Racist texts referring to ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people across US after election

by



Authorities across the United States are investigating after racist text messages – some with references to “slave catchers” and “picking cotton” reminiscent of the country’s painful and bigoted past – have been received by children, college students and working professionals from unrecognized phone numbers in the wake of the presidential election. CNN’s Gabe Cohen reports. #CNN #News

  16. Well come to my house and I will happily do my duty as an American citizen who’s great grandparents built this country in chains. I will surely use every resource in my arsenal to make sure this rhetoric is stopped. And for you stupid idiots who voted for this nonsense you are to blame. I will certainly give anyone who comes to take away my freedom which my grandfather Henderson Judd died for. I will not hesitate to send you home to the god of your understanding. YOU PEOPLE DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHO WE ARE! THE 12 TRIBES ARE NOT LOST WE’RE ENSLAVED LIKE DEUTERONOMY SAID. AND THE SCRIPTURES ALSO MENTIONED THE PUNISHMENTS OF OUR CAPTORS! COME TO MY HOUSE AND TRY TO GET ME TO A PLANTATION! I’M ACTUALLY A SHAREHOLDER OF THE JUDD PLANTATION OF WAKE NC. I’M A PRODUCT OF A SLAVE MASTER AND HIS SLAVE/CONCUBINE AND HE LEFT ALL HIS WEALTH TO HIS BLACK CHILDREN! His plantation was attacked by the first chapter of the kkk and they were not arrested so he testified in the Supreme Court in Raleigh NC. He was later castrated and killed by the same people who killed his children’s mother my 3rd grandma Mary Judd. You people want to go back to the days of old then prepare yourself for spiritual warfare because we’re aware of the reason for your hatred. We’re special and we’re capable of doing great things. To all the white people who stood up against slavery and segregation, to the people who fight against racism and systemic oppression and economic inequality I thank you but the rest of you racist imbeciles we will be waiting for you and you will finally get the whooping your mama should have given you. She should’ve taught you better instead you were taught your skin makes you better . No! My PhD makes me think instead of feeling hatred for someone who never asked to come here. This was the land of opportunity because my people were in the south building the wealth of the country. The stupidity is astounding.

  19. Who cares! CNN and the rest of the media got what they wanted. Enjoy your ratings and leave us alone. A text doesn’t hurt anybody, racist policies does. But you guys would rather anger bait for ratings than do actual journalism

  21. It doesn't matter. Racism doesn't matter to most voting Americans. They elected Trump (a multiple time convicted felon). Justice doesn't matter. Decency doesn't matter. Please stop reporting on racism like it matters. He'll invite proud, celebrity white supremacists into the White House… AGAIN. None of this matters.

  31. Sounds like a CIA / CNN rabble rousing operation to me. The text can't be traced!! Go Figure. Keep pushin the race issue CNN, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Black folks, take note of CNN's reporting and see the patterns. They are definately pro democrat and anti- Trump and anti-Trump supporters.

  33. I hated to tell or text the idiots who text these people that there ARE no longer plantations qnd all the picking is done by machines. So idiots look at your textbooks for the publish date and see you are using a very old book. Slavery ended in 1865 when the CIVIL War won by the Union army.
