A Detroit woman looking to get a party bus for her mother's birthday instead got a huge dose of racism.
Candis Doss, 25, told Fox 2 that she called Detroit Limo Party Bus—a company that she found on Craigslist—to get a quote while she was driving. Her phone dropped the call, she says. Before she could call back, she received a text message from the number she had called that read:

Doss says she has never encountered racism until she received the text message. "It never happened to me, or somebody that was just close to me, where I could feel what they feel. I feel what everybody feels now, I mean, it's just like - when is it gonna stop?" she shared with Fox 2.
