Donald Trump has barely been President-elect for 24 hours and his basket of deplorable supporters have already begun to show their natural white a**es.
A report in The Crimson White, the University of Alabama’s newspaper, details the racist text messages that Black students have been receiving since Führer Trump was put back in power. The message reads as follows:
Greetings, [insert name],
You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation. Be ready at 12 pm sharp with your belongings. Our executive slaves will come get you in a brown van. Be prepared to be searched down once you’ve enter the plantation. You are in plantation group W.
The text has made students afraid for their safety and stoked anger in their parents. One student, Alyse McCall, did not attend class Wednesday out of fear of an attack. Her mother, Arleta McCall took to Facebook to voice her outrage
Another student named Hailey Welch said she decided to skip class following an incident with a pair of Trump bootlickers.
“They started yelling at me and calling me racial slurs and said go back where I came from, even though I was born here and I’m American,” Welch said, adding that the men, who appeared to be students, then seemingly used their ACT cards to get into the residence hall.
These hateful texts were not limited to UA or the state of Alabama. According to 13NewsNow, their in-house photographer Sam Burrell also received the exact same message except he was “assigned” to “plantation group W”
“I have a cousin up in Richmond who received the same text message, but I found it weird that in my text message, it had a different group number than his, and they both had our names,” Burwell said.
The state’s Attorney General Jason Miyares has been contacted about the messages and released the following statement.
The Attorney General’s Office is aware of these text messages and unequivocally condemns them. Anyone who believes themselves to be under threat should not hesitate to contact local law enforcement and their local FBI field office by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (or 1-800-225-5324) or visiting FBI.gov/tips.
There are some hard days ahead. These types of people will attempt to steal your sanity, safety, and peace of mind. Make a conscious effort to retain them in the face of fear and anger.
