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.

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.

Question: What proof do I need that I'm being persecuted against to get some of that sweet Christo-fascist money?

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

Christians aren’t all white nationalists, but Christians who would use a Christian only crowdfunding platform…

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.

Isn't GiveSendGo the platform that Luigi had to use for his defense fund? That would be after GoFundMe deleted the first one.

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

Sounds to me that such a platform would be full of gullible suckers.
