The NAACP reported that Black individuals in multiple states received text messages instructing them to report to plantations for forced labor. The messages contained phrases like, 'You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.' This targeted harassment reflects systemic racism and serves to instill fear within communities.
FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel condemned the racist text messages as 'unacceptable,' emphasizing that the agency's enforcement bureau is taking the matter seriously and investigating the source of the harassment.
