Let’s Rally Together and Demand Action Regarding the Racist Text Messages Sent to our Children!


Howard Eagle is a longtime educator and local anti-racism advocate, known for his campaigns for the Rochester school board and prolific political and social commentary. Eagle taught social studies in the RCSD for 23 years, before retiring in 2010, and is now an adjunct professor in the Department of African American Studies at SUNY Brockport.

So, apparently it has been confirmed that this modern-day-slavish-town is on the list of places targeted throughout some thoroughly racist text messages. If I could take a guess, I would say these messages are more than likely from diabolical white folks empowered as a result of Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election.

 

One question I have is why is the media taking such a mild mannered milk-toast approach relative to reporting this dastardly criminal behavior—as in this article posted on rochesterfirst.com, RCSD, NY leaders condemn racist text messages sent nationwide?

 

The gibberish in the article, which Mr. Beckford spewed about "Ai" is just largely irrelevant gibberish. We don't need a lesson on the tools that are available to racist criminals to help them carry out this type of racist handiwork. In general, we're already aware of how dangerous super-technology has become. THE CENTRAL ISSUE IS WHAT WILL LOCAL, STATES, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS DO TO DEMONSTRATE SWIFTLY AND WITH CERTAINTY THAT THIS SORT OF DIABOLICAL, WHITE-SUPREMACIST-BASED, RACIST, CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED (NOT UNDER TRUMP, NOR ANYONE ELSE) - PERIOD???!!! That is the question that we should already be seriously seeking a definitive answer to. All the rest is merely rhetoric and noise.

 

Apparently Rochester City School District students are among those who have been targeted, which led to the school district issuing a statement, which is also very milk-toast-ish in nature.

 

It was good to see that "New York State Attorney General Letitia James also released a statement, calling for the recipients of these messages to contact her office." However, there is no mention of what her office, and/or anyone else in New York State is doing to identify and apprehend the culprits.

 

We know that a number of States are conducting investigations (in addition to the FBI and Justice Department). New York definitely needs to be among those conducting a separate investigation. We need to hear from Ms. James as to whether or not this is in fact the case. It is important that we not let this end in silence (without prosecution and jail time). This situation is very, very serious, especially and particularly because our CHILDREN are being targeted.

 

WITH THE SUPER-SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY THAT STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS POSSESS - THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT COULD POSSIBLY CONVINCE ME THAT THEY CAN'T TRACE THE SOURCE OF THESE VICIOUS, RACIST, CRIMES—They Can! AND HOPEFULLY, WE WON'T LET THIS BE SWEPT UNDER THE OLD, PROVERBIAL, RACIST-POLITICAL-RUG, AND/OR RETURN TO OUR ENTRENCHED SILOS, AND FORGET ALL ABOUT IT IN A FEW DAYS. IT NEEDS TO BE NIPPED IN THE BUD.

 

This IS the type of issue that our community should come together around, and insist upon serious, decisive, anti-racist action, especially since it is quite obvious that many in positions of authority are seemingly downplaying the urgency of this matter (I suspect because many, if not most, are much more concerned about order than they are about justice, largely because of who the victims are).

 

LET'S GO!!!
