A Russia-backed Facebook page called "Blacktivist" sold a number of branded items online as part of its effort to exacerbate racial tensions before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to a new report by CNN.

A total of 87 items, including T-shirts and sweatshirts with messages such as "young, gifted and black" and "our sons matter," were sold on the store service, according to CNN.

The Facebook page and the items being sold appear to be part of a broader effort by Russia to cause chaos in the election.
