Racist texts about slaves and ‘picking cotton’ sent to Black people as state AGs, colleges and police probe their origins

 While the article that lends it's title to this post infers that this is the work of Trump supporters, this blogger finds it more likely that it is the work of those who favor the socialist/progressive agenda that the democratic party has been being used to promote over the last several decades. But, as always, gentle reader, you must do your own thinking. 

Regardless of who has done this, it is unworthy of an American citizen or any decent person. To children they sent these!

It is surely intended to continue the divisive and hateful nonsense that has been promoted in recent years. The old, old divide and conquer trick. We are not required to let it work. One hopes the unfortunate people who received such ugly messages can and will see it for what it is and make every effort to be in harmony with their fellow Americans as the majority of us are with them. Those who sent such ugly messages belong in jail.  One hopes they are found, PROPERLY tried and sentenced to jail. 

From the article:
"“It became sadness when I realized that young people were getting it, like elementary schoolers and middle schoolers,” Jones said later. “Why would you want to intentionally hurt somebody that you don’t even know?”

A day after receiving the text message, Jones also received an email addressing her by the N-word and containing a similar message about being “selected to pick cotton.” “Who is doing this and how are they able to keep coming back?” she asked. “You don’t feel safe in anything that you do, because you don’t know who’s doing it. You don’t know how far they’ll take it.”"

No one sending such texts to children should expect leniency. They and whatever organization coordinated these attacks need to feel the long arm of the law.

You may read the rest of the article here on CNN.

"1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it.

3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

4 And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again." ~ Numbers 12
