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.

They do have their formal attire on... The lead guy appears to be foaming at the mouth.
I'm sure his parents are proud.
We should give all those kids free DNA ancestry tests.

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

I love this argument. It's usually from people who are upset that they cannot use the word. PP, why do you care who gets to use the word? It's wrong and unless you are dying to use it, it shouldn't concern you. Let idiots be idiots and go on with your life. But, if you really want to use it, I give you my permission. Just be willing to pay the consequences. Your free speech rights are protected so that means you won't get arrested. Anything else that happens is fair game

Right... although I do not use it, the PP should feel free to use it as they see fit. And when they are on the verge of getting their teeth knocked out, they should state that they thought it was Ok because they heard some AA's use it with each other. I am sure the person getting ready to kick her butt will see the merit of that argument.

Does anyone monitor the hate speech of black youths with similar intensity or do we only play "gotcha" with white boys these days?

Only whites can be racist

To clarify (though I am not the PP) --

Anybody can hate anybody.
Anybody can be bigoted against anybody.
Anybody can be racist against minorities.
There is no such thing as racism against whites.

I am so glad someone else posted this. I always feel like I'm the only one explaining the differences between racism, prejudice, and discrimination.

Chase yourself in definitional circles as long as you wish, but anyone who is honest knows there is racism, prejudica and discrimination against whites by some non-whites.

There is a very sad blurb in this Sunday's NYT magazine about a black woman who does consulting. Everything goes well until she meets the potential client, and then she often doesn't get the work. She asked how she could signal to the potential client that she was black so that she didn't waste her time meeting people who wouldn't hire her because of race.

Sadly, the NYT writer told her that he had a gay client who would often state that he did pro bono work for various gay organizations and that she might do the same. When potential clients read her Linked In or CV, they would see this info and decide upfront whether they wanted to proceed.

No, not post racial at all. Really hideous.

Garbage. I'd pull my kid home so fast (and worse) if he were one of these idiots.

The lesson here is that it's not fair that white people don't get to use the word but black people do? Really?

Well is it a bad word or not?

This is not about you. Please don't make it about you.

I agree. This is not the focus. But, right or wrong, people will continue to bring this up. And, people could eliminate the argument (and they should)by eliminating all use of the word. So, unfortunately, until that happens you will hear this from some people.

Op here. The chant included references to lynching. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this is wholly unacceptable.

Yeah, SAE were pretty bad in Pittsburg as well.

...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.

Only fools used that mantra.

No one in The South would consider OK southern under any circumstances.
