America’s social fabric is unraveling, and crowdfunding is intensifying the divide. My latest video, Murder vs Slur: The Crowdfunding PROXY WAR, explores two divisive cases. Karmelo Anthony, a Black teen accused of murdering a white peer, raised $515,000 on GiveSendGo, with funds reportedly used for a home and security. Shiloh Hendricks, a white woman who used a racial slur against a Black child, collected $180,000 for “safety.”
Murder’s irreversible harm far outweighs a slur’s psychological damage—yet both are symptoms of tribalism. Black communities frame Anthony as resisting systemic injustice; white supporters back Hendricks to reject “woke” guilt. Declining trust (Pew Research) and shifting racial attitudes (2021 Gallup) fuel this “proxy race war.” We need accountability and dialogue to bridge this moral chasm. Watch and share your thoughts.
