    The real question is do they hold all frats or sororities responsible for their misconduct?

    I'm guessing not!

    You're assuming facts not in evidence. Before this incident, I had never even heard of the place so I don't pretend to know how they handle discipline within their Greek communities.

    No, spoken like someone who understands what freedom of speech actually means. Do you really think you can say anything you want to anyone you want and never suffer consequences?

    If your boss is Jewish, do you think you'd get away with calling him a damn k*** and still keep your job? Do you really think you could sue him for infringing on your "freedom of speech"? WTF?

    Uh, perhaps at the point in the lyrics where they did NOT volunteer to be hung from trees themselves?

    I notice that you omitted everything else in my post.

    I'm not sure, but didnt the supreme court established a precedent decades ago that speech which incites violence is not protected?

    Can anyone say anything they want as long as they try to cover it by the first amendment?

    You know what? The righties know they're being willfully ignorant. They just hope no one will notice.

    In what universe does any of that matter?

    Also, there are plenty on college campuses spewing anti-jew and anti-white nonsense.... Funny how you don't question them.

    Perhaps you're doing nothing but attempting to protect some and hate others???

    Yes and no, there some cases that have prevailed under that premise.

    But this particular incidence, no matter how despicable you and I think it was, will not pass that muster.

    Yeah right....

    Meanwhile progressive students are degrading jews across the country and demonizing white folks while they're at it.

    The problem here is progressives and their selective ideas.... Jews bad, whites bad, Muslims good, minorities good!

    An individual can be charged if their speech actually incited violence, however proving that is nearly impossible.

    In a universe where you are interested in thinking rather than just knee jerking.

    That wasn't the issue in this case. I would regard anyone engaging in such spewing as idiots.

    Sigh. I think the university over-reacted. I think they will lose in court, and I think they should. Hateful speech is still free speech, it did not represent a clear and present danger to anyone. Yes, I think it reflected an unfortunate attitude, but unfortunate attitudes shouldn't be handled like this was.

    They have college classes that teach that whites are a problem. You won't find these "progressives" complaining about it.

    Do you do ANYTHING besides chant dishonest but self-serving slogans? Degrading ANYONE is cause for concern. But you are simply tarring a label you don't understand, on the fictitious grounds that they don't hate the same people you do. Reality doesn't work like that.

    You're the one that is knee jerking here..... I'm talking law and you're obsessed with "racism."

    Oh that is a massive issue in this case - especially at said university (where the real meat is).

    Of course they will lose - this frat was singled out for PC reasons.

    It's blatant discrimination.

    Oh I understand - I understand that discrimination is tolerated when it fits within the progressive worldview.

    Do you not understand how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing bat(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy hardcore progressives are?

    You're not against racism - you're against racism and bias against certain groups, however you're more than willing to dish it out when a jew or white dude calls bull(*)(*)(*)(*).

    News.

    Yeah I know "Think Progress" or even the MSM won't cover any of the anti-jew (*)(*)(*)(*) that is going on.... And white guilt is mainstream in progressive circles.

    Why don't you go read about it.

    Where are you getting this "progressives hate jews" BS?

    You've lost all credibility saying that crap.

    I'm not so sure. It sure would be nice to be able to discuss it intelligently without all the reactionary clowns chiming in though.

    Generally, this sort of nonsense is indoctrinated in early childhood. It's one of Piaget's stages, a period during which learning becomes hardwired in the neural networks and cannot be altered later in life. I think there is a physiological age when one becomes capable of reasoning rather than internalizing Received Truth, but by that age much that's important is indelible. The Jesuits know what they're saying when they say "Give me the boy until age 6, and I'll give you the man." Here, we have the man.

    Yes except university of Oklahoma is a publicly funded government controlled entity. A good lawyer can argue that that the state of okalahoma is punishing these boys in violation of 1a. I do agree that you are not free of repercussion of the things you say and do. However in this case their is legal precedent

    This is true. State schools dont have nearly the flexibility of private schools in such matters.

    Look at your bull(*)(*)(*)(*)....

    I'm not even a Jew..... However I recognize progressive "selectiveness" when it comes to who they side with ...

    Your (*)(*)(*)(*) is ironic for you.
