Racist texts about slaves and ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people as state AGs, colleges and police probe their origins

Authorities across the United States are investigating after racist text messages – some with references to “slave catchers” and “picking cotton” reminiscent of the country’s painful and bigoted past – have been received by children, college students and working professionals from unrecognized phone numbers in the wake of the presidential election.

The NAACP president warned Thursday of possible broader implications of the hate-filled rhetoric reported in more than 20 states from New York to California, and the District of Columbia. Attorneys general of both parties are condemning the messages and vowing to root out their senders.

“The unfortunate reality of electing a president who, historically, has embraced and at times encouraged hate, is unfolding before our eyes,” NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson said. “These messages represent an alarming increase in vile and abhorrent rhetoric from racist groups across the country, who now feel emboldened to spread hate and stoke the flames of fear that many of us are feeling after Tuesday’s election results.”

Both CNN viewers believe it. The rest of the US population files it in the “Full O’Shit file”.

Probably a liberal sending it to black people. Might even be the NAACP sending it out to scare people into supporting them. I never forgave that group for getting Amos and Andy cancelled

Surprising that there is not a Spanish language version.

This is the second story in two days about this. The MSM is trying hard. Next story will be that the people who got the text messages saw nooses outside of their windows.

100%. And unless they come up with someone who is CONFIRMED to be a conservative by extensive writings, voting, public statements, online postings, and valid personal testimonials, I don’t buy this is a conservative.

And if he or she were proven beyond all doubt to be a conservative, almost all of us would all fully approve of that person being punished or censured in some way. In any case, that person would be disowned.

Until fully validated, it is safe to characterize this as a false flag incident.

The DNC texts people who are on their roll sheet so I would NOT be surprised at the slightest if these came from them

Sounds like a typical Democrat/BLM “false flag” operation.

Hi.

I have a secret. This is between you and me...

About 60 years ago I picked cotton. Beans, strawberry, watermelon and rode horses on the farm land.

So what?

90% chance. IOW almost certainly another Jussie Smollett style hoax.
