Sigma Alpha Epilson brothers of University of Oklahoma (@uofoklahoma) caught on tape singing the follow chant lyrics:
?
"There will never be a nigger at #SAE
There will never be a nigger at #SAE
You can hang'em from a tree,
but they'll never sign with me.
There will never be a nigger at #SAE
Meanwhile their Non-Description Policy reads: The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, age or physical or mental disability, religion, marital status, military status, order of protection status and unfavorable military discharge. It's been said the chapter is under investigation (@uofoklahoma).

The fact that I find this utterly unsurprising is really depressing. :(

I think that is protected speech. First amendment.

The First Amendment guarantees your right to say whatever stupid sh$t you want to say. It does not and will never keep you from having to deal with consequences of saying awful things.

The place was shut down as soon as the story broke. Whats more amazing is that the only cook in that building was a black man and according to him, he considered them family....I am assuming based on how they treated him. Now he is out of a job and leaving on donations from well wishers. Whats interesting is that this issue seem to be a theme among most of these fraternities. One was even hanging that confederate flag in its dorm room in clear view of the public and no one in the whole campus ever brought it up. To me shutting them down, is like putting lipstick on a pig....the root of the problem has to be addressed nationwide in these fraternities or disband all. Such blatant acts of bigotry have until recently mostly been done in private and I really expected it from much older white folks, but college kids, with all the exposure and the increased diversity, in 2015 on broad daylight.......I was speechless.

Sad but true, these racists who hate asians, blacks and latinos will end up in positions of power where they will have the ability to affect thousands of lives, including people they would have hanged on a tree.
I will post more after our breakfast. We landed in Chicago last night and planning to go to Willis tower aka Skydeck today (tallest building in United States formerly known as Sears tower).
It's 63 fahrenheit (17.2 celsius) today in Chicago :D

Mya, getting back to you beautiful. It's a little disturbing to see such swift action on members that were not involved? An innocent cook is being evicted without notice.
Having "collectively" punishment for the actions of others kind of infuriates me. Well, it is what it is.
At least a fundraising account has been set up by a former member of the fraternity to cover the cook’s expenses while he looks for a new job.
Mya, we are getting ready to catch the Chicago metra train to downtown :D
