SAE Oklahoma Racist Chant, good old traditions alive and well?

[Doctor Amadeus]

I would link the actual video, but I am not sure if that is allowed, Proof Racism is alive and well?




Yes, some people I guess were just shocked.

[Rukh]

Oklahoma, could we stay out of the news for like... a week?

[Ave07]

I guess being drunk isn't an excuse?

[Tinykong]

Closing the chapter? Holy over reaction.

One video of some college kids is more than enough proof to show that every single white person in America is - and will always be - racists, right?

It's not like there are TONS of videos out there that shows blacks being just as "racist" right?

Here is the only completely true statement you will ever see about racism - it will exist as long as there is mankind. It has existed since the beginning of man (back then it was called tribalism) and will continue until the end. That doesn't mean that there aren't plenty of people that choose not to embrace it or perpetuate it, but it will ALWAYS exist.

also expelled them from school

[Flutterguy]

Considering the backlash, alive and well wouldn't be how I'd describe it.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Yes, because singing about hanging black people from trees, and celebrating exclusionary racist practices, isn't that bad?

Give me a break, I think this is one of many examples of the systemic racism that still exist along with attitudes about race. It's also another example of the bullshit traditions of fraternities as a whole, too bad they don't close all chapters.

Maybe we should just pull them out onto the public square and stone them to death too?

Naw, probably still wouldn't be enough for some folks.

[Tinykong]

I get expelling the people from the video, it's probably against the universities code of conduct. Closing the chapter is ridiculous.

They set up a donation site for the black chef who worked at the frat house who is now out of a job. I guess everyone else who wasn't involved is just shit out of luck as they try to find housing and now are branded as racists.

Was every member of the chapter involved? If not, closing the chapter is a PR move for the university.

Yes, just like there is hundreds of years of blacks oppressing whites, and systematically trying to exterminate them, EH, I think, the history and traditions that follow this sort of bullshit are lost on you, because of a few reactionary examples one could give, give me a break!

[Kryctos]

People can do enough retarded shit on their own they don't need retarded club traditions to help them with do more of it.

They support this behavior, and are part of the same system that engaged in it, YES they should lose a chapter, which actually didn't happen, it was suspended indefinitely, which means there is NO determined time for when it will be back, which means it could be back tomorrow or never.

...and celebrating exclusionary racist practices, isn't that bad?

I know, right?

But I am white, so much for joining any one of the BLACK ONLY fraternities or, should I get elected to CONGRESS, be able to join the Congressional BLACK Caucus.

So, guilty by association? How hypocritically prejudicial.

[Sledfang]

There is going to be a huge backlash against whites after this. And it's not imaginary.

Right just as much as their is as much chance of me joining the girl scouts, REALLY?


You think Black Only Fraternities or Caucuses are because of hundreds of years of blacks only and white exclusion. So given the fact you suggest there might be a double standard or something wrong, what is your point, that THIS is same and acceptable?

[theostrichsays]

There are still racist people in America????? Who would have ever guessed it...
I really don't care though. I dealt with enough racist pricks in the Army who had the power, and used it, to mess with peoples livelihoods to not care if people are saying hurtful words.

This is a college fraternity, not a church, not some group of individuals bonded by a common cause, these are idiotic fraternities, engaging in racist acts and singing about hanging blacks from trees.
