A new video surfaced on Monday appearing to show the face of the man who led members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Oklahoma in a racist chant over the weekend.

CNN aired the video on Monday afternoon, just minutes after the university’s president held a news conference saying that individual members would be investigated over the incident.

An earlier recording of the incident that was posted online on Sunday didn’t show the face of the man leading the chant as clearly.

In both videos, members of the fraternity chapter could be heard chanting: “You can hang them from a tree, but they’ll never sign with me. There will never be a nigger at SAE.”

The national fraternity quickly suspended the chapter after the video came out and the university announced it would be kicking the fraternity off campus.

  2. But…but…this has to be a staged conspiracy, like the massacre at Sandy Hook, because, as we all know, racism in America does not exist anymore, according to Massa Great White Father John Roberts. It’s just those fucking libtards trying to make these sweet little creamy-white frat boys feel bad about their God-given right to hate the n***ers.
    But seriously, THIS is what Republican/Teabagger governance hath wrought. Open, blatant racism. They don’t even hide it anymore.

  3. They are absolutely proud - real nice folks huh?

  4. I don’t understand. What’s racist about that? I’m sure he apologizes if he offended anyone and is deeply sorry he was caught saying things that some people might construe as “racist.” Also, pray. He’s prayed about this, so all better.

  5. How long until FoxNews blames this on President Obama.
