Make America Hate Again: Black People Nationwide Receive Racist Texts About Plantations And Picking Cotton

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”

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.
