Khalid Kamau, mayor of South Fulton in Georgia, has been in the headlines recently due to his arrest and strained relations with his city council. This time, however, Kamau is the one calling in authorities after receiving a barrage of racist emails and voicemails that threaten his safety.
Recently, BLACK ENTERPRISE reported on Kamau's July 8 arrest for trespassing on private property. He believed the property was vacant and for sale. After news of the incident broke, anonymous callers and messages began to flood in, many of which were filled with hate speech and racial slurs. Fox 5 Atlanta also uncovered several emails, the most graphic of which stated, “Hey you ugly Black [expletive],” and, “I hope some of those good old KKK boys give you some of that old-time Southern justice. I’ll throw a party when I read about that.”
Kamau's attorneys are urging South Fulton Police to provide the mayor with round-the-clock protection as they investigate the situation. They emphasized the necessity of the request, stating, “For any city over a population of 100,000, that would be common sense to give them protection.”
Kamau continues to maintain his innocence and insists he has done nothing wrong. He is currently under investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, however the public is still in the dark when it comes to the reason behind the investigation. The negative attention surrounding Kamau's actions has escalated, but he remains resolute in his innocence.
