У кількох штатах США афроамериканцям, зокрема школярам, були розіслані расистські повідомлення із закликом «готуватися збирати бавовну на найближчих плантаціях». За даними Forbes, федеральна влада вже розслідує цю справу.
Федеральне бюро розслідувань США (ФБР) поінформувало, що йому відомо про образливі й расистські повідомлення, і зв’язалося з міністерством юстиції країни та іншими федеральними органами.
За даними CNN, правоохоронці отримали заяви про повідомлення мовою ворожнечі з понад 20 штатів, зокрема з Нью-Йорка, Каліфорнії, Огайо, Пенсильванії, Північної Кароліни, Луїзіани, Теннессі. Стиль текстів однаковий, але формулювання різні. Водночас послання були схожі тим, що в них говориться про рабство. Спільною є також вказівка на місце та час збору бавовни.
NBC News опублікувало кілька образливих повідомлень.
Наприклад, в одному з них відправник написав: «За вами приїдуть на коричневому фургоні. Будьте готові до обшуку, щойно прибудете на плантацію».
В іншому текстовому повідомленні те, що одержувач повинен збирати бавовну, пов’язується з перемогою Дональда Трампа на президентських виборах.
Маргарет Гуанг, голова громадської правозахисної організації Southern Poverty Law Center, висловила осуд з приводу згаданих інцидентів і наголосила у своїй заяві, що «лідери країни повинні засудити расизм на всіх рівнях».
Деррік Джонсон, голова організації із захисту громадянських прав NAACP, в інтерв’ю AP зазначив, що згадка про рабство у 2024 році викликає глибоке занепокоєння. За його словами, повідомлення мають на меті перешкодити афроамериканцям користуватися такими ж свободами, як інші громадяни в Сполучених Штатах.
Як повідомляє Forbes, генеральні прокурори Північної Кароліни та Луїзіани також засудили повідомлення й закликали людей інформувати про такі тексти.

В американському Джексонвілі, штат Флорида, озброєний гвинтівкою та пістолетом чоловік увірвався до магазину та застрелив трьох темношкірих відвідувачів. Після він застрелився сам.
Про це повідомляє РБК-Україна з посиланням на Reuters.
Шериф міста Т. К. Вотерс розповів журналістам, що чоловік був озброєний пістолетом Glock і гвинтівкою AR-15, також він був вдягнений в тактичний жилет і маску. Він увійшов до магазину мережі Dollar General і застрелив двох темношкірих чоловіків і жінку, після чого застрелився сам.
Слідство зазначає, що злочин було скоєно на расовій основі, адже перед злочином він розіслав кілька маніфестів до ЗМІ, де виражав свою ненависть до темношкірих. Крім цього, його зброя була розмальована свастиками.

Двом дівчатам-підліткам, які напали на жінку, висунули звинувачення. За даними поліції, справу кваліфікують як злочин на ґрунті ненависті.
Унаслідок нападу 15- та 16-річної дівчат 57-річна Джил Лекруа зазнала травми голови, їй довелося накласти шви, повідомляє New York Post.
Обом фігуранткам справи було висунуто звинувачення в скоєнні злочину на ґрунті ненависті. У поліції Нью-Йорка додали, що третю підозрювану ще розшукують.
За даними правоохоронців, коли Джил Лекруа їхала в автобусі, до неї підійшли троє зловмисниць і вдарили її по голові невідомим предметом, вигукуючи при цьому зауваження проти білих.
Після нападу Лекруа в інтерв’ю The Post повідомила, що підозрювані звинуватили її в підтримці президента Дональда Трампа, а одна з них сказала, що «ненавидить білих людей, їхню білу шкіру». «Ніколи в житті на мене так не нападали», – зазначила жінка.

Володимир Бобко, представник партії ВО „Свобода” Тернопільської облради, вимагає депортації чорношкірих студентів з України після акції протесту проти расизму в центрі Тернополя в четвер, про це він написав на своїй сторінці в Facebook.
Володимир Бобко вважає, що студенти таким чином намагаються спровокувати протести, які набирають обертів у США.
„Вони або ж розпалюють неспокій, щоб під час заворушень винести товар із місцевих магазинів, як це зараз відбувається в США, або діють за вказівкою з-за кордону і втягують нашу державу в міжнародний скандал”, – припустив депутат.
Депутат закликав поліцію та Службу безпеки України (СБУ) встановити особу кожного демонструючого студента та депортувати їх з України.
„Я вимагаю у поліції і СБУ встановити всіх осіб, причетних до акції, і депортувати їх за межі України. На дорогу вручити пакет із сухарями і по жовтому жилету кожному. На пам’ять”, – заявив політик.
