Racist Texts Target Black Americans with Slavery References

Six students at Stoughton High School in Massachusetts received racist text messages, part of a disturbing nationwide trend targeting Black individuals. The messages, which included offensive content about picking cotton, have been reported in multiple states. The FBI is investigating, and local authorities urge recipients to report such texts. The incident has prompted a strong response from school officials and the NAACP, condemning the rise in racist rhetoric. Cybersecurity experts suggest social media may have been used to access phone numbers for these targeted messages.
