Reports of hate-filled messages under investigation
On Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation stated they are now investigating a series of racist and offensive messages sent to LGBTQ communities and communities of color around the country.
At first, text messages were targeted at Black Americans and African Americans, then the wave of hateful digital rhetoric spread to target the LGBTQ and Latin American communities.
Earlier this month, the initial text messages were sent out to Black American and African American people regarding a fake work assignment that suggested they were going to be working as slaves in a plantation.
College students, high school students, professionals and even children, reported receiving the mass texts from unrecognized phone numbers following the presidential election.
