In a disturbing trend, the FBI and the Justice Department are investigating a wave of racist text messages targeting minority communities across the country. Following a contentious presidential election, recipients have reported receiving hateful and offensive messages, including references to slavery and plantation work directed at Black individuals, as well as hateful content aimed at Hispanic and LGBTQ communities. The messages have sparked significant outrage, with various state and local officials, including NAACP leaders and attorney generals, condemning the attacks as deeply disrespectful and unacceptable. This surge of online hate is alarming many, prompting investigations by law enforcement agencies in different states and raising serious concerns about the safety and well-being of those targeted.
