Above is the NBC's official story about the upcoming hearing of SAE, the fraternity in which led the infamous chant against black people joining the fraternity, and the University of Oklahoma. The University wants the fraternity permanently removed from schools nationwide, and the fraternity is suing in order to keep their position, not wanting a few of its members to destroy all of what the frat has done.

I honestly don't give a damn what any member of this fraternity thinks. The fact that they didn't get arrested, charged with performing a hate crime (by sending it to the Black Student Union's leader at their University) means that the school gave them absolute mercy. I mean, we all know white kids don't often get in trouble for what they do anyway, let alone frat boys. Yet, the situation stands. This fraternity doesn't deserve to fight against a decision. Instead of getting upset over the disciplinary actions being placed, they should be upset for why they got the punishment in the first place. Their racist, ignorant mayo behavior gave them that punishment. It was their decision, no matter what people have to say about it.



Just by listening to the chant, displayed above, you wonder why this still happens in 2015. I mean this is 2015. We have made strides in feminism, gay rights, and although we may have not reached where we want to be, the consciousness of the country has changed for those situations. Why haven't race-relations improved? Sure, we've become more tolerant of each other. We have to get to know a black person to understand they aren't a thug, or realize AFTER an hour-long commute with a Muslim person that they aren't a terrorist. We have not improved, we have just gotten better at hiding our true stereotypical and ignorant minds. This fraternity goes to school with many black people, even having a BSU as an extracurricular. But, that doesn't change what they did. This is what we face as a people everyday, and I'm absolutely sick of it.

Watching this story on the news made me absolutely sick. These students got what was coming to them after this crystal clear display of racism. My mom and i have also talked about why race-relations haven't improved. Older generations of white people who have lived through the worst times in black history and those who have themselves participated in racism and hatred are passing those same behaviors down to their children. They are telling there kids that African Americans are bad people and that they aren't equal to them. Basically, they have brain washed their children into the ideology that blacks don't deserve the same respect. When I first heard of this on the news, there was a question going around as to whether the punishment of expulsion was "too harsh" which i thought was ridiculous. Expulsion was a perfectly appropriate punishment and as you have said, maybe even more repercussions should have been put upon the boys.

Are you guys really surprised? I'm not even slightly surprised. Racism hasn't gone anywhere and it probably never will because the media promotes it on the low. For one, these frat boys have most likely been sheltered by their parents money so they haven't experienced any real danger. Yet little do they know that this chant will give them a free a** whopping curtsy of the KFBF(kris.free.beatings.foundation.). If their claim to sue ever makes it to the court-room it is proof that this country is a joke. Its a blatant discrimination and it is a hate crime , it should automatically be thrown out. To be honest the only reason things like this still happen so openly because the African american needs to stick together and take a strong stand. Not just a march for a week then the next week their sagging their pants shouting "nigger." Most importantly the N word should be banned from the United states. Almost no one who lives today actually knows the struggle of the word so they shouldn't use it. I'm sick even thinking about because I shouldn't be this upset on a Sunday night while I'm trying to do my hw.
