University of Oklahoma Frat sings 'There will never be a nigger in SAE'

You know that nothing is safe in Oklahoma.

The tea is some frat at the University of Oklahoma has a video of them singing a racist song. Oh, and the video has gone viral, here's more:

According to Tulsa World, the national president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity said Sunday evening that the OU SAE chapter has been given an immediate cease and desist order just hours after the video appeared online.

In the brief video, posted on Twitter by a group of black students called OU_Unheard, the frat brothers can be heard singing and clapping along to a song with the repeated lyrics of “There will never be a n****r SAE,” along with a line about lynching, “You can hang them from a tree (inaudible)”.

WATCH


The school is investigating the video to see if this is actually from SAE. Till then, we will be watching.

UPDATE the chapter is closed

Murray State Professor Resigns after making Racist Remarks


Remember the other day, when I posted the clip about the Murray State professor and his racist remark to a student?

Well, he resigned...
Mark Wattier, the Murray State Professor who was suspended without pay after he allegedly made racist remarks to a couple of students in August, is resigning.
In an email statement, he said that one reason he appealed the suspension was so that he could express his regret and apologize to Arlene Johnson, who filed a complaint with the Office of Equal Opportunity at the school. Wattier included a doctor's diagnosis for depression and generalized anxiety disorder, which he says he was battling at the time.


He is also appealing because he claims that only the Board of Regents can suspend someone for more than 30 days. However, Catherine Sivills, Assistant Vice-President of Communications for MSU, say that OEO grievance procedures supersede any other grievance mechanism, so the Board of Regents' decision would be irrelevant. Wattier says that's not true, and that any employer that would treat someone this way doesn't deserve that person's labor.


The student has said that Wattier started class early last semester and she questioned him about it after the class, for which she had arrived on time. The student says Wattier responded by saying slaves never showed up on time.
My friends tell me they are still hurt about this incident. They never thought that a professor would lose it so badly and publicly.

Great Hera! Racism in the Classrooms of Murray State

What is really going on in my alma mater?

Interesting! Throughout my undergrad and grad years at Murray State, I never experienced something like that. How could a teacher say something like that? What an asshole!

Is Lady Gaga's New single Racist? Some Folks think so


This particular piece of Lady Gaga's song has some groups upset, see here...
 "No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I`m on the right track, baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I`m on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave"
 Interesting... Robert Paul Reyes from theSOP had this to say...


Organizations like Chicanos Unidos Arizona and MEChA do not like Lady Gaga`s use of the words `Chola` and `Orient` in her lyrics, viewing both as being racist and derogatory.
The word chola according to the critics refers to Latina girls in gangs, Latinas from the barrio who have a certain look about them and conjure very negative stereotypes."
.... 
As an Hispanic liberal who has been writing essays supporting gay rights for twelve years, I agree with the pro-gay sentiments of this song. But just because a song has life-affirming lyrics it doesn`t necessarily means it`s a great work of art. Lady Gaga`s new single has no subtlety or nuance, it sounds like something that a beauty queen who yearns for world peace would write.
Are Latinos supposed to be grateful that a white superstar, born of privilege, included a racist shout out to our community? Not all Latino ladies are "cholas" in the barrio, some of them are teachers, writers, engineers and nurses and doctors.

Don`t waste your hard-earned money downloading "Born This Way", if you want to hear a great song with great lyrics give Christina Aguilera`s "Beautiful" a spin.

Lady Gaga should apologize to Hispanics, Christina Aguilera, Carl Bean and pop music fans for her execrable song, and she should immediately pull her song from the market.
Wow, he is no joke. I wonder if Lady G, will change the lyrics?

Racequake in a NJ Wal-Mart



Foolishness in Wal-Mart... no, not the fashion of the shoppers, I mean this:
A Walmart store announcement ordering black people to leave brought chagrin and apologies Wednesday from leaders of the company, which has built a fragile trust among minority communities.

A male voice came over the public-address system Sunday evening at a store in Washington Township, in southern New Jersey, and calmly announced: "Attention, Walmart customers: All black people, leave the store now."

Shoppers in the store at the time said a manager quickly got on the public-address system and apologized for the remark. And while it was unclear whether a rogue patron or an employee was responsible for the comment, many customers expressed their anger to store management.

That's not cute, but the Wal-Mart quickly responded:

"We are just as appalled by this incident as our customers," the company said in a statement. "Whoever did this is just wrong and acted in an inappropriate manner. Clearly, this is completely unacceptable to us and to our customers."

If nobody comes clean in 48 hours, hold everybody's (who was working that shift) paycheck!

Just kidding... a little bit.

Interesting Quote(s): John Mayer


On Jessica Simpson:
That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren't good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me... Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm...


There are people in the world who have the power to change our values. Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life? Did you ever say, "I want to quit my life and just fuckin' snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to fuck you, I would start selling all my shit just to keep fucking you."

On dating Black women:

I don't think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a fuckin' David Duke cock. I'm going to start dating separately from my dick.

Being liked by Black fans:

Someone asked me the other day, "What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?" And by the way, it's sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, "I can't really have a hood pass. I've never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, 'We're full.'"

Interesting Quote: Harry Reid


I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments.

I was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama during the campaign and have worked as hard as I can to advance President Obama’s legislative agenda.

Moreover, throughout my career, from efforts to integrate the Las Vegas strip and the gaming industry to opposing radical judges and promoting diversity in the Senate, I have worked hard to advance issues important to African American community.
This is his apology after a 2008 statement came to light. He said that Obama could be the country’s first black president because he was “light-skinned” and had “no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”
