Shiloh Hendrix Raises $670K on GiveSendGo After Racism Claims
*Dammit. If this ain’t about … anyway, a white Minnesota woman is at the center of controversy after being caught on video admitting to using a racist slur against a 5-year-old Black child. Despite backlash, she has raised more than $670,000 on GiveSendGo, a crowdfunding site popular with conservatives.
Identified as Shiloh Hendrix on the fundraising page, she’s seeking $1 million, citing “great turmoil” in her life. The donations highlight how certain groups have turned her into a cause célèbre, despite public outrage.
What Happened: Racist Incident Sparks Outrage and Support
The incident occurred in Rochester, Minnesota, and was captured on video by Sharmake Omar. The footage shows Hendrix claiming the child “took my son’s stuff” and using the N-word when confronted. When asked if she thought the slur was justified, Hendrix replied, “If that’s what he’s going to act like.”
Omar told NBC News that the child has autism and that his parents are Somali. The video went viral, sparking immediate backlash and media coverage nationwide.

Police Investigation and Legal Developments
Local police confirmed that their investigation has been forwarded to city attorneys for potential charges. As of Monday, efforts to directly contact Hendrix for comment have been unsuccessful, according to NBC News.
The case is now in the hands of legal authorities, and many are closely watching to see if charges will be filed. The story has stirred both outrage and deep division across social media platforms.
GiveSendGo: A Platform Fueling Controversial Fundraisers
GiveSendGo has become a go-to platform for individuals facing backlash, especially among conservatives. It is not the first time the platform has helped controversial figures raise significant sums of money.
- John Eastman, a lawyer linked to the 2020 election plot, raised money for his defense.
- George Alan Kelly, an Arizona rancher accused in a fatal shooting, gained huge donations.
- Daniel Penny, who killed Jordan Neely on a NYC subway, also used GiveSendGo before his acquittal.
Although often linked to MAGA causes, GiveSendGo has been used by other controversial figures outside of conservative circles as well.
Conservative Media and Influencer Push
Right-wing media and influencers have painted Hendrix as a victim of a supposed left-wing “witch hunt.” This narrative has helped fuel donations and kept the story alive among conservative audiences.
Commentators argue this trend reflects a broader “victimhood mindset” within the Republican Party. The financial support shows how backlash can sometimes transform into lucrative opportunities.
Public Reaction and Larger Implications
Many people are outraged that Hendrix is receiving such substantial support despite clear evidence of racist behavior. Critics argue that donating money in her defense sends the wrong message about accountability and justice.
However, her case is not unique. It highlights an ongoing pattern where individuals facing backlash over racism or violence can quickly become financially supported by sympathetic groups online.
