Summary

Women across Detroit and other U.S. locations, including Virginia and universities in Alabama and South Carolina, have reported receiving racist text messages instructing them to “pick cotton at the nearest plantation.”

The messages, which include threats and references to white supremacist groups, have raised concerns among recipients.

FOX 2 Detroit received multiple reports from affected women, with similar cases reported by news outlets in Atlanta and Virginia.

The source and motive behind these messages remain unclear, with some online speculation suggesting possible foreign interference aimed at sowing division in the U.S.

    Yup. We’re going to have this going on for 4 years.

    Racists are going to target Blacks, Hispanics, Asians with racial slurs and more.

    Xenophobes will antagonize immigrants and other people of ethnic backgrounds.

    Bigots will target LGBTQ as usual.

    Yeah, wonderful…
