smith, Kim Hicks, and Tina Liebling states. "We condemn these vile acts of racism in the strongest way possible. This disgusting rhetoric has no place in our community, and we’re grateful that a bystander took action and prevented further escalation by the perpetrator.

“This type of learned hate has been fueled by the Trump Administration’s own rhetoric, empowering those with hate in their heart to shamelessly spread it around," the liberal lawmakers continued. "This has created real consequences for our friends, family members, and neighbors. We must all take the initiative to call out hatred and bigotry wherever we see it and have conversations with those close to us, including our children, about why we must not follow in the footsteps of these bullies, no matter if they’re in the White House or on the playground."

Hendrix alleges the disabled black child stole from her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag, and justified her slurs on her GiveSendGo campaign by saying she “called the kid out for what he was.”

Her campaign continues to surge every hour, fueled by donors, some linked to white nationalist sentiments, who decry “archaic nonsense” over a word

"We must secure an existence for our people and a future for White children," one anonymous donor wrote.

Another donor declared, "The white race in this country is tired of the double standards. It's time to stand for our rights also."

Hendrix updated her campaign on Friday, thanking her supporters.

"We have to keep fighting for the safety of all our families, not just mine," she wrote.

Rochester police are “actively looking into” the incident, with no charges filed as of May 2.

Mayor Kim Norton condemned the act, pledging to bolster anti-racist efforts.

The man who recorded Hendrix, identified as Sharmake Beyle Omar, has faced scrutiny over unverified allegations of a criminal past.

The NAACP noted this is the third racist incident in Rochester this year, citing prior vandalism and graffiti.

As both sides dig in, one thing’s clear: in 2025, a single slur can still split a nation, and the internet’s always ready to pour gas on the flames.
