Racially offensive text messages referencing slavery have been sent to Black individuals in multiple US states, causing nationwide concern and prompting investigations by the FBI, FCC, and state authorities. DW Africa Reports.
The messages, targeting middle school to university level, included racist language and implied threats.
Fisk University, a historically Black institution, urged calm, while the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in Missouri reported that Black students at Missouri State University received texts referencing Trump's win and calling them to "pick cotton." #DWAfrica #usa
