Racist messages telling people that they were selected to pick cotton for a plantation group have been received across the country -- including in the Detroit area.

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 don’t agree that justice requires going through war, nor that war is even likely to lead to justice.
