Did the racist chant story at OU really deserve to be the LEAD story on "Today" this morning?

Also just saw footage of the house mother singing a song that included the "N" word and then footage of her saying she's all sorts of heartbroken over this.

Good news - two students expelled.

- but it was a bus full that were singing.

Edited to add - the univ president's letter said they were expelled because the led the chant.

Of course it did. It's NBC isn't it ? Those assholes dote on shit like that but they won't mention Princeton University with it's additional 250 points added to Negro SAT scores, 170 added to Hispanic scores and -50 subtracted from Asian scores. Who needs to know that bullshit?

There is nothing wrong in being proud of your race, especially if you're White.

You're not allowed to say that.

Get a tan and say it....

Not condoning what these kids did, but every time there's the slightest bit of racism towards blacks the media overreacts. We saw it with Donald Sterling, we saw it with Paula Deen. Enough already.

But when the racism is the other way the story is buried as with the story that colleges routinely award blacks 230 bonus points on their SAT.

It's pretty insane when thousands of black on White rapes/murders go ignored by the media but this story gets national coverage.

Tell us, will reporting black on white rapes reduce the number of rapes?

Now tell us whether the reporting of the OU racism will reduce the number of frats that do what they did?

Question 1 Nope, but it would be more honest and relevant to society than turning a frat prank into national news.

Question 2 I hope not! There should be a nation wide concensus to eliminate Affirmative Action. Adjusting SAT scores by race?

Damn! What's the opposite of Jim Crow?

Jim Swan. That's the era we live in. Whites are persecuted everywhere and all the time. Of course we still do all right because we have ability.

Oh, but blacks don't have the ability??? Was it you or one of your other idiot buddies who was saying that women make good social workers and english teachers, but fail in a job where they have to think?

It was the front page, top story headline on my internet news source, too. An ancillary, adjunct organization of a college gets top bill over the completely ignored story of the blatant racism of a public high school principal in Chicago. No left wing bias there, eh?

 

[JoeMoma]

The chant was definitely racist and in terrible taste. However, should the two students be expelled for the racists chant? In today's society, making a racist remark has become an unforgivable sin, or at least so it seems.

All the evidence says blacks are mentally inferior. Why else do they do so poorly on all standardized tests? And why can't Africa get out of the stone age? THINK
