(The Washington Post)—A video of racist chant by men alleged to be fraternity brothers at the University of Oklahoma has brought widespread condemnation and the fraternity’s suspension.
The 10-second video features men said to be members of the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE). Though the words are not all intelligible, the chant appears to be: “There will never be a n—r SAE/There will never be a n—r SAE/You can hang ‘em from a tree, but it will never start with me/There will never be a n—r SAE.”
Early Monday, the fraternity’s national organization said the University of Oklahoma’s chapter would be suspended.
