Police refute claim that black Virginia Tech professor was victim of racist attackThere is no evidence that a black Virginia Tech University sociology professor was the victim of a racist attack, the Christiansburg, Virginia Police Department recently announced after an investigation into the allegations.Professor Onwubiko “Biko” Agozino, a self-described scholar-activist with interests in the race-class-gender articulation, said he believed he was targeted earlier this month after several young white men in trucks pulled up in front of his house blaring music and throwing snow and ice from one vehicle.“Dr. Biko Agozino (who recently ran for delegate in the 42d district) and his family were targeted at their home by a group of 8 white young men riding in four 4 different trucks,” according to a statement by New River Valley Indivisible, a progressive organization.“The young white men parked in front of Dr. Agozino’s home and unleashed a torrent of racial slurs, including the N-word, and threw ice bricks onto the property, blocking his driveway. This hateful assault was accompanied by the blaring of music, specifically Drake’s ‘Energy,’ in a calculated effort to terrorize and intimidate Biko and his family,” the statement continued.The allegation made headlines and was quickly condemned by Democratic congressional candidate Adam Murphy, who said in a statement to local media that “hate has no place in the 9th Congressional district” and “this was calculated effort to terrorize and intimidate.”Josh Stanfield of the Substack Virginia Politics Revealed wrote he had seen the video of the incident and that it “matches much of the description in the NRV Indivisible statement.”But the Christiansburg Police Department released a statement Feb. 12 stating that is not what happened.“After several interviews, including a third-party eyewitness, and a detailed investigation, detectives found that a group of juveniles were attending an organized function at a home in the area,” the police said.
