Racist text messages invoking slavery raised alarm across the country this week after they were sent to Black men, women and students, including middle schoolers, prompting inquiries by the FBI and other agencies.

Summary

Racist text messages invoking slavery were anonymously sent to Black individuals across several U.S. states, sparking investigations by the FBI, FCC, and local law enforcement.

The messages, received in states like New York, Alabama, and California, varied in wording but shared a disturbing tone, with some directing recipients to report to specific locations.

Civil rights groups, including the NAACP and Southern Poverty Law Center, condemned the messages, calling them deeply disturbing and perpetuating a legacy of evil.

Wireless providers are working to block the messages, which officials believe could be the work of bots or malicious actors.

      Update: Apparently, RFK wants to send… ? Create a voluntary program … ? …

      … where everyone who is currently on any prescription drug for any mental disorder, as well as hardcore drug addicts…

      … to farms. Where they would have no phones, no TV, no contact with the outside world.

      And this is being pitched as a detox program.

      So yeah, got a Ritalin prescription? Wellbutrin? Lexapro? Zoloft? Adderall?

      Off to the farms. Just work in the fields through your massive and abrupt withdrawals.

      Alongside fentanyl addicts, who are of course notoriously well mannered during their withdrawals.
