Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national headquarters closed its chapter at the University of Oklahoma Sunday after a video emerged purportedly showing members of the chapter singing a racist chant.
The video quickly gained visibility online. It was obtained and posted to Twitter by Unheard, which describes itself as "an alliance of Black students organized for change within campus administration and atmosphere," shows young men on a bus chanting "There will never be a n----r at SAE."
The tweet, directed at OU president David Boren, says "Racism is alive at The University of Oklahoma."
Students at the university plan to demonstrate on the Norman, Oklahoma campus at 7:30 a.m. local time. A prayer vigil was held Sunday night.
Chelsea Davis, one of two co-directors of Unheard, said the video was recorded during the weekend. Unheard was begun at the beginning of the semester to demand change, especially relating to diversity issues, Davis said.
"Clearly in that video, that is nothing new. That is nothing that just sparks up overnight. That is a chant that was well known, well versed, and seemed to be okay with everybody that was involved," said Davis, a junior at the university.

So true.
Meaning they would be beaten up, because they grossly offended.
Keep in mind that open opposition to Gay Marriage has been deemed equally offensive to gays, and has resulted in things like Brendan Eich being forced to resign over his having made a contribution to a pro-"California Proposition 8" organization. I look forward to seeing your opinions when some students are hounded off campus over their support of traditional marriage.
I’d say why not look at it this way. There won’t be N*r’s at SAE because all black brothers will be treated with dignity and expected to carry on the the same way. Trash walk and trash talk won’t be tolerated.

Please let me know if and when students are “hounded off” campus for supporting traditional marriage. I will do what I can to defend them. Thanks.
As for this fraternity, I understand where they are coming from. They are young and expressing a sentiment. And while not nice, I am sure they have heard worse coming from Negroes. I certainly have. I am sure they won't be chanting the same thing when they are 30. In a way, their chanting is a wake up call. Such a chant would not have entered my mind when I was in college, but today it is literally yelling out that there is a big problem in race relations. In my opinion, the problem didn't come from whites.
But would you want them to "get the crap beat out of them"?
Actually, I think I would.
Oh, so now you want to categorize what is and isn’t free speech?
Then you don’t really believe in the first amendment do you.
If these guys didn’t open their yaps they would have been racists in silence, which is far more dangerous.
They outed themselves by using the very right you would deny them.
You think that would help? It wouldn’t.

I see.
So you’re willing to have your children faced with the prospect of having a life long disability simply for saying something stupid.
Got it.
Drama much? I would be willing for them to “learn a lesson”. Don’t think I said I wanted them disabled.
What a silly remark.
I would assume you haven’t said blacks (N-word) should be hung from trees.
Have you ever personally experienced "getting the crap beaten out of you"? (As distinct from a simple slap or punch?)
Are you aware of how often a "beating the crap out of" somebody can result in serious long-term injury or death? Particularly when certain population segments engage in it?
No, truth.
The fact that you keep doubling down on stupid with regards to committing physical violence on students for saying something stupid is not only vulgar, it’s beyond redemption.
Take your feral fantasies of revenge elsewhere, I’m not interested in your petulant and stupid replies.
BTTT
What’s she going to do, call a “time-out” when she thinks her spawn have “learned their lesson”?
Has no concept of reality nor the consequences of such.
Nope, but I have never done anything to get the crap beat out of me. If I did something to antagonize someone to the point of beating me up, well, it would be on me. I am smart enough to know when to keep my mouth shut and at least not to put it on video.
This is really a silly discussion. What I write on FR will in no way cause these clowns to be physically assaulted. You do realize that, don’t you?
And I am certainly not interested in yours. So I guess we are even.
