CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — The North Carolina Attorney General’s Office and Clemson University Police said they’ve received complaints about people getting racist text messages after the election.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson had some strong words about the text messages that have come directly following Tuesday’s election.

Wilson called the messages “vile and deplorable,” saying the people who sent them are trying to divide us and we must “stand together against the hatred.”
“She sent that text to me,” said Sharon Herring, who told KXAN-TV in Austin, Texas that her 13-year-old granddaughter received such a message.
The text was similar to this disturbing message:
“Greetings, You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation. Be ready at 1:00 pm SHARP with your belongings.”
The message goes on to tell the people that they will be “searched down” and one says the person is in “Plantation Group C.”
