Shortly after the election you probably heard from CBN (Click Bait News) about the text messages sent to big b Black folks. Messages they, rightly, found offensive. Now CBN is reporting on offensive text messages being sent to italic l Latinos. Reactions range from disgust to "something must be done" even if that undermines our democracy. No one, definitely not CBN, is asking a key question.
How do they know? They being the folks sending these text messages. How do they know that a phone number is for a big b Black or a italic l Latino? Is there a directory with demographics somewhere? Is it on the dark web? Really? Do we have to fire up TOR to find out? Probably. No one in the fourth estate is going to tell us.
It could be something else. Maybe little w whites are getting these texts and just concluding: wrong number. Maybe CBN feels there are no clicks in reporting everything so they've selectively reported only those things they find profitable.
So how do we find out? We probably can't and we'll probably never know.
