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.

    Russia wants you fighting for your life, so to get that smug satisfaction of not giving your enemy what they want, you should instead not fight for your life even when all sense says you should.

    I get tempering your emotions, being patient, and trying to see the bigger picture. But there may come a point where it simply does not matter what our geopolitical enemies want or do not want. We’ve been avoiding this fight since we bungled Reconstruction, honestly.
