Minnesota prosecutors filed misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges Tuesday against a woman accused of using a racist slur against a Black child at a playground — an incident the woman has since used to raise more than $800,000 after she appealed for help with relocating.

    I can only imagine news coverage plus the red (and many blue) voters if this was reported as black woman to autistic child and funded to the same by a black Christian group. Quadruple that if she had been a muslim of any colour!

    I hate this woman and what she did. But disorderly conduct is a bullshit charge used pretty much exclusively to punish free speech. Don’t think this will stick. It will burn some of her cash though so that’s good.

    As of Tuesday, she had raised over $800,000 on the Christian fundraising platform GiveSendGo

    Figures.

    Leave it to the Christians to support a racist who bullied a child.

      It wasn’t even ambiguous. It was blatant. A clear cut case of a racist acting out.

          Yes. He Has almost 1.5 million, but that just means that cussing at a five-year-old It’s about as popular as killing a CEO

        I don’t mean to imply that Christians are necessarily white nationalists.

        But I’m not the least bit surprised that the people who are supporting her self-evidently fancy themselves Christians.
