Frat Shut Down After Video of Racist Chant Emerges
The national headquarters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon shuttered its Oklahoma University chapter over the weekend after a video emerged appearing to show members enthusiastically engaged in a racist chant.
“There will never be a ? at SAE!” the formally-dressed members are seen chanting on a charter bus, followed by a reference to lynching. The video was first reported by The Daily Oklahoman after the paper received an anonymous tip.
“I was not only shocked and disappointed but disgusted by the outright display of racism displayed in the video,” the frat’s national leader Brad Cohen said in a statement Monday. “When we learned about this incident, I called an immediate board meeting, and we determined with no mental reservation whatsoever that this chapter needed to be closed immediately. I am proud of my fellow board members because we mean what we say.”
Cohen added that all members of the fraternity were suspended and that some may be removed from the frat.
OU president David Boren also promised an investigation into the video

Yeah I'm already arguing with racists on our local news FB page.
"But what about black people? They have exclusive black fraternities"
The justification is mind bottling. -
White institutions being white. White frats being racist is about as shocking as them being ?

tell them they have white members of black fraternities tho.
I know of a couple white Q-dogs and Kappas.
And it kills me that when people make remarks such as the one you quoted that they totally disregard why the black fraternities were started in the first place. -
Especially this particular fraternity.
I would be so ashamed as a parent of one of these boys, but then again I guess they learned it somewhere. -
It's Oklahoma. Are we really shocked?
-
put away your "are we shocked" and join the finger pointing... it fun...

i just wonder why they dont get all brave and behave like this in front of black people tho?
-
they do when the numbers are in their favor... -
You know the answer to that.
These boys are scary and essentially looking to join a 'gang' of likeminded boys. Strength (and bravery) in numbers. -
Lifetime ban with enforced community service within a black neighborhood is justice served.

Inb4
"What about black on black crime?"
"How can we expect another race to treat us with respect if we don't respect one another?"
And all that other ? .
But still I'm not surprised. -

They got their whole chapter shut down so that's something. All that ? they had to shove up their ass was for nothing now. nh -
Not surprising, these crackers are the descendents of the crackers that burnt down Greenwood.

yeah, but you know how to goes, after some years go by they'll try and bring them back -
White people have the luxury of never really having to think about black people at all if they don't want to, but we always seem to be on their minds. I don't get it. They are racist. I get it, but what's the point of ? like this. I don't hate much of anything, but what little I do hate I give no attention to when I don't have to.

They got shut down but the frat president already said that 'hopefully they can bring the chapter back with a new group of young men in the future" i.e. a new group of ignorance.
No way these boys don't know the history of this fraternity..why would you seek to join this particular organization unless you embrace ignorance or being linked to it? -

see we need to just show up to rallies in very large numbers let's see how buck they get then -
They had police protection as they moved out of the frat house too? Interesting

Just saying its Oklahoma are we shocked is a little off.
It's america are we really shocked should have been the question? -
You white people make me sick
-
I'm sure chants like that are passed down their fraternal lineage, so it's not a rogue group of kids.
-
I been at the point now where its like nothing white people do surprises me....they'll do stuff like this and turn around and say it was a joke.

Racist except for a few hrs on Saturdays
