Detroit area women get 'plantation group' texts, among wave of racist messages nationwide
Racist messages telling people that they were selected to pick cotton for a plantation group have been received across the country -- including in the Detroit area.
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.

Yeah, 2015/16 was full of me being told to go back to China, really looking forward how this shit show is going to be.
I was born in Spokane, WA. Am white but with a Celtic name. People have also told me to go back where I come from. This goes beyond pure racism but it’s obvious that the story here and yours are caused by racism.
🙄 sigh. Good luck man, maybe get outta that area if that's possible. West coast seems to be ok (just don't go inland).
I still see a ton of trucks waving trump flags out here. The filth is everywhere, there's no escaping it.
Stick to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego and you won’t see it unless you enter the suburbs. LA is a bit more mixed but probably still decent
Just drove around the bay (Concord to Atherton, Santa Cruz to San Jose, and then back to SF before going back home). There was a lot of trump flags and supporters on bridges and vehicles driving around. There’s a lot of Trump supporters even in Progressive Bay Area regions. Lots of tech bros now are big Trump supporters. That said, the west coast has far, far less than other regions.
I’m referring not to each region but rather the cities themselves. That said, there are probably a lot of tech bros who worship Savage.
At what point does that start to sound like the better option? Is that even an option available to you?
Good lord, China would never be an option.
The US is rapidly moving toward it too.
Maybe but there's still no way in hell I would ever move there. I'd be disappeared given I enjoy freedom of speech.
Are you Chinese?
