Obviously they haven't said anything because they support their action. It's a serious problem with whites, they are either racist themselves or they implicitly support racism. They really just need to be wiped out! Give them a free show to Jeff foxworthy and then just glass the whole place.

/s

I guess it was those two black people on the bus who sent the videos to the black student group.

Are you an idiot in real life or do you just play one on the internet?

A conservative in 1968; "It's no longer 1921!".

Address the issue. There is still, in 2015, the virulent, lingering effects of black racism, and it's simply well accepted history at this point. There isn't a liberal or conservative or other ideological framework needed to understand said institutional racism. For those intellectually curious enough to care, documented history is exquisitely clear.

But hey, I suppose it's a massive conspiracy that 90% of blacks vote Democrat. They must be out of their mind! lol

Sorry, but for those who think we're a hair's breadth away from a return to Jim Crow, history is apparently completely opaque.

You'll never cease to be dumbfounded by what some people on AT say; it can be found in any sub forum but has it's greatest concentration in P&N.

SAE frat boys, what a bunch of maroons.

Anyone can say anything on the internet if they're anonymous. There was an interesting anthropological study that found humans are happiest if they live in villages of ~150 people that you see on a daily basis, because if someone fucks up everyone knows it and they'll hold you accountable in some way. So it can create a very socially harmonious atmosphere. Hard to be an idiot when 150 people you interact with daily will think you're an idiot.

The internet is the exact opposite of that. The whole world can hate you and you'll still suffer no consequences if you're anonymous, so the worse parts of peoples' natures aren't held in line. That frat bus is also an example.

It also doesn't help that we don't have our natural queues to disengage. If some bigot starting spouting crap in our face at Starbucks, if we couldn't get him to shut up we would just leave. But here on our computers a lot of us are in the comfort of our own homes at the end of the day. There's nowhere better to go, and when everyone's behind avatars it's easy to wrongly assign status to someone who doesn't deserve it.

In any case, I image most people with half a brain understand that racism is dying in the US. Is it still a problem that needs to be addressed? Sure. But we've come a long way from voting rights, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, police dogs and fire hoses, not to mention slavery.

Case in point, those SAE morons. They were dealt with appropriately and promptly in one of the most conservative states in the Union. You think that would have happened even 30 years ago? Of course, 30 years ago it would have been an unsubstantiated rumor as opposed to an undeniable video.

But that isn't going to stop people from playing Nostradamus and crowing about how huge this lone frat bus is to anyone who will listen. Righteousness always feels good, weather it's accurate or not.

I agree we have made great progress but I don't understand the Nostradamus reference, nor do I think there's any question that righteousness is "accurate" (I would use the word appropriate instead) in this case. What does Nostradamus have to do with this?

Yeah, that reference wasn't that clear. I was just talking about people who blow this out of proportion by saying it's a sign that racism is still prevalent or on the rise, I've seen the term "symptom of a virulent disease" bandied about on a few sites. Nostradamus is famous in part for "predicting" a ton of disasters that when looked at rationally appear to be bullshit, so that's where I was going with the reference.

The righteousness is accurate in this case, but too many people get caught up in how great it feels to be righteous and don't want it to end, so they start spinning bullshit to feed their high.

That was bus going to date night, frat & sorority hence the girls.
The recorder is a sorority girl & originally passed it around on facebook. Some1 black saw it and well now its on youtube.

Also, SAE singing this exact song has come up before down in UT Austin. There's even a reddit thread about it about a month old.

I remember one time I was on a bus in college, going to the local mall.

I heard some black girls on the bus. One of them was chastising the other for "talking white". Yeah, like it's somehow a disgrace for a person of African-American descent to speak in proper English. To think that they were in college, even.
and this relates to the OP because....


It relates because you need to ask the question why that is so and why the violent thug culture mentality has encompassed black America, and it has to do with this man.

This man proved that the black man was just as capable when it came to acting and dressing professionally, speaking just as eloquently, behaving just as respectfully as any white person, and by doing so negating the racist stereotype that the black person was a lower human being, incapable of behaving more than an animal.

Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's success with nonviolent activism, King had "for a long time...wanted to take a trip to India".[40] With assistance from the Quaker group the American Friends Service Committee, he was able to make the journey in April 1959.[41]

The trip to India affected King, deepening his understanding of nonviolent resistance and his commitment to America's struggle for civil rights. In a radio address made during his final evening in India, King reflected,

"Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity".
That last quote in bold scared the white LIBERAL establishment the most, because if it continued that way they will eventually have to deal with black people on an equal level, and they couldn't have none of that now could they.

So they broke up the black family, hooked them on drugs, corralled them in projects "for their own good", made them dependent on government more and more, promoted the seeds through the liberal media that is now the gangsta thug type music/culture as being cool along with the violent nature it promoted, in effect creating a divide that self promotes perpetual racism.

Lyndon Baines Johnson 1963... "These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them ******s voting Democratic for the next two hundred years".

This may help you when you decide to post in the future.

I'm assuming that must be part of the frat tradition, sort of how people fly the confederate flag as "souther pride thing". Unwise on all fronts.

I see no reason to call this "false rage," just because the fraternity has dealt with it appropriately. I frankly find it pretty sickening that in 2015 a bus full of college-age kids would be singing a song like this, and it's certainly a reminder that we are far from finished dealing with racism in this country. I don't see this as a cosmic piece of news but I do see it as newsworthy. I do appreciate the frat's dealing with it swiftly, in any event.

I'm not the slightest bit surprised about southern fraternity boys acting like complete idiots. Isn't that why they form those little clubs? To create a critical mass of appalling behavior?

I always hear racism is equal on both sides. I hold up a premise which has yet to be refuted...

Name one prominent Democrat in the last 10 years who has disparaged a prominent Republican solely on the basis of them being white. The internet is littered with the opposite.

Examples please?

How many more years is it going to take to wipe this kind of shit off our ass? Glad to see the swift response though...this is a good, high visibility learning opportunity.

It would have been impossible to pull off but I would have respected the effort. I would especially have appreciated a non-apology-apology or an "if anyone was offended" apology.

e.g:Singing these songs is part of a long standing tradition at SAE and isn't intended to be racist or insensitive to anyone. If anyone was offended, we sincerely apologize.
