A Pittsburgh woman says she is one of the targets of racist text messages that have been circulating in some states including Pennsylvania. Aisha Mariner told WPXI-TV that she received the text after the election was over this week. The exact words in the messages have varied some but they all suggest that someone is planning to pick up Black people and take them to work as slaves at a cotton plantation. The FBI has said they are aware of the situation and they are working with other federal agencies to address it. The messages have been received by others in Georgia, Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, and the Carolinas.
