Horrible text message

Sorry if this has been discussed. I looked and didn't see any posts.

 

Has anyone received the horrible text message going around? DH got it from a family member today. 

 

FWD: ATTENTION!: White people must report to the cotton fields tomorrow morning at 6:30 am for orientation. Thank you.

Obama.

 

Ugh. I can't believe people find this funny.

Re: Horrible text message

  • I got a variation of it yesterday...

    It had inauguration day as the time whites were to report.

    Disgusting, but I wasn't surprised at all by the person who sent it to me and thought it was, "hilarious."

  • I haven't even heard about it.  Is it a virus?
  • No one would dare - they know they'd get an earful.
    Slainte!
    my read shelf:
    Jenni (jenniloveselvis)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • That is AWFUL!

  • lol Marquis. I didn't even know cell phones could get viruses. It makes sense. i just never thought about it before :)

     

    But i doubt its a virus. I would expect this from the sender. And tons of people have recieved it and they all said its from someone they expected it from.

  • Oh yes, making fun of slavery is hilarious.

    Ditto!

    I think some crazy racist moron sent this off in an email or text thinking it was "funny" and it got to more crazy racist morons and it became a viral thing...

    Trust me--the person who sent it to me was exactly the person I expected to send something like this. I almost threw my phone when I read it. ugh!

  • umwife, is this the same Facebook person?

    If so, I would unfriend immediately.  Both on facebook and IRL.

  • Soprano--yup, it's the same FB guy, the same one that sent me the awful texts and here's the kicker--the same guy who was pretty gracious with most of the communication we had yesterday.

    I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt because of 15 years of friendship, but some things are really, really hard. Who knows what'll happen next?

     

  • Well, since my grandmother emailed me every other idiotic rumor about Obama, I'm sure I'll be receiving this one from her as well. Hmm
