Former Emory University Black Employee Arrested for Racist Graffiti

It’s really sad that this seems to happen a couple of times every year. What do people who do this think they gain?

The Post Millennial reports:

HATE HOAX: Black employee arrested over racist graffiti on Emory University building

Suspected vandal Roy Lee Gordon Jr., an-ex Emory University employee and black man, has been arrested for allegedly spraying racist graffiti at his workplace.

In what appears to be another incident in a string of hate hoaxes in the past several months, the former part-time Emory staff member is accused of vandalizing the university’s Autism Center with racist and antisemitic graffiti in early August.

According to the Daily Wire, racial slurs were written near the workspace occupied by two African-American women. There was also a swastika painted near the office of a Jewish individual. In addition, a glass door had been ruined and nearby vending machines were damaged.

At the time of the vandalism’s discovery, the private Atlanta school issued an impassioned Aug. 20 statement. “These acts of racism and antisemitism are painful for all of us at the EAC and in the Emory community. They will not be tolerated, and every effort will be made to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Emory University officials said of the crimes perpetrated on the weekend of Aug. 7 and 8.

After the alleged perpetrator was arrested, a milder message was released:

“Emory University is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive campus for all faculty, staff, students, patients and their families.”

A police mugshot published by the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows that Gordon is black, the first time his race has been revealed publicly.

I’m shocked! I am in awe such a thing could happen. I am truly fiberglasted..

I’m not shocked at what happened. I’m shocked that the news media didn’t make it into national news before the hoax was revealed.
