Homophobic Slurs Reported at University of Oklahoma Rap battle
KFOR ^ | SEPTEMBER 26, 2015 | NADIA JUDITH ENCHASSI

Homophobic slurs were reportedly used during a student rap battle Friday night at the University of Oklahoma.

An OU student organization, Queer Inclusion on Campus, posted about the incidents on social media, saying they would “address the situation.”

“We are dismayed at the words OU students chose to utilize at the expense of students who identify as LGBTQ,” the organization said. “We have been told that these unacceptable actions were also accompanied by sexist and body shaming rhetoric, which is also inappropriate.”

QuIC spokesperson Alex Ruggiers said he didn’t know how to describe his emotions after hearing the slurs were used, according to OU Daily.

“It’s hard to describe, actually,” he said. “And, given the culture and the climate on this campus, I think it’s obvious that this was boiling under the surface, and that all it took was something like this for it to explode.”

Ruggiers said the organization heard terms such as “queer” and “faggot” used as insults during the event.

OU Daily also reported that one of the contestants apologized for his lyrics afterwards on the Facebook event.

“I would like to apologize if I hurt anyone with what I said on stage tonight,” Shane Appell said. “The words I chose to hastily rhyme do not necessarily reflect my opinions of any of the other contestants or groups of people.”

Ruggiers said QuIC is now to discuss the next step with OU’s Union Programming Board, which also apologized for the incidents.

“Though the nature of the event calls for the spontaneous creation of unscripted lyrics, we should have created more defined guidelines for contestants,” UPB said. “We do not condone or encourage the marginalization of any human being. Any contestant using language that demeaned members of the LGBTQ community will be disqualified.”

What if you are not afraid of homos but you don’t like them and they disgust you— are you still “homophobic “ ?

“queer” and “faggot” used as insults during the event.

Why would queer be considered from an organization called “Queer Inclusion on Campus?”

Seems most minority and special interest groups use their insecurity and self doubt as a haven. This manifests itself in their lack of anger management, as well.

Look at them crooked and they are “offended”, leave them alone, and they become the biggest bullies in America. There’s no live and let live in their agenda, and if you don’t believe what they believe you’re attacked, or sued.

lyrics from “Money for Nothing” - Dire Straits hit song in 1985:

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire

I remember that song when it was current; never even noticed it until recently when I heard it on the radio. Couldn’t believe it, so I looked it up.

Through the use on new speak the 1st amendment has been turned inside out. Offensive speech is no longer protected but instead is persecuted by those who define it.

LOL! The Left uses another teachable moment to learn us about tolerance.

Did they flee to the LGBTEFDUP “safe space” and cry into a stuffed teddy bear?

America’s #1 minority acting badly against another government-certified victim group. No normal Whitey anywhere around to blame.

So who is at top of that university’s social grievances food chain? The blacks or the gays? Who is winning the victimology sweepstakes?
