Following the results of the 2024 US Presidential Election, several Black people reported receiving disturbing racist text messages. The messages, which referenced slavery and plantation labour, were sent to students across the country. The messages, which referenced slavery and made alarming threats, claimed recipients were “selected to be enslaved” and provided specific, chilling instructions about being transported to a plantation. One message specifically referenced picking cotton at a plantation in Atlanta, while another mentioned being sold at auction after years of “service.” In response, the FBI acknowledged the offensive texts and stated they are coordinating with the Justice Department and other federal agencies to investigate. The agency urged the public to report any threats of violence to local authorities.
