Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) host of The Young Turks discusses the shutting down of an University of Oklahoma fraternity over their release of a racist video.
“The fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been officially disavowed and disowned by the University of Oklahoma due to the release of a video that many are calling full of racism and other hate speech. Several students took it one step further and began holding protests calling for the expulsion of the students in the video.
Social media also exploded with opinions and hate speech on both sides of the issue, some calling it just a prank bro, while others saw it as students that got caught and are trying to get out of punishments for their actions. Official spokespersons for the Sigma Alpha Epsilon stated that the video and fraternity in question did not reflect their views. The SAE has over fifteen thousand members nationwide.”
Did the University go too far, or not far enough? Let us know what you think in the comments.
