Police in New York are investigating an alleged hate crime after an African American family received an anonymous note asking them to leave the town where they live.
The Copes were asked to leave Lindenhurst on Long Island, which the letter claims is “84 per cent white”.
“Attn: African-American family,” the note written in capital letters says. “This is coming from Lindenhurst community.
“You don’t belong here. Please leave Lindenhurst as soon as you can. It will be better for all of us. Find the town where there are more people like you.”
