A number of black Americans across the US reported receiving racist messages on their phones shortly after it became clear that Donald Trump had won the election. The senders are unknown. Among other things, the recipients are told to “register at the plantation to pick cotton”. North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama and Pennsylvania are among the states where both adults and students have reported racist messages. According to black students in several states, some of the messages were signed “a Trump supporter”. Karoline Leavitt, who is the spokeswoman for Donald Trump’s election campaign, tells CNN that they have absolutely nothing to do with these text messages. The text messages are now being investigated by the FBI. – The FBI is aware of the offensive and racist messages being sent to individuals around the country. We are in contact with the Department of Justice and other federal authorities, the FBI wrote on Thursday. The American civil rights group NAACP has condemned the racist messages.
