The controversy in Oklahoma about the SAE Fraternity has spread nationwide. The video they made discriminating against African Americans has gone viral on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and so many other social media sites. CNN, ABC, KOCO, as well as many popular talk shows are talking about it.
Te video captured the Oklahoma University SAE Frat singing a song about how they would never befriend a "nigger". The Nation is calling it a deeply racist song. It was both offensive and frightening.
The ignorance of these men in the video is at an all time high. It is shocking that they would have such a song after the struggle our nation has gone through to outlaw discrimination. The United states has gone to war and many people have lost their lives and lost loved ones in order to be treated equally. It is almost as if the Frat was not even aware of the history.
“There will never be a nigger at SAE,” the students sang to the tune of “If You're Happy and You Know It” while dressed in formal attire and riding a bus. “You can hang him from a tree, but he'll never sign with me. There will never be a nigger at SAE.”
The University president has severed all ties with the SAE frat calling them "disgraceful". All of the frat residents were forced to vacate the house and leave campus. The University of Oklahoma is looking to explore legal actions.
This whole situation has me thinking that I will definitely train my son to be a better citizen. He will know our countries history and respect people of all race and color. I think more parents should train their children better so that we have a more accepting nation. Then and only then will we be able to call ourselves the nation of Liberty.
