A star Black athlete in New York has left his high school after an assistant athletic director told him he became fast by "running from police."


Tony Humphreys, a 16-year-old junior who has already committed to play baseball at Boston College, told PIX Channel 11 that the incident occurred after he joined Iona Prep's track team in the offseason.

"He comes up to me, and asked why was I doing track," Humphrey said of the assistant athletic director.

"It never hurts to gain speed," Humphrey said he responded.

"But the educator implied Humphrey was already fast enough. And he had a reason," the station reports. "Humphrey said the assistant AD said the teen 'gained that speed by running from the police.'"

After Humphrey told his mother about the assistant athletic director's remark, they decided he would transfer from Iona Prep — a private school in New Rochelle — to a public school near their home in Cortland.

Humphrey said it wasn't the first time he experienced racism at Iona Prep.

"My freshman year, I took it up with the deans, I took it up with the higher ups, and nothing happened to the other student," he said.

On Tuesday, other students at Iona Prep staged a walkout in support of Humphrey. Iona Prep announced in a letter to parents that the assistant athletic director accused of making the remark has resigned.

Good to see he already has that healthy sense of pride at a young age. He knows his talent, and he’s taking it elsewhere. I bet that school has a terrible season without him.

These CACs just refuse to learn, don’t they?

You would think in the era of social media, where they’re easily able to see their fellow white supremacist Neanderthals piss their careers away for not being able to contain their inherent racism, that they would just button their dikk suckers up until they’re among their equally racist spouse and friends away from work.

But nope. Their innate demonic nature overrides their self preservation instinct and they just HAVE to say stupid, racist, insensitive shyt, even at their own peril. This is the so called “superior” and “more intelligent” race. Can’t stand these pieces of shyt. And, every day, more and more stories come out that validate my nearly lifelong feelings to not interact with these fakkits outside of awkward, forced interactions at work

Good for him for having composure at such a young age, he’s better than I was at 16

Don’t know much about you and you might’ve been a wiser 16 year old than I was

but I got into fights/altercations when I was that age

The mix of hormones, lack of maturity but “think I know it all”, and disrespect would’ve been a volatile cocktail for me at that age.

It’s hard to expect a teenager to just “turn the other cheek” that’s why I commended him but maybe where you come from it’s a little easier
