In reply to the discussion: Black people are receiving racist text messages about picking cotton 'at the nearest plantation' [View all]yardwork
(65,120 posts)18. Be careful. As I wrote upthread, I think this message came from Russia.
While it's certainly true that there's too much racism, I doubt this was written by the Klan in Mississippi. It was written and sent to do exactly what your post illustrates - divide us and create distrust. Don't fall for it. Recognize propaganda and psyops for what they are.
