Absolutely. About fainted from overwhelming outpouring of emotions. UNC fan about 3 rows down looked around, I'll never forget his expression, like "WTF is going on here and should I flee?"Originally posted by wildcat1973:

-Like I said earlier, yeah we all did dumb things. Like drink and drive and had we been caught there would have been repercussions. Just like if you're singing a racist song and it causes a national outrage. Someone was taking the brunt. That's life. Yes, murder and manslaughter is worse. Great comparison.
No, I suggest he get his teeth kicked in. Idgaf about the law, or whatever. Who cares? This dude is a bad human. Period. World will be much better generations from now when these ******** are bred out of society.
And I dont' care about the media stuff either. That's almost as deplorable, imho.
Fact is people like this ******* still exist, but the media and the people like to pretend it doesn't because that's what we teach the kids. OHHHH RACISM ENDED WHEN LINCOLND FREED THE SLAVES. THAT WAS SOOOOOO LONG AGO. It's ridiculous. We make light of a very serious situation. Any time this ugly **** gets put in the spotlight is wonderful. It's progress.
Dude deserves to live his life. Dude deserves to get an education if he wants. He can have a wife and children. He can fly a rebel flag if he wants, but he deserves to pay for this ****...as does his fraternity. Did they freestyle this song? Just make it up on the spot?
The punishment isn't the issue here. Again, wgaf, especially at a university where they can expel you for drinking alcohol. It's the fact that this junk still goes on, and the fact that many important people like to pretend that it doesn't. Progress will be slow, no doubt, just based on nature, but progress is still progress. Weed these people out. They don't deserve the entitlement.
If it had just been the "N" word, kid would still be at OU.
"Hang them from a tree" kind of changed the whole context of the song. That's pretty bad.

Welp, thank god ole Parker is outta here. Pretty much clears out the entire racist population at OU.
/whew
Well, I don't know WTF you were doing in college, but neither I nor anyone in my frat sang a gd song about lynching black people and dropping N-Bombs left right, celebrating our racism with glee.
What's worse than that? Assault, rape? Yeah, never did that either. Cheating? Nope.
What exactly were you doing (hundreds of times) that was just as bad? Sorry, but I don't consider underage drinking BS frat fights or consensual hook ups as "unspeakable".
I don't know if this is expulsion worthy, but I certainly don't mind that he's expelled. It's not like he can show his face on campus anyway.
Jesus, man. Calm down. While I don't give a **** if he gets kicked out I think we've gone a little overboard here.
The damage for him is done. He was being an idiot. Case closed.
Add "on camera" and you're 100% correct. These damn kids today and their need to record every aspect of their lives. I'm surprised something like this hasn't already happened. How many times do you think a questionable song like that has been sung on a party/frat bus in the South? Hundreds? Thousands?
Is he for sure already expelled? I'd be surprised... Usually you have to have some type of precedent on your campus for a punishment... there is also due process that the student has a right to defend himself. Public college can't just expel a kid without allowing him the chance to go through a conduct process.
If they've always expelled students for racist commentary, then nobody should take issue with it (after he has the opportunity to go through a campus hearing). But if its been ignored in the past, or students would only be slightly reprimanded- and now all of the sudden the punishment changes that drastically- you set a standard that must be again used the next time it happens.
So a student made terrible and explicit comments- but nobody was specifically harmed or threatened- and nobody was put in danger. The comments were obviously disgusting- Nobody is objecting to that. But now if racial slur=expulsion, the school will be bound to responding the same way in the future.

Little Miss just under Parker's arm. She could easily be in the spotlight. What about the guy/girl who filmed the video? Or the other 50 people on the bus? Should they all be expelled?
I mean, okay Dennis. You went to UVA, but here's the reality for those who didn't attend UK...
It's comprised of a lot of kids from all over a poor white state who bring with them different experiences and archaic beliefs from a lot of different regions. Add peers, alcohol, and limited outside influence and ugly things do manifest. So, yea, I saw and heard a lot of things and they weren't exclusive to any fraternity or club. TMFS.

Oh wow, hadn't heard this one. I guess the Cornell SAEs really were serious about the song. Yikes.

I'm sure UVa had plenty of rape sing-alongs - on account of all the rape there - so no one is innocent here.
Not sure but last night they were talking about her alleged sorority (Tri Delt) already distancing themselves from her.
* Good to see GYERO working on being the moral compass for the world these days.
* On that note, I can't remember what news agency wrote it, but there was a good article about the aftermath of that PR gal who made the AIDS joke on Twitter while on a biz trip to South Africa. Did a pretty good follow up on the whole gang up mentality of social media goes these days.
* Austin Kendall de-commit from UT. Landing that type of recruit is about the only thing that can hold a class together over the span of 10 months. Need to get him on board and recruiting with the quickness.
I think 20-year olds are sometimes irreverent for the sake of being irreverent. And that's what SAE and others were trying to say about this guy, who we know nothing about other than the 15 seconds we have on tape. The overreaction is stunning. He could have gotten behind the wheel drunk and killed a family of five and not faced this sort of outrage.
How bad has it gotten? There was a girl in the video who was allegedly clapping along with the song. She is now being investigated by the school and her sorority.
We had some tunes that some people would find offensive, (particularly the SAE's and their mothers) but we never sang any songs about lynching black people or gleefully celebrating racism. That's a big ole Turbo false.
That chant on that video was something that was well and widely known to that group. Definitely not the first time it was sung.
I think what pti and Bbdk are referring too was typical college/frat guy hijinks that if caught on camera, would look bad.
I like how Brooks refers to himself as a soft white kid.
Anyways, moving on.

Yes, anyone who was in a fraternity is "silver spooned."
I was "silver spooned" because I used my student loans to pay the $2,000 a year (or whatever it was at the time) to pay membership dues. I was also "silver spooned" because I chose to go to college. Yeah man, my dad was a high school basketball coach/teacher and my mom was a social worker. We were loaded.
Good Lord what a stupid opinion.
There was a guy in my FRATernity that took a dump in a plastic bag, then put it under another guy's door handle to his car. Then we watched the guy open his car. He was pissed. It was pretty funny.
That would be a viral video today with little outrage I think.

He (they) feel entitled to look down upon other people because of their skin color. He (they) thinks it's funny.Originally posted by SAECATFAN:
Corporal punishment for singing a song... AMERICA!
Doesn't deserve the entitlement? What entitlement? That he has parents who sent him to college?
Not that difficult.
Bet you go to church, too.
Agree. But the same university allowed Bob Stoops to accept Dorial Green-Beckham.
I agree with all the comments that the dude is a complete jackass, but expelled for saying something stupid seems over the top excessive relative to other things. Saying the N-word: outta here! Beating a girl: made a mistake!
Anybody who has been in a frat knows those kids have been saying that **** since their big brother taught it to them. The thing I have a problem with is this one kid is taking all the heat for the busload of racists. SAE is closing the chapter(washing their hands of the problem hoping it will just go away) and that kids life is ruined . Hell, If I am not mistaken Barbie was clapping right along with their nonsense.
If you lived ,at all, in college you did some extremely dumb ****. It would be embarrassing if it were caught on video. However, you would have never caught the large majority of us saying **** like that. The young/dumb argument doesn't work. Young people don't sing chants like that, racists do.

My original thought when someone said Parker was getting kicked out of school was why is he being singled out?? There were at least a dozen other people on the bus singing the song. It wasnt a freaking solo, the person recording just happened to be by the kid. I guess they need to expel every person that was on that bus that was a member of the frat.
Yep, that's the sick part.
ISOLATED INCIDENT!! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
That's how most old people act about this stuff because they can't deal with this **** for whatever reasons. Wish I understood. Can't imagine how mind-touching that is, or even for you not so old people who have might have enjoyed racist white traditions with your peers in college. It's got to hurt your brain a bit.
