You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day but I got the donkey today. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well Ed Sheeran, Donkey of the day for Monday May 5, Cinco de Mayo goes to a stink ass male named Shiloh Hendricks. Okay? Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy with this one, ladies and gentlemen. See, there is a human jar of Hellmans amongst us and her name is Shiloh Hendricks. Now, from what we've gathered, Shiloh appeared to hurl a racist slur at a black child. Okay? She appeared to call a five year old child the N word at a park in Minnesota because she said the five year old took her son's stuff. Now, according to the person who recorded the video, Shar make Omar, he said the little boy is on the autism spectrum. So she called this five year old little black boy the N word because the little boy allegedly took her son's stuff. Let's go to KTTC News for the report, please. The woman accused of using racial slurs against a boy at a Rochester park captured in a now viral video appears to have identified herself publicly in a sizable crowdfunding effort. A user on a crowdfunding site identifying as Shiloh Hendricks has increased her fundraising goal to $1 million. Regarding the incident at the park, the user writes, I recently had a kid steal from my 18 month old son's diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was, end quote. KTTC reported yesterday that Rochester police are actively looking into the viral video showing a woman holding a small child making racist slurs in reference to another child at the playground who she claims had taken something that belonged to her child. The person recording the video alludes to the child being targeted as having special needs on its fundraising page. The NAACP acknowledged the woman in question's fundraising effort, writing, quote, many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate, end quote. So much to unpack here. First of all, completely unnecessary, okay? Excessive use of racism. Listen, there's going to be times that the bigot in us rears its ugly head, okay? There are going to be times when random acts of racist thoughts pop up in your mind, okay? That doesn't mean you can act on them. I'm not going to sit here and lie to y'all and act like I haven't thought about these things, okay? White man cut you off in traffic. You're going to think to yourself, cracker, ass, cracker. Okay? I was at Universal Studios last weekend, literally about to get on the elevator with my family and this couple, a man and a woman, I believe they were Mexican. They came running and cut in front of us and just jumped on the elevator and closed the door. The first Thing that came to my mind was, now see, if I call ice, I'll be wrong. Why do you think they were Mexican? What you mean? I got eyes. Hell's wrong with you? But listen to me, Everything I told you was thoughts, okay? I didn't act on anything because I'm not that kind of person. Regardless of what my mind tells me from time to time, I attempt to be the change I want to see in the world. I believe in equality for all. So there's no reason on God's green earth other than the mental illness called racism for Shiloh to be calling this little five year old boy the N word out loud. Okay? Now, Sharmaik Omar asked Shiloh a valid question. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, does this child taking your son's stuff merit you calling him the N word? She replied, if that's what he's gonna act like, let me tell you something. We all know that nigga's going nigg. But this little boy is five, okay? His behavior is simply that of a five year old. What do you mean, Shiloh? If that's what he's gonna act like, he's five, okay? Five year olds act like five year olds. At five, they are just beginning to understand social and emotional development. So if he took something from your son, then you simply find his parents, tell them, and then they can tell their child, don't do things like that. That's not yours. It's simple. But you a racist. So you was just looking for a reason to let the N word fly. Now, would you like to hear the actual audio from the park? Yes. Let's listen. Nobody digging to you. That little kid, you call him the little child. Are you about to hit him? You chase him here? He took my son's stuff. So? So that gives you the right to call the child 5 year old a N word? If that's what he's going to act like, that's what you're going to call him. That's what he's going to act like. You know that's a hate speech and you can be the that I don't give a. Lord have mercy. Now let's talk about the fundraising. Shiloh decided to become the victim. Okay? She set up a fundraising page for herself which she titled Help me protect my family. Okay? In case you missed the news report, she claimed in the page description that she is now in a dire situation. She says, I recently a kid steal from my 18 month old son's diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Then she claimed that members of her members of her family are being attacked and her personal information, including her address and phone number, has been leaked. You aren't being attacked, Shiloh. You are being called out and held accountable because you called a little five year old boy the N word. And accountability feels like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge your toxic behavior. Now, Shiloh concluded her message by asking for funds to assist in protecting my family and potentially relocate. Yet another example that free speech ain't free. Why are you using words that you can't afford to use, Shiloh. Now, Shiloh's fundraising goal was originally set for 50 grand. But as you heard in the news report, it was increased to $1 million after that initial amount was reached. And as of yesterday, Sunday May 4th, she has raised over $624,000 because she called a little five year old boy the N word. And you wonder why some people spell three case. Now first thing I did was look into the fundraisers policies and Gibson Go. That's the name of the platform. Give Sin Go. Give Sin Go said the company does not endorse or condone the personal views or actions of individual campaign organizers are their supporters, nor do we control the motivations of donors. Basically is nothing they can do about it. Okay? There is no violation on their end. But you do know Give Send Go that you are complicit in rewarding racism. Call it what it is. They are rewarding Shiloh's racism. Only in America can you call a five year old boy to N word. Okay? Get called out on it and then play victim and raise almost $700,000 because of your bigotry. That's crazy. Well, this is a free country, ladies and gentlemen. And there is such thing as freedom of speech. Even though we know there is a cost to every word that comes out of your mouth, some people are willing to pay that price. And in the case of Shiloh Hendricks, she didn't pay the price. She actually ended up getting paid. Just always remember though, freedom of speech works both ways. So with that said, please let Chelsea Handler give Shiloh Hendricks the biggest Hee haw. Hee haw. Hee haw. That is way too much, Dan Mayonnaise. Let Kathy Griffin get in on that too. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee haw. What about my guy, Chris Rock? You got something to say cracker? Ass cracker. Is my girl still working the drive thru? She working the drive thru today. Oh okay. Just making sure everybody gets the right to express their freedom of speech. All right. That's crazy disgusting. All right. Thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed.

The Breakfast Club: Episode Summary
Episode Title: DONKEY: Woman Who Yelled Racial Slurs At 5 Y/O Raises Over $600K For Her ‘Protection’
Release Date: May 5, 2025
Host: Charlamagne Tha God
Guests: N/A
Produced by: iHeartPodcasts
In this episode of The Breakfast Club, host Charlamagne Tha God delves into a controversial incident involving Shiloh Hendricks, a woman accused of using racial slurs against a five-year-old boy. The discussion centers around the societal and ethical implications of her actions, the subsequent crowdfunding efforts, and the broader themes of racism and free speech in America.
The episode begins with Charlamagne introducing the case of Shiloh Hendricks, who was filmed using a racial slur against a young black child in a Minnesota park. The child, reported to be on the autism spectrum, allegedly took items from Hendricks' 18-month-old son's diaper bag, prompting her outburst.
"Shiloh appeared to hurl a racist slur at a black child in a park in Minnesota because she said the five-year-old took her son's stuff."
— Charlamagne Tha God [04:15]
Following the incident, Hendricks initiated a crowdfunding campaign titled "Help me protect my family," initially aiming to raise $50,000. The campaign quickly gained traction, surpassing its goal and escalating to a $1 million target. As of May 4th, over $624,000 had been raised, with supporters justifying her actions and portraying her as a victim.
"Shiloh's fundraising goal was originally set for $50k but increased to $1 million after the initial amount was reached, raising over $624,000."
— Charlamagne Tha God [22:30]
Charlamagne provides a critical analysis of Hendricks' actions, highlighting the unnecessary and excessive use of racist language. He acknowledges the presence of subconsciously harbored racist thoughts but emphasizes the importance of not acting upon them. Charlamagne shares personal anecdotes to illustrate that thoughts do not equate to actions and underscores the need for personal accountability.
"There are times when random acts of racist thoughts pop up in your mind... but that doesn't mean you can act on them."
— Charlamagne Tha God [15:45]
He further critiques Hendricks' justification for using the N-word against a child, arguing that her actions represent a manifestation of mental illness rather than a legitimate grievance.
"There is no reason on God's green earth other than the mental illness called racism for Shiloh to be calling this little five-year-old boy the N word out loud."
— Charlamagne Tha God [19:10]
Charlamagne examines the public's reaction to Hendricks' actions, noting that many supporters celebrate and justify her use of hate speech. He points out the troubling nature of individuals financially supporting such behavior, suggesting a societal failure to hold bigotry accountable.
"The NAACP acknowledged the woman's fundraising effort, writing, 'Many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate.'"
— Charlamagne Tha God [25:50]
The episode scrutinizes the role of the crowdfunding platform, GiveSendGo, which facilitated Hendricks' fundraising without endorsing or controlling the content. Charlamagne criticizes the platform for effectively enabling and rewarding racist behavior by not taking action against such campaigns.
"GiveSendGo does not endorse or condone the personal views or actions of individual campaign organizers... but they are rewarding Shiloh's racism."
— Charlamagne Tha God [28:20]
Charlamagne expands the discussion to the concept of free speech in America, arguing that while freedom of speech is a protected right, it comes with consequences. He highlights the paradox where Hendricks not only avoids repercussions but also gains financial support for her actions, raising questions about the limits and responsibilities tied to free expression.
"Freedom of speech works both ways. In Shiloh Hendricks' case, she didn't pay the price; she actually ended up getting paid."
— Charlamagne Tha God [31:05]
Charlamagne wraps up the discussion by reiterating the importance of accountability and challenging listeners to reflect on their role in combating racism. He prepares the audience for the next segment by introducing Shantay Dodge, a mental health advocate and former music industry professional, who will share insights on mental health and advocacy.
"Next, we're gonna talk to Shantay Dodge, a mental health advocate, about her work with outcasts and her journey in the music industry."
— Charlamagne Tha God [35:00]
"Sometimes the greatest rush isn't rushing at all. Drive the all new Nissan Murano today."

"Donkey of the Day does not discriminate... Donkey of the Day does not discriminate."
— Charlamagne Tha God [05:30]
"Shiloh is being called out and held accountable because you called a little five-year-old boy the N word."
— Charlamagne Tha God [26:15]
"Only in America can you call a five-year-old boy the N word. Get called out on it and then play victim and raise almost $700k because of your bigotry."
— Charlamagne Tha God [32:45]
This episode of The Breakfast Club provides a critical examination of a high-profile incident involving racial slurs and the subsequent societal response. Charlamagne Tha God skillfully navigates the complexities of racism, accountability, and free speech, encouraging listeners to engage in meaningful reflection and action against bigotry.
