Authorities, including the FBI and the Justice Department, are currently investigating a series of disturbing and racist text messages that have been sent to Black individuals across the United States following the recent election. Reports indicate that these messages included vile references to slavery and targeted Black college students and residents in various states including Virginia, Michigan, and California. Officials have condemned these actions, which have raised alarms about a potentially organized effort to intimidate and harass Black communities nationwide. Various state attorneys general and organizations like the NAACP are also involved in the response, emphasizing the need for accountability and action against such unacceptable behavior. Investigations are ongoing as authorities seek to identify the sources behind these racist communications.
