This morning there was a nation-wide text spam campaign targeting Black Americans (largely students) telling them that they’ve been selected to pick cotton and will be picked up to be sent to a plantation after Trump’s inauguration.
People online are making jokes about it, but it’s genuinely a disturbing sign. Someone was emboldened enough to intentionally run a background on thousands of young Black people and send them racist messages the day after a very exhausting and stressful election.
Please boost this if you can!!! This story is still developing and a lot of the people who have been getting the messages say they’re scared to leave home now.
the Loveland Foundation is a group dedicated to helping Black people in the US, esp Black women and girls, access therapy. consider donating to them (especially for those of us who are nonBlack):
