Bed-Stuy School Kids Harassed by Driver Yelling 'F*** Black Lives, They Don't Matter'

BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — A man driving by an elementary school in Bed-Stuy yelled, "F*** black lives, they don't matter" and other racist, pro-Trump slurs at the kids during a fire drill on Tuesday morning, according to the NYPD.

"You f***ing gorillas and baby monkeys," the man allegedly yelled at the kids outside Crispus Attucks elementary at Fulton Street and Classon Avenue. "We voted for Trump. Trump's building a wall, b****es, and you'll be going back to where you belong."

After his racist rant, the unidentified man drove his white Nissan straight toward a line of children crossing the street outside the school, placing them in great danger, an NYPD spokesperson told Patch.

Thankfully, there were no injuries, police said.

The man fled southbound on Patchen Avenue toward Fulton Street, police said. His license plate number: 77102MJ.

The student body at Crispus Attucks, or P.S. 21, is 90 percent black, 7.5 percent Hispanic and 1.5 percent white, according to data from the NYC Department of Education.

Police told Patch the incident was reported to them by a school administrator. They said they're investigating it as a case of reckless endangerment. The NYPD said in an email to Patch Friday night that its Hate Crimes Task Force had been notified and was investigating the incident.

We also left a voicemail with Crispus Attucks, whose offices were closed for the night when we called. The president of Community Education Council 16, which oversees P.S. 21, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
