One civil rights leader says the messages are a reflection of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory on Tuesday, which sent shockwaves through black American communities.
A major civil rights group and the White House have condemned racist text messages referencing slavery that were sent anonymously to black Americans this week as the contentious US election drew to a close.
High school and college students were among the recipients, the Associated Press reported. Some school districts warned students about the racist messages and urged them to report any such texts received to school staff or local authorities. Johnson said the messages were a reflection of Republican Donald Trump’s presidential election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat, on Tuesday, which sent shockwaves through black American communities.
