A 9 second video of frat brothers from Sigma Alpha Epsilon were filmed chanting "there will never be a nigger at SAE". When the tape was posted to a national media outlet like Youtube the proverbial shit hit the fan. The frat brothers and their dates were traveling on a rented bus to attend the 150th celebration party for the frat.
University of Oklahoma President David Boren has acted swiftly and decisively by immediately expelling the 2 ring leaders that were caught on tape chanting about "no niggers at SAE" and about lynching them. President David Boren says there is a "zero tolerance" for such racist behavior at the University. He not only expelled the 2 ringleaders but the SAE frat has been kicked out of the University and the students ordered to leave within the next 24hrs as the building will be shuttered and closed on Tues evening. So all of the students living there packed up and moved out.
One of the expelled students gave a weak apology. "I am deeply sorry for what I did Saturday night. It was wrong and reckless. I made a horrible mistake by joining into the singing and encouraging others to do the same," Parker Rice said in a statement printed by the newspaper. He also claimed that he did this because he had been drinking. Yeah, blame it on the alcohol. So lame. Alcohol doesn't turn one into a racist. If you are an undercover racist, alcohol will allow your truth to come out when it takes away your inhibitions. That's why alcohol is sometimes called the truth serum.
I just want to say thank you to the University President David Boren for doing the right thing and getting rid of this racist group from his University and I hope that he expels every other student that was on that bus as well. Because they were all singing that chant. So in for a penny in for a pound, they ALL need to get expelled.
