Share:

Racist text messages have been reported in multiple states following the 2024 election. The messages, which use almost identical language, have been sent to Black Americans across several states, including Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The texts, signed 'a Trump supporter', tell recipients to report to 'the nearest plantation' to pick cotton, and some even refer to recipients by name. Authorities, including the FBI, are investigating the messages, which the NAACP has condemned as 'an alarming increase in vile and abhorrent rhetoric'.

politicsTrumpelectionFBIPatel

Who is Kash Patel?
President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel, a loyalist and promoter of Trump's false stolen election claims, as his choice to lead the FBI if current director Chris Wray resigns or is fired.
