[DemocratSinceBirth]

WARNING -THE VIDEO CONTAINS THE N WORD AND IS OFFENSIVE


Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national headquarters closed its chapter at the University of Oklahoma Sunday after a video emerged purportedly showing members of the chapter singing a racist chant.

The video quickly gained visibility online. It was obtained and posted to Twitter by Unheard, which describes itself as "an alliance of black students organized for change within campus administration and atmosphere." The video shows young men on a bus chanting, "There will never be a n----r at SAE."

The tweet, directed at OU president David Boren, said "Racism is alive at The University of Oklahoma."

Students at the university planned to demonstrate on the Norman, Oklahoma, campus at 7:30 a.m. local time. A prayer vigil was held Sunday night.

The frat house was vandalized overnight, defaced with graffiti.

1. From Wikipedia...

"Sigma Alpha Epsilon (???, also SAE) is the largest[citation needed] North American Greek-letter social college fraternity. It was founded at the University of Alabama on March 9, 1856. Of all existing national social fraternities today, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is the only one founded in the Antebellum South. Its national headquarters, the Levere Memorial Temple, was established on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1929."

3. Well, they are correct.

But, then, there will never be any more SAE members at Norman, regardless of color.
