Hate Speech Hysteria at the University of Oklahoma

In March of 2015, people across the U.S. were shocked to see a video showing two members of the University of Oklahoma SAE fraternity chanting racial epithets. The reaction of the OU administration was swift and draconian. The offending students were expelled without due process and the entire SAE house was immediately shuttered. Legal scholars, writing in the Washington Post and USA Today, described the university's actions as a violation of the student's First Amendment rights. As Eugene Volokh noted, "racist speech is constitutionally protected." Solely as a result of this incident, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) named OU as one of the ten worst colleges in the U.S. for free speech. Greg Lukianoff, President of FIRE, singled out OU as the most intolerant of all institutions because its actions were taken as a signal by other universities that they could "toss freedom of speech and basic fairness out of the window."

Racial tensions on the OU campus have not subsided. They remain high, and if anything, are now more pronounced than before the 2015 SAE incident. The campus is in the grip of a collective hysteria. The largest single factor driving campus tensions is the student newspaper, the OU Daily. The Daily is perhaps the worst newspaper in the country, college or otherwise. In recent years it has degenerated into a publication entirely devoted to promoting radical left-wing ideology. The newspaper staff sees racism, homophobia, islamophobia, xenophobia, inequity, and social injustice everywhere. In 2014, the OU Daily became the laughingstock of the nation for an article claiming that nude-colored women's underwear was racist.

And it isn't transfriendly either.

But yet there are national black only fraternities and sororities...

The university in general, is probably the most offensive thing in America.

Not much mention in the politically correct article of the black violence at OU ...

This animal, OU running back Joe Mixon, should not be allowed to ever play football again.

White Guy About to Hit First ‘N-Word’ in Kanye West Karaoke

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Local white guy Randy Murphy brought unexpected tension and horror to O’Malley’s Bar & Grill late last week when he — seemingly unaware of the social landmines littered throughout the song — approached the first “N-word” in a karaoke version of Kanye West’s “All Falls Down,” according to fellow patrons.

Murphy, allegedly visiting O’Malley’s on a first date with Economics undergrad Jessica Almer, made the uninformed choice of song after consuming several “O’Malley Coronaritas” — a margarita mixed with beer — in a misguided effort to impress his date with his knowledge of hip-hop, selecting the track without first screening the lyrics for language that could cause his social demise.

“I could tell he was in trouble right away,” said Almer. “He slurred his words and couldn’t keep up with the song. And when Kanye rhymes ‘third’ with ‘career,’ [Murphy] just kind of stared at the screen for a second. I think he realized what was coming.”...

...Richard O’Malley, owner and proprietor of O’Malley’s, later vowed to have the song removed as soon as he could “figure out the damn machine,” which he insisted is “a piece of sh!t that only that attracts punk kids and needs more Eagles songs.”...

It is only discrimination and racism[what ever the hell that is] when they don’t get their way.

All states need to defund the liberal arts portion of their colleges.

When will the Girl Scouts reject the Brownies?

[Buttons12]

Did even one county in OK go red this year? How did they come by such a messed up university?

[MarkL]

And on quite a few campuses, black only housing!

Only at Universities are segregation and ethnic cleansing all the rage (the ethnic cleansing, part of the BDS movement.)

And words, don’t forget that double standard.

[boycott]

Liberal colleges and universities are trying their best to prove segregationists right.

The unforgiveable sin. It’s OK if you rape, slice necks or shoot cops shouting “f*uck the police.” No problem there. But say the word “n*gger”, and you’re eliminated.

What do the girl scouts have to do with the university of Oklahoma? Stay on subject
