Offensive, racist texts now being sent to high-schoolers, Latinos and LGBTQ community, FBI says
The agency said that reports have grown since last week when Black people were targeted with messages from anonymous phone numbers.
Summary
The FBI is investigating a surge of anonymous racist and offensive text messages targeting Latino, Black, and LGBTQ communities following last week’s election.
Messages have included threats of deportation, re-education camps, or being forced into plantation labor.
While no violence has resulted, the texts, sent via services like TextNow, have prompted collaboration between the FBI, DOJ Civil Rights Division, and local authorities.
Advocacy groups like LULAC and the NAACP condemned the harassment, citing it as a troubling resurgence of hate rhetoric emboldened by recent political developments.
I've been calling this for years. The next holocaust will be more efficient than Hitler could ever imagine beyond his wildest dreams. Big tech knows more than people know about themselves. We're all on lists we don't even know we're on. People will be discriminated for reasons they didn't know they could be.
FBI on Jan 20 Afternoon: "The racist texts are being sent by democrats and antifa as a false flag operation to blame republicans. Heil Trump! President for life!"
Trump will tell these people that eggs are $1.00 per dozen and they're repeat it as fact while they buy $7 eggs
Arrested Development won't be nearly as funny when a banana is $10.
Tin foil hat time: What if it's the Russians just trying to spark a civil war over here?

I also remember reading how there's evidence that the USSR was funding both sides of the Civil Rights Movement in the US, with the hopes that it would tear the country apart.
Yeah this is just regular hat type thinking
No, that's been their plan the entire time.
I think there’s a lot of ways to connect those dots. It’s not very “tin foil” in my opinion. There’s no way to “invade” the US. They have to destroy it from within.
Another poster suggested a Russian disinformation campaign, I would suggest a more home-grown hate faction that was grown from the poll-watcher contingent. They culled and sifted lists of people that were most likely to "spoil the vote" and had nothing else to do do but harass people.
Ya I did, it probably is, thanks for bringing this up. We need to get the word out! Fuck misinformation!
“Some recipients reported being told they were selected for deportation or to report to a re-education camp,” the agency said.
How is anyone supposed to believe this? Oh wait, I remember. Because it was voted for.
It's exactly that threat that is why we are emigrating. If my daughter were marched into a conversion therapy camp, I would never forgive myself.
Hey, we get what we voted for. Our only hope is that people stand up to them. But I won’t hold my breath.
