When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music. I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful, babe. There's someone crossing the street. Sorry, I didn't see him there.

If you feel different, you drive different. Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things.

They called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne. Who I called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, Jethalari, it's Donkey of the Day for Friday, November 8th. Goes to whoever is sending out these racist text messages referencing slavery.

Now, if you haven't heard, all day yesterday in black group chats across America, texts were being shared and it was text messages that folks were receiving that were telling Negroes, report to your nearest plantation.

I'm not making this up. Yesterday, I had quite a few people hit me up concerned because they were receiving text messages like this. Good evening, Isaiah. You have been selected to become a slave patient at your nearest plantation. Please be clean and ready by 3 a.m. tomorrow. No need to bring essentials nor clothes as you will be handed worker clothes. You will be picked up in a white van by a Trumpm. tomorrow. No need to bring essentials nor clothes as you will be handed worker clothes. You will be picked up in a white van by a Trump representative. After escorted,

you will be stripped indeed down upon arrival. Don't cooperate. Belt the ass and lynched immediately. Your name will be, your name will further be erased and given a number. Your number is slave five and you'll be a part of slave C group. Thank you. Now, I'm gonna be honest with you. When I first

read this, I said to myself, people play too much. And I'm not even sure this is a white person because I've never heard a white person say belt to ass. But if this week's election showed us anything, it's that we can't assume what certain racial groups do anymore. But I brushed that text off until I had a few more people send me those text messages. And then I realized it was a thing. Did anyone in this room receive a text message telling them to go back to the plantation no i report to your nearest plantation they want me a fair there that's you go no okay no you should go though they said d down i know you need that damn you're gonna get some free d to be a slave that's right now when she take that wig off

and you see them cornrows first of of all, I already told y'all. You got to look the part. Wow. Let's go to NBC. Not my hair already done for the trip. Not my hair already done. Let's go to NBC News. Corinne Freeman was at home with her kids on Wednesday when she got a text from a number she didn't recognize. It was this odd, ominous feeling

text message basically saying, hello, you've been selected to be a slave on a plantation and you're scheduled to get picked up on at 12 a.m. on November 13th. And she's not alone. Social media sites have been flooded with people from New York to Florida who say they've gotten these racist messages. Freeman and others believe the text may have been sparked by the current political climate. The wording of the text appear to differ. Some have misspellings. Others address individuals by name. But the theme is consistent, telling recipients they've been selected to pick cotton. All of the people NBC

News spoke to who got these messages are black. For recipients like Corinne Freeman, the digital hate is fueling her real world concerns. I am overwhelmed with anxiety and fear about how I'm going to help my children make sense of the world that they have to navigate as black children. Now, a few things. Number one, how they get all these people's phone numbers. Number two, this is probably not as widespread as people think. One or three people got a text, posted it online,

and then everyone took the same text and started acting like it was sent to them personally in three. And this is the biggest one. And the reason I'm doing this as donkey of the day. Let's just assume these are Trump supporters. Let's just assume these are conservatives. Answer me this one question. Why do you want to prove people right? Donald Trump won. He is going to be the 47th president of the United States of America. He won fair and square. Looks like he won the popular vote. electoral college republicans won the senate you might win the house america made a choice the last thing any of any of you all should be doing is proving all your critics

right okay so many different people say the only reason trump won is because america is a racist country huffington post said trump ran the most racist campaign in modern history and he won so many people say all trump supporters are bigots and racists. Why are you idiots proving them right now? Mind you, I know these folks are playing. But if you are a Trump supporter, you should denounce this unless, of course, you don't care. Unless, of course, you agree with whatever the text is saying. But the real moral of the story is this is exactly the opposite of what I told you all should happen.

Y'all not tired of arguing and fighting. There will be a lot of real battles that we need to fight in the future. The last thing we need to be doing is fighting amongst each other, okay? We don't need to be riling each other up with this petty foolishness. I literally had people hitting me up concerned about this because they honestly don't know what a Trump presidency will bring. And then I

had some guys who will remain nameless even though they sitting in this room excited right now. But they were excited because they was told to report some way to get D down. Okay listen to all listen i just want to tell all trump supporters everyone who voted for trump if you really dislike liberals if you really don't like democrats and their woke ideologies then simply do one thing prove them wrong by not doing dumb ass cheap ass racist ass stunts like this uh. Please give whoever is sending out these racist text messages

telling people to report to the plantation the biggest hee-haw. Jess, why is Envy looking so unbothered right now? Because he's going to be in the house when this goes down? You a house or what? Oh, yeah. He's like, how much you paying?

You want to report where to get deed down? Please. You going to be there with me, Envy? Looking for the hoes. Charlamagne on first. I don't know what you're talking about. where to get D down? Please. You going to be there with me, Amy? Looking for the hoes. Yeah. Charlamagne going first. I don't know what you're talking about.

All right. They're going to separate y'all though. It's going to be like the Mendez Bubbles. You go this way, you go this way. Jesus.

All right. Well, that was Donkey of the Day. Thank you for that Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day is sponsored by renowned personal injury
