Video of a mom who allegedly directed racial slurs at a little Black boy at a city park has gone viral, prompting a fundraising standoff between the NAACP and an apparent white supremacist move to support the woman.
As of Friday morning, the woman has increased her goal to $1 million, after raising $305,200.
The fundraiser purportedly belonging to Shiloh Hendrix has rapidly shifted its online goal since video footage of her using racial epithets against the boy and a man of color went viral earlier this week.

The video that made the rounds on social media starting Wednesday depicts a man confronting Hendrix about the slur at a playground at Soldiers Field Memorial Park. She repeats the slur to the man behind the camera, at one point telling the man the Black child took something from her and her toddler.
“If he acts like one then he’s going to be called one,” Hendrix could be heard saying in the video.

On the fundraising page, Hendrix claims her family has been put into a “very dire situation” given the attention the video has drawn. Hendrix wrote on the page the Black boy stole from her 18-month-old’s diaper bag at the park and she “called the kid out for what he was.”
“I fear that we must relocate,” Hendrix wrote. “I have two small children who do not deserve this. We have been threatened to the extreme by people online. Anything will help! We cannot, and will not live in fear!”

The Rochester branch of the NAACP on Thursday called on authorities to investigate the incident.
