'Racism is part of the culture': Oklahoma State graduate reveals how SAE pledges were [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 11, 2015 | Sean O'Hare

A former Sigma Alpha Epsilon brother from Oklahoma State University has come forward to say that racism was part of the fraternity's culture - and not exclusive to one campus. It comes a day after the University of Oklahoma shut down its SAE frat house and expelled two members for conducting racist chants on a coach trip last Saturday. The Oklahoma State graduate, now in his thirties and who wishes to remain anonymous, told DailyMail.com that the footage didn't surprise him and that similar things happened at his school. 'I can promise you that any SAE who saw the Oklahoma University racist bus chant story thought, "yup, pretty much how it was when I was in house." 'Racism is a part of the SAE culture. They say that it's because SAE is the only antebellum fraternity still in existence. 'We had numerous "rituals" that were outright racist, including one where we designated pledges with a "n***** name". 'Hell... We hung the flags of the confederate states outside our house for a month every year, (note: not THE confederate flag, but the secession states), regardless, the message was clear'.

Oh oh. Was SAE the fraternity that caused controversy at a SEC school because it held an annual ball where the members dressed up as Confederate soldiers? If the fraternity lived up to its missions statement it would be a great positive to young men.

If Obama’s friend JayZ sang that song nothing would be said.

Yesterday I did something I almost never do.
Watched the NBC nightly news with Liberal Lester.

After a few minutes of Hillary clips and 30 seconds with Chuck Todd and Angria Mitchell...

And now on to today’s top story, racism at Oklahoma State University!

Blah blah blah...

When there is outrage over Al Sharpton and Rev Wight and Holder and ‘his people’ and vulgar Rap and all the racial BS that come out of blacks I might give a damn but otherwise...

The First Amendment does not protect people from being offended. If they said those things about the Tea Party they would be carried around the campus.

Pray America is waking

I'm trying to remember, but I know some Freeper will know for sure.

During the events in Ferguson, didn't some nitwit from a college in Minnesota or some such place post tweets about killing cops?

My recollection is that the liberal educational establishment closed ranks and protected her from any blow-back from that.

And she committed an actual CRIME in inciting violence.

Seems to me people would be singing a lot fewer songs with racial slurs in them if songs with racial slurs in them weren't consistently some of the biggest hits on the Billboard charts.

This whole issue is nothing but race bait. It would be best to move on to the next topic with all possible haste.

That was the one I was thinking about. Thank you.

The update you posted revealed that the student had lost her "leadership" position, but certainly wasn't expelled.

I also recall that the villain of the story was the guy who publicized her irrational, un-American, racist, and criminal tweeting.

“That was a KA tradition for decades”

KA is the one ring that my dad has worn for as long as I can remember.
