Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA), 2nd Vice Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, released the following statement in response to racist text messages sent to Black people nationwide:

“It is deeply disturbing to learn that vile, racist, and threatening messages are being directed at young African Americans across our nation, including on our college campuses. Such acts of hatred have no place in our society. They are an affront to the principles of equality, respect, and unity that form the very foundation of our democracy.

“These malicious actions, intended to spread fear and division, remind us of the work that remains in combating hate and ensuring safety and dignity for all Americans. Let it be clear: we will not be intimidated or silenced. Those who seek to sow discord will not succeed.

“We stand united against all forms of extremism, and we reaffirm our commitment to a nation where every individual is treated with respect and dignity. Together, we will confront this darkness with resilience, and we will continue to build a future rooted in justice and inclusion.”
