Racist texts about ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black students nationwide, including Missouri


By Annelise Hanshaw

Racist text messages received this week primarily by Black students nationwide — including in Missouri — are under investigation by federal authorities.

The FBI said in a statement issued Thursday it “is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities on the matter.”

Locally, groups have condemned the attacks, and college campuses are looking into the source of the messages.








The texts, which tell recipients they were “selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation,” have been posted on forums online as far back as Wednesday afternoon. Students have reported receiving the texts at several universities around the state.

Thursday morning, the 17-year-old son of St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones received the viral message, which the mayor’s father posted online.

Nimrod Chapel Jr., president of the Missouri State Conference of the NAACP, called for law enforcement and schools to take action.

“This is terrorism plain and simple. It points to a well-organized and resourced group that has decided to target Americans on our home soil based on the color of our skin,” he said in a statement after Missouri State University students reported receiving the texts. “The schools that were targeted and law enforcement need to take these reports seriously and act quickly to prevent the escalation to physical violence.”








The University of Missouri-Columbia is also aware of students on its campus receiving the messages.

“​​We are actively investigating the matter and working to identify the source of these messages,” said Christopher Ave, the university’s spokesman. “We are also aware that similar texts have been reported at universities nationwide. Based on the information currently available, there is no indication of a credible threat to the safety of members of the MU community.”

Attorneys general in other states, such as Louisiana and North Carolina, have launched state investigations. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has not spoken publicly about the issue.

That is how Trump got elected Randy. Playing the race card and no one can convince me otherwise. Look, not all Trump supporters are racists. But ALL racists are Trump supporters. Still are!

Disgusting and disgraceful. This is white nationalist/magat hatred that now has been emboldened and given a free pass to poison the nation. Sadly, as project 2025 is put in place, we'll be witness to some of the most egregious acts of cruelty, discrimination, and dishonorable conduct since the Civil War. Hopefully, enough of us will be appalled and shocked at magat governance to raise an enormous blue wave of redemption and put magats, as the nazis before them, back in their place as an abomination in history.

Yes, Why do Democrats always want to play the Race Cards, and the Name Calling of Republicans as White Nationalists, Fascists and Nazi's. You Democrats seem to Forget - It was the Democrats, Yes the Democrats that wanted Segregation of Blacks and Whites - LEARN YOUR HISTORY -

The American South was dominated by a system of racial segregation known as Jim Crow laws from the 1890s to the 1960s. THESE WERE DEMOCRATES - DON'T YOU REMEMBER OR DO YOU WANT TO FORGET THE TRUTH. These laws mandated separation of the races in almost every aspect of public life, including: schools, parks, libraries, drinking fountains, restrooms, buses, trains, restaurants, theaters, and workplaces.

Jim Crow laws were enforced by "Whites Only" and "Colored" signs, and African Americans who challenged segregation faced arrest or violence. The term "Jim Crow" is often used as a synonym for racial segregation.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed segregation in businesses such as theaters, restaurants, and hotels.

Are 8:42PM and John Lewis / 2:13AM - Just plain Crazy or Hopefully under some type of Medical Treatment or being Council'd for Mental Issues. Did the World end during Trump's First-Term - OF COURSE NOT YOU BUNCH OF RADICALS - What are you two on - Get Help before you hurt yourselves or others.

As 6:54AM so eloquently posted, the Republicans throughout our Countries History was on the forefront of helping right the wrongs of the Democrats.

The Democrats with their Liberal Ideas and Complacent Attitudes of we will Help Out the Minorities by Securing them to Government Programs for Life - so they will all feel Obligated - when in all actuality they are enslaving them to a life of being a Slave. Free or Low-Income Housing, Government Monthly Checks and Food Stamps - Don't Worry we will take care of You - See you on Election Day. These are the same Concepts that they had started with Illegal Aliens - Don't Worry we will take care of You - then we will turn you into US Citizens and then See you on Election Day.

The United States was Founded on Hard-Work, Not Hand Outs, Not Everything Being Free -

Sad attempts by some ^^^ to change the story.

Any attempt at history whispering about the racist history of the Democratic party that fails to mention the adoption of the " " Southern Strategy" by the Republican party in the 1960s is as bogus as a three dollar bill with a picture of Ted Bundy on it.

LEE ATWATER:

Listen to the late Lee Atwater in a 1981 interview explaining the evolution of the G.O.P.'s Southern strategy:

"You start out in 1954 by saying, 'N*gger, n*gger, n*gger.' By 1968 you can't say 'n*gger' -- that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites."

And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me -- because obviously sitting around saying, 'We want to cut this,' is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than 'N*gger, n*gger."'


Atwater, who would manage George H.W. Bush's successful run for the presidency in 1988 (the Willie Horton campaign) and then serve as national party chairman, was talking with Alexander P. Lamis, a political-science professor at Case Western Reserve University. Mr. Lamis quoted Atwater in the book "Southern Politics in the 1990's."(1)


Whatever long ago deceased Democrats did doesn't matter as much as what Republicans did afterwards and are still doing.

Donald Trump Won More Black Voters Than Any Republican in 48 Years...

What does that SAY???????????? Stop Your BS - 11:52AM. Crawl back under your Rock - with Your Race Baiting Comments - Democrats are the Party of Racist and pushing that agenda - Which is what Kamala Harris and her Hollywood Liberal Elites were pushing as they Flew around in their Private Jets, but the African-American, Hispanic and first-time voters put Trump on a pathway to the White House.

OMG - 11:52AM - You went the extra mile to pull more crap out of your azz. To even question Racist Issues, without a Picture of the Democrats is Ridiculous.

How about the Democratic Father of the South - George Wallace who ran for President in 1964 and 1968.

Do You Remember - Known as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door," Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in front of Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963, to stop the enrollment of African-American students Vivan Malone and James Hood. That was in 1963.

How about this Article in Newsweek - October 28, 2024

https://www.newsweek.com/democratic-party-most-racist-organization-america-opinion-1976128

What is the most racist thing that Democrats have done?

Invented and Funded the KKK. Went on national TV in 2014 and 2015 and said they have to have illegal immigrants to work on our farms.

Got bills passed that directly put poorer black people in jail and prison for what should be misdemeanors, went on tv in 2020 and said if you vote for Trump you aren't black. Went on tv in 2016 and said they don't leave the house without hot Sauce. Claim black people are too dumb to get an ID card. Honestly at this point the question isn't what has the Democrat party has done that's racist it's more like what has the democratic that's not racist.

Created the Great Society, specifically to further enslave Black people in welfare programs (this was started with Social Security) and “to ensure these [Blacks] would vote Democrat for 200 years.”

Maybe the African-American Community - Answered the Question of Racism when they turned out and Voted........

Donald Trump Won More Black Voters Than Any Republican in 48 Years...

If you think you can ever Win the Debate about which Party is more Racists - You better Join another Party, because the Party of the Democrats have a Long, Long Legacy of Racist Actions - - The Minority Populis is seeing the writing on the Wall and are tired of being Victims of the Democratic Party.

This thread has several white nationalists who are giving themselves away by their blatant racial overtones as well as embracing generational distortion (being stuck in the past). You can also hear in their wording of how they see their orange master as "Holy Inspired". If mr. orange is so called to divinely lead this nation according to you white nationalists, then why haven't I and millions more like me, heard the same proclamation? I believe in God and know that trump is the most heinously narcissistic, egregiously flawed individual currently not locked up and rotting in prison. The seditious treasonous prisoners and political allies of 1/6, all belong in the same deplorable bucket.

The bad people who sent the texts to these students got their names and numbers from the Harris campaign. I read an article a couple of days ago that said the Harris campaign ended its run $20 million in debt because of all of the concerts they arranged with Lizzo and Bruce Springsteen and will.i.am, and others (the campaign called them “rallies”), and it said the campaign was shopping around its email and phone lists to raise money to pay that debt. I would bet that every one of the people who received the racist texts also received texts from the Harris campaign leading up to the election. The practice of gathering contact info for one purpose and then selling it to someone else (who can use it for any other purpose) should not be legal. I am very much against spam calls and e-mails, and this practice is one of the reasons it happens so much. Where else could you buy a list of names and phone numbers that are so segmented based on identity?

9:29 that is probably the best explanation for it, they probably got a T-shirt if the put their phone number down as well, 🤣

So, 449 evidently read an article somewhere about Harris debt. I suppose that obviously now makes the topic a fact. Just curious 449, perhaps you were reading faux news or brightbart? Come on 449, I can read all kind of articles about sasquatch but does that make it true? I think you're best served staying in your magat hole of distorted reality. Keeps the rest of us safe.

DNC official calls Harris campaign a ‘$1 billion disaster’ - THIS IS FROM HER OWN PARTY - - - - - - -
Democratic National Committee (DNC) official Lindy Li called Vice President Harris’s bid for the White House a “$1 billion disaster” following her loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

“They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to and explain what happened because I told them it was a margin-of-error race,” she added.

WSJ - Wall Street Journal - I know you barely read the Joplin Globe - but this Article is in the WSJ -
How the Democrats Spent $1 Billion and Still Lost Vice President Harris’s campaign raised twice as much as Trump’s during her compressed White House run - I guess even when Dems, Oprah, her Hollywood and Diddy Friends tried to Prop up Harris with a $1 Billion Dollars - the Real Truth is that America saw the Truth and Voted for Trump - even the Minorities are Tired of the Lies and Failed Promises of the Democrats -

The Dems can use or makeup any excuse that they want to -
Harris Lost - Trump Won - The Majority has Spoken!

The Best thing the Dems can do is go back to the Drawing Board and Realize that the American Public is Just Plain Tired of the Lies and Fake Promises of the Democrats - Obama - Biden - Harris - Political Machines.

The Minorities have Spoken - The Democrats have Lost Touch with Reality. The Biden / Harris Dems - Raised - $1 Billion Dollars.
The Trump / Republicans - Raised - $400 Million Dollars.

Beside the Dem's Money - Every Hollywood Leftist, Rap Leftist, Diddy Leftist, Oprah, The View, Taylor Swift, Etc., - Came out and Supported Biden / Harris -

The Dems will never Realize that even with all that Influence - The Real Hard Working American Citizens were Tired of all the Lies and Fake Promises, the Slow Economy, the Inflation, the Jobs, the Bad Policies - the Threats to Groups to Confirm to the Demo Philosophy or Else -

Trump Won not only the electoral college vote but the popular vote as well to clinch his second term of the US presidency.

As, a Republican - I Love that the Dems have Not figured out what Hard Working Americans really want and will probably never will -

Of course, they'll eventually stick their heads out, notice the sky isn't falling but still blame dems and still believe their master was correct because their gullibility prevents them from questioning their "king".

The Truth is impossible for you Wackos to take and understand. So, keep living in your Fantasy Land while the Republicans continue to further lead this Country and let Sleepy Joe check-in to a Nursing Home and Harris can Write a Book and be interviewed by Oprah and the Rest of the Hollywood Leftist, Rappers, Diddycrats, and Swifties, while Hardworking Americans begin to Live in Prosperity and Truth.

Your Party the Demos, LOST - So, Don't listen to what the Majority of the Populus wants, keep telling them the same Old Lies and Fake Promises, and you will continue to see the same results. NEVER see the writing on the Wall - Maintain that Demo Legacy and if anyone is hiding in their caves it is the Demos, who FAILED MISERBLY - To see what True Americans are Looking for in their President, Senate, and Congress.

And even when the Leaders in the DNC official calls Harris campaign a ‘$1 billion disaster’ - THIS IS FROM HER OWN PARTY - - - - - - -
Democratic National Committee (DNC) official Lindy Li called Vice President Harris’s bid for the White House a “$1 billion disaster” following her loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election, but she got to put on $20 Million Dollars' worth of Concerts - What a Waste of Money - Again, another reason the Average American saw the Demos as Spenders and Not Dealing with the Economy, Inflation, Policies, or Anything Else, but they know how to throw expensive Parties.

4:19PM, AKA - Sigmund Freud - You show similar Traits, Especially Emotional and Critical Issue Thinking as the Real Sigmund Freud - - - - - -

Freud's theory of repression has been the subject of much criticism and debate among scholars. While some agree with his ideas, others have pointed out flaws in his theory, such as the lack of empirical evidence, overemphasis on sexual repression, alternative explanations, gender bias, and lack of clarity.

His Death - was by a physician-assisted morphine overdose. Which I am assuming is the same thoughts several of the Leaders of the Democratic Party are Flirting with Now - - - - - -

I hope that the FBI, Justice Department, and Federal Communication Commission - Track Down where and who disseminated those Terrible Racist Texts and Emails - to all those Students, and that this was not a disgruntled political worker to stir up controversy, similar to Jussie Smollett, the African-American Actor, who was convicted for lying to police about a racist, homophobic attack that authorities said he staged.

Since the Democrats control those Federal Agencies - They need to help put forth the efforts to find out who is behind them and bring them to Justice.

5:42AM, Why read, Why listen, Why understand, Why think, This sounds like a typical Democrat. This is Why the Democrats keep failing to bring about any change or semblance to the Democratic Party, we know what we are doing-NOT.

This is Why they LOST the electoral college vote and the popular vote as well, because they Do Not Listen to the Citizens of the United States, we just make Fake Promises and Lie. They did not listen to the Hardworking Voting Americans, who are feed up with the Economy, Inflation, Bad Policies, Allowing Illegal Aliens to come into America, then they try to Push Diversity to Minorities to Segregate and Divide them, Yet Trump had the Highest Voter Percentage among Minorities in 48-Years, including African Americans, Asians, and Latinos. Why - do you think that was???

So, 5:24AM or Whatever you want to call yourself, Sigmund, what you call "Intellectual Malarkey", is the Truth and you and the Rest of the Democrats need to Listen and Learn the Truth - of what the Majority of the American Citizens are Saying - - - "The Truth"...

The Truth - Biden's Administration Failed and had No Direction.
The Truth - Harris's Bid for Election Failed, because she followed Biden's same Plan.
The Truth - The Clinton's and Obama's Endorsements of Harris Failed.
The Truth - The DNC (Democratic National Committee) Failed.
The Truth - The Hollywood Leftist Failed - Oprah and the Rest of the Wackos.
The Truth - The Diddycrats and the Rest of the Rap Crew Failed.
The Truth - Taylor Swift / JZ / Beyonce are just Singers, and lacked any type of Influence and so they Failed.
The Truth - Stop Calling everyone Racist, Fascist, Nazi's, White Nationalist, when you Fail to Recognize the History and Politics of the Democratic Party, Failed.

The Truth - None of the Democrats Listened to what True Hardworking Americans Wanted - Thus they were all taught a Very Valuable Lesson. Listen and Stop Pushing the Demo Agenda and do what the American Populus is Needing and Wanting ...
The Truth - Trump Won in an overwhelming Fasion.
