Summary
Women across Detroit and other U.S. locations, including Virginia and universities in Alabama and South Carolina, have reported receiving racist text messages instructing them to “pick cotton at the nearest plantation.”
The messages, which include threats and references to white supremacist groups, have raised concerns among recipients.
FOX 2 Detroit received multiple reports from affected women, with similar cases reported by news outlets in Atlanta and Virginia.
The source and motive behind these messages remain unclear, with some online speculation suggesting possible foreign interference aimed at sowing division in the U.S.
I already block all non-contact calls and messages, well, I filter them out and check them every few days to make sure nothing important has happened. Just like my spam folder in my email. If I let spam calls actually ring-through on my phone it would drive me insane because I get at least a dozen bullshit calls a day.
Same here. Anyone new needs to let me know, email or message me somewhere else. But a lot of people need these things open, and I feel bad for them, and how terribly these things (and the rest of fed gov) are rotting.
