The South terrifies me. I know there is racism everywhere, but there's a really gross combination of overtness, and Southern politeness, that freaks me out.

Oklahoma isn't the South. Are you foreign or just really, really stupid?

Oklahoma is "fringe South," but it's absolutely the South.

The fraternity had a Confederate flag hanging, that could be seen outside. At the very least there's a large "Southern Wannabe" culture in much of Oklahoma.

...one chant that will likely not only be stricken from the dumbasses at Oklahoma University's SAE chapter, but will also likely get their frat stricken from campus—if the video is proven to show members of the alleged OU-affiliated chapter. Someone on the bus filmed these entitled, ignorant dumbos-in-blazers gleefully chant the following on their way to a black-tie event:

“There will never be a n***er SAE.
There will never be a n***er SAE.
You can hang ‘em from a tree,
But they’ll never [inaudible] with me.
There will never be a n***er SAE.”
I thought this was post racial america. And then the klan was leaving fliers in Selma.

Did you really?

The song is, sadly, not that surprising to me. But for my family, adults with the power to make major decisions whether by voting or hiring or deciding who to rent to, who believe that we live in a "post racial society" have much more ability to hurt me and my (AA) family than some immature frat boys in Oklahoma.

Who do you think they grow up to be???

Fox News pundits, GOP politicians.

The one on the bottom left looks like a young Tucker Carlson.

The guy in the forefront looks like George Allen. *shudder*

Reprehensible song, but stop with the double-standard on that word please.

Totally agree.

Yes because AAs are the ones who created the word and are responsible for whites using it to degrade them. GTFOWTBS!

Since you are an ignorant fool, you do realize that black didn't invent this word right? It was invented by slave owners. Did you go to school past 2nd grade?

It was sarcasm you nut, I am a black person who is multi-degreed. The first is in HISTORY!

Oklahoma is in the south, based on the fact that 10-20% of respondents in some survey said so?

OK is not in the south.

Can we change this conversation to talk about how awesome their university president is?

Lol
Seriously. If anything this confirms it's NOT the south. I stand corrected as well- I said it was the Midwest. It is evidently the Great Plains. BUT NOT THE SOUTH.

AA here. Of course the students can exercise their free speech rights. I have no problem with that. They have no fear of being arrested or charged with any crime. The other consequences are not protected by the constitution.

You know that, right? There's always at least one idiot screaming "free speech" when these situations come up.

that is naive. I'm a white male in my 40s. When I was in my early 20s, all of my favorite songs and movies were littered with the N word. Talking about Snoop, Dre, NWA, Cube for music. Maybe some Ghetto Boys and Bushwhack Bill. And for movies - maybe Pulp Fiction, etc.

It was a huge part of my vocabulary only because I mimicked what I heard constantly.

Then you were an idiot. I am of your generation, had these same cultural influences, but still had the common sense to know that I could not appropriate that pattern of speech.

But yet, everyday, there are videos, Worldstar HipHop, of black youths attacking white people, doing drugs, bragging about cheating EBT cards, fathering kids, etc., but that is untouchable because...?

These kids made mistake. These kids' parents are probably pretty sick of paying full tuition to support diversity, which equates to a bunch of criminals going to college to start lawsuits. You watch at how the school will get sued in the coming weeks.

Yes all those black people, no consequences for them. That explains why our prison population is so heavily white. Oh wait, never mind.

Oklahoma was a slave state. It is South of the Mason Dixon line. Like Texas. Not The South East coast, but culturally, it's South to me.

Oklahoma was Indian territory at the time of the Civil War. If it had been a state, would it have been Confederate or Union? What do you think????

I'm baffled that any white person in our generation thinks it's ok to use the n-word.

It's somewhat similar (thought I think to a lesser degree, without or at least with a different kind of history) to women using terms like 'bitches.' Women referring to their friends as 'my bitches' may be a bit tasteless, but it's FAR more ok to for women to use it in a positive sense, regarding themselves, than men referring to women as bitches.

The degree is different and I don't mean to compare the term "bitch" to the n-word, but I think it's in a somewhat similar vein.

In general, people adopt derogatory terms used about their own group all the time, and try and "own" the term themselves in large part to reconfigure the power of the word, and take back at least part of the definition.

Because they feel deeply inadequate in all aspects of life.
