My wife and I are both white and her friend and ex are African American. She told me about the party but when I read the text messages i was shocked. My wife said "can I come???!

Yes, it does sound bad. But the key there is SOUNDS, not is. Truth is when you go looking for something, you're going to find something. Not necessarily a real something, but something upsetting. I think it does sound bad, but really, I wouldn't read much into it. It does not mean she's cheating on you. I've said similar things to friends about exes and boys I used to have crushes on and movie stars oh and random boys I've met etc... and I'm totally committed to my boyfriend. If you really want to confront her you can. But be prepared to tell her why you were invading her privacy.
P.S. What does race have to do with anything?

If you trusted her, you wouldn't have read her phone, and if you had, your first thoughts shouldn't be, oh my goodness she still wants her ex!!!!
Its not that different from any text i would write to a mate if she was going partying, I expect your wife would love to go out and let her hair down, regardless if her ex was there or not and as for the pic, maybe she is just interested to see how he is aging.
If its eating you up, your going to have to talk it out with her, but you'll have to tell her you invaded her privacy, and read her texts.
She left her phone available coz she had nothing to hide, i seriously think it was girl chat, and your making too much out of it, maybe you should work on your trust issues, or control issues, you shouldn't have felt the need to read her phone in the first place.

I think you are already hurt, and you do have a right to be mad. Sounds fishy to me...I think you need to at least confront her about it.
