Minnesota mom raises over $700K after calling child racial slur

I had a friend who passed last month unexpectedly due to an undiagnosed heart condition. she was 35 and leaves behind two toddlers. the kid's father, another friend, passed a few years ago.. I was glad we were able to raise almost $100k for those kids and took it as a reflection of her character as she was an amazing person and our circle isn't rich by any means.
Then, a couple weeks ago a 26yo was killed on the job. he leaves behind a pregnant fiance and a 1yr old baby. I felt proud people in the industry donated from far and wide and raised $125k for her.
both very tragic instances but they both kinda restored my faith in humanity...
and then, this shit.. 3/4 of a million so far for some racist c*nt?
I HATE IT HERE.

Film yourselves calling the dogs racial slurs and you'll get more donations in no time.

Probably not wrong. There's another deafblind dog rescue here who named their mascot dog an ableist name. They've been on the today show with him. I refuse to partake.

Case is known even in Europe. There are european right extremists who asked their base to donate.
But I get you.
Edit: they framed it as breaking White Guilt. So they don't donate because the like or even love, but because they think it helps their agenda.
To them this is a political investment.

It is hard to tell what is sarcasm today. Things that we knew were sarcasm years ago because of how absolutely ridiculous it would be to have some things be true.

If anything, things went completely off the rails somewhere around 1997. Think about it: if I told you Elton John, Barbara Streisand, Bryan Adams, and Journey all had Billboard Hot 100 singles in a year that wasn’t in the 80s, you’d probably think I was bullshitting. Let’s not also forget that 1997 was the year the worst U2 album (Pop) came out, and an album entirely in German went platinum (edit: in the US).
Shit got weird in 1997.

What I’ve come to realize is that we were deluded that things were “getting better” and the reality is that the bad guys were always there and had been hiding out to a degree until they felt confident enough to be open.

u/Novenari May 07 '25
Honestly I think it was getting better. I think the amount of misinformation and narrative you can push online and especially social media is the issue.
The assumption would be the idiots in the town square wouldn’t convince rational people. But they convert people like a cult would, not just to use buzzwords. They build a big enough block and then push and push. Could see this early with conspiracy theory nuts and flat earthers. Fringe and just, “Oh it’s harmless, they’re stupid just laugh it off.” But those populations have grown and they build momentum the bigger they get.
Same with fringe far right views. Can say, oh, liberal policy and facts should work, but humans are prey to emotional arguments. Stoking anger and fear and hate is a lot easier than trying to sit people down to look at an argument based on facts and logic.
So the liberal approach needs to have leadership look at the factual issues, and aim to implement policy based on science and evidence… but not get there by arguing it’s what’s right or makes sense. Need to develop emotional appeals and arguments to reach similar end goals. Not easy with how every major social media platform is a huge cesspit and owned by big money now though

I'm thinking about all the fundraisers going on in the world. Palestinians desperately trying to escape Gaza so that they and their families can survive. People begging for money to pay for rent or medical bills and getting nothing.
I'm thinking about the GoFundMe I started earlier this year where I asked for $4k to pay for my cat's medical bills for kidney failure. I got $100. Which I'm super grateful for, but it didn't really put a dent in anything.
None of these people who need help are getting it. But this racist piece of shit who called a child a slur is getting well over half a million dollars simply for being racist.
What a revolting, backwards place the world is sometimes.

Yep, this is what Trump has wrought. When the leadership of a country traffics in racism, grifting and corruption it signals to the common people that it's perfectly okay for them to behave the same way. After all, if the president can be racist, corrupt and grift the people and get away with it, why shouldn't the rest of us?
And that's how a society declines into its worst form, and all pretenses of social cohesion and justice break down and decay. Welcome to the Banana Republican States of America.
