Yes, yes, I know it isn't SEC related. But I do believe we can use the SEC Rant as a place to discuss a common goal as well. We sure do not agree with these types of happenings. It is truly sad, disgusting, and should not be acceptable at any level. No jokes, Trolls, or flaming from me on this stuff.

Sanction?
Get rid of that trash, or the chapter as a whole is as guilty as are the individuals.

What's even more alarming is how people think this shite doesn't go on at every university in the South on a regular basis.

Not saying other areas of the country aren't racist, they just generally don't get caught doing stupid shite like making songs about it.

Racism is terrible.

"The N word" still hurts people and should never be used.

People who think they have to behave like social policemen are hiding something from society if not themselves.

If you believe that this little video says anything about Oklahoma University, Oklahoma the state, or fraternities in general then you're guilty of thoughts quite similar to racism.

If you're one of the ones who thought he needed to jump on here and state, "Racism sucks! I ain't racist! I hate racism!" then you've left me SMH. It's 2015. Of course you're not racist. Why in hell would you think that anyone thought you were?

Someone running around going, "I'm not racist! Racism sucks!" is not unlike someone running around saying, "I don't believe the world is flat! I know the earth is round!" If I ever heard anyone saying this then I would be thinking, "Hmmm. Some part of that idiot thinks the earth is flat."

Good on the University for handling it in a responsible manner. Shame on those who were a part of it.

I've scanned most of this thread and am not going to respond to all of it, but I do have some general comments. For context, I went to a small school with deeply ingrained southern roots and tradition and a massive Greek system. That school had made major strides in academic prestige in the last twenty or so years. My fraternity was comprised mainly of white kids from various southern cities and towns. Anyway, my thoughts based on personal experience:

1) frick these kids. They should be punished severely for being so stupid and allowing this to go on.

2) This kind of attitude is not totally uncommon, but I've never seen anything like this is a group setting. I had friends who said some things that made you say "woah there," but never anything this overtly hateful. They generally realized on their own that that crap was wrong, and nobody thought they were cool for saying it.

3) I think OBReb is right about how something like this would have started. This chant has probably been around for 100 years. What's shocking is that at no point did a group of upperclassmen put an end to it.

4) I actually found the racist stuff to be more common among alums than students. We had alums who were extremely upset when they found out we were rushing a couple black kids, even threatening to stop donating. I had one drunk alum (probably 50-60 years old) at a Homecoming event actually walk up while I was talking to one of those guys and offer to donate $10K to the fraternity if we'd stop rushing him, all while he was standing right there. I tried to play it off as a joke, and I think the kid thought that's what it was. The amount was probably drunkenly overstated, but the message definitely wasn't a joke.

I only tell that story to say that there might be a similar culture happening with this chapter, but they've just bought into it. This stuff doesn't start with the kids in the video, but that obviously doesn't excuse them.

I feel like the person recording it and then making it public was being brave enough.

No fricking way I would stand up to a group of crazy people shouting racist shite. What would potentially getting the shite kicked out of me solve?
