Last night a video of white college students in Oklahoma University’s SAE fraternity doing a racist chant sent ripples through the college community. The fraternity has been completely disbanded and this morning many students and OU football players showed up on campus to protest the fact that such racism on a college campus still even exists.
No one was more upset and heartbroken by SAE’s racist video that OU linebacker Eric Striker, who unleashed this expletive-filled rant on Snapchat late last night:
He has more than a point: All those fraternity guys on that bus probably loved him and “hug him” on game days in the fall, yet are racist behind closed doors. That’s the very definition of being “phony-ass, fraud-ass bitches.”
Here are some more scenes from this morning’s protests:
