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.
Call me melodramatic, but I’m honestly surprised there aren’t roving bands of armed white dudes with trucker hats and wrap-around sunglasses in every neighborhood at this point. Maybe Jan 21, but I won’t be alive to know.
Just do your best to check out from news for the next 4 years. Don’t let that orange fucker win.
Ignorance is not the solution.
Giving up gives them power, and leaves others behind who you could help. Yeah, it sucks he won, but it’s not over. Don’t let them take everything for free.
Thats not mentioning there are certainly people who care about you in the world. You may not even understand what you mean to them.
If you’re contemplating suicide over this, seek help. It’s not worth it.
Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.
Meh
I don’t want to deal with 4 years of constant panic attacks every day. Again.
Like others said, anti anxiety meds, avoid the internet. Also, get yourself a musical instrument and dive into creativity. You won’t be sad that you did that.
I’d hate to have to tell your ghost that a week after you died there was a plane crash that changed everything or something.
You don’t know what’s going to happen and I promise you, you’ll die eventually if you just hang in there.
If I had pulled the trigger when I wanted to in 2017, I would have missed the most wonderful time of my life so far and by a long shot.
I still have the only gun I’ve ever owned. I’m probably gonna bury that bad boy soon, give it a little grave. Can’t sell it, it’s one of the worst reviewed firearms made in the last 40 years and no one who cares would dream of buying it.
Good luck.
Get a script for Xanax and get off the internet. You’re only going to hear the worst news here.
Then get some treatment, or go somewhere better.
