''A black teen in New Jersey seeking to win election to a student government office at a mostly white school was busted for sending racist text messages to himself, ostensibly to garner attention, sympathy and votes, school officials said.''
They said things like: “We have NEVER and will NEVER have an [N-word] to lead our school.”
Another read: “COMEONE your black!!! lol you’re a joke for even trying to run.”
His father said at the time of the investigation that his son was “extremely nervous and feels threatened.”
“It is a predominantly white school and there may be a few sections of the school who are fearful of a new face trying to get in office,” the father said.
''Police tracked the texts and ultimately determined that he actually sent them to himself using a phone app called TEXTME.
A source said the teen no longer attends the school. Meanwhile, administrators expressed relief in the finding.''
