Texas A&M investigating racist notes left on student's vehicle

Texas A&M is seeking more information about a series of racist notes found on a Black student’s car windshield Wednesday and is offering a $1,200 reward leading to the identification of the person or persons responsible, A&M President Michael K. Young announced Thursday afternoon.

The student tweeted photos of his car with three messages on it that included the N-word, “You don’t belong here,” and “All lives matter” in the parking lot of his College Station apartment. His photo caption on Twitter reads, “I hate it here. Y’all still don’t think A&M is racist? #RacismAtTAMUFeelsLike.”

The tweet, which had been reshared more than 4,100 times as of Thursday afternoon, garnered outrage online, with numerous members of the A&M community and beyond offering the student their support, while others responded with criticism or skepticism.

Young wrote Thursday that the A&M police department is working with the Park West apartment complex to investigate the act.
