In reply to the discussion: Black people are receiving racist text messages about picking cotton 'at the nearest plantation' [View all]yardwork
(65,124 posts)9. That message was written by someone for whom English is not their main language.
Cotten is misspelled. Nobody says "12PM SHARP" anymore, especially not in all caps. That is an outmoded word. Most Americans don't put the PM right next to the 12 without space.
"Our Executive Slaves" makes no sense and is a misuse of the word "executive."
"Be prepared to be searched down" is ungrammatical and no American would use those words.Its either "searched" or "patted down" never "searched down."
Typo with ""enter the plantation"
You are in Group S? Most Americans don't use letters to identify groups. We like numbers.
This was probably written by a Russian.

They want to go way back to Comstock Act (1876). Wouldn't be surprised if they want voting rights and slavery also
