Oklahoma University shuts down racist fraternity

[gabosaurus]

It would be better if universities should down the entire fraternity system. The historic purpose of such has long since been displaced in favor of drinking, racism and sexual violence.

Good.

While fraternities are not my cup of tea, why would you shut them down for everybody else?

Because they serve no useful purpose in modern society.

I found this Op/Ed on the situation and I think the author shares my views. This is a stupid story and, as the author states, the reaction is worse than the deed itself.


“Racist”. “Hate-speech”. “Offensive words.” “Offensive behaviour”.
...What the HELL is wrong with us, as a people? If somebody wants to be a racist, but is not otherwise infringing upon the rights, freedoms of others? Who gives a shit.
Liberty SHOULD be enough to quell the ‘outrage’. But it will not. Liberty will take a back seat to people looking to be special-enough as to be offended. It’s not only within race-relations – it’s with illnesses, tragedy, and victory.

Unfortunately, the response to this video is WORSE than the video. Happens all the time.

Agreed! Much like public universities in general!

This is a free speech issue. The university has now crossed a line and can and should be sued for millions for taking the punitive actions against those students.
Speech , even offensive speech is protected under the right of free speech..
Now that the university has expelled two students its liable under law for making those punitive actions.

I hope it is sued for at least 100 million dollars.
Some of us have had enough of this insanity, the blacks can say/sing nigger all day long but let a white say it and all hell comes down on that person. The blacks can also say white cracker, white Mofu, etc --nothing is ever off limits for them--ffing double standard doesn't cut it with me.
I just dont play that shit for anybody..

Sue the university and they win--open and shut case. --Tyr

Because their freedom of speech of less protected by the US Constitution than the FOS of blacks, jews Mulsims, et al. Must have missed that part where we are are equal and have the same rights.

Use your brain that you think is so special. That would be instead of Obama illogic. Y'all don't believe in anything nor listen to what that hypocritical liar says. You just vote "D" like good little sheep.

The Bill of Rights does NOT afford the PC leftwingnuts and Hannity to choose who is allowed to speak.
