A wave of racist text messages sent to Black Americans across the country has sparked outrage and investigations by authorities, including the FBI. Reports indicate that individuals, especially students, in at least 32 states have been targeted with disturbing messages referencing slavery, plantations, and degrading comments about labor. The messages have prompted reactions from civil rights leaders, including the NAACP President and various attorneys general who have condemned the hateful communications. As investigations continue, officials are striving to uncover the source behind these deeply offensive texts, which have left many recipients feeling shocked and alarmed.
