Jason Fordell Says He was Beaten by Four Black Men on No. 4 Subway Train in NYC because he is White

Jason Fordell said he was viciously beaten & robbed by four black men, who taunted him on No. 4 subway train in NYC because he is white.

Jason Fordell said he was viciously assaulted and robbed on a No. 4 subway train by four black men, who taunted for being white. The NYPD did confirm they are investigating the assault and robbery, but stopped short of calling it a hate crime, the New York Daily News said.

Fordell said he was returning home at 5 a.m. from an East Village nightclub where he sells his hand-designed leather accessories when his Gothic getup drew unwelcome attention. After Fordell transferred to a crowded 4 train at 42nd St., four young, black men began harassing him, cops said.

"People started saying stupid little comments - cracker this, white boy this, f*aggot this," Fordell said. "I told them the only reason they were saying this is there was four of them and one of me." "I'm a small, little white kid with long hair," he added. "They got guys three times my size threatening me." Source

There should be no tolerance for this type of viciousness no matter what one's race is. If they called him derogatory names as they assaulted him, then guess what? It's a hate crime because he was targeted for that reason. If anyone has any information, please call the police and tell them what you saw. These four men will strike again.
