….There Will Never Be A N—ER SAE
SAE Fraternity of Oklahoma University has shown its ‘ugly head’ for all to see. In a newly released video [courtesy of OU’s unheard group] a fraternity group issues anti-black chant, which resulted in the entire fraternity getting banned from campus. Their message was clear, ‘NO N—ERS’ will be allowed in their fraternity.
I’m tired of saying how SHOCK, and APPALLED I am when I hear or witness such actions. What Is The Resolve? These students should receive a bigger penalty and be expelled from the school.
Oklahoma University President, Brad Cohen says the groups actions are appalling and they will be dealt with.
I know I speak for all when I say I’m disgusted and shocked by the video involving our @sae1856 chapter at Uof OK. They will be dealt with.

@sae1856 does not condone any of behavior we saw at OU. I’m sickened by their behavior & hurt for our African American members & community

Sigma Alpha Epsilon chef, Howard Dixon, released the video and now stands to lose his job. On Mon [March. 10th] Blake Burkhart started a crowdfunding page for Dixon who now has to look for another job in light of this incident. So far, the page has raised more than ten thousand [1o,oo] dollars.
The pubic outrage continues with many people calling out the University. Reportedly, two students [shown on the video] have been expelled from school. Cohen asks for trust and calm. He wrote the following on his facebook page.
The video surfaces just two days after the 50th anniversary of the Selma March for voting rights. As Obama’s stated in his recent public speech there are other ways to ‘triumph’ over the ignorant minds. Take a read of his brief excerpt below:
” In one afternoon fifty years ago, so much of our turbulent history – the stain of slavery and anguish of civil war; the yoke of segregation and tyranny of Jim Crow; the death of four little girls in Birmingham, and the dream of a Baptist preacher – met on this bridge.
It was not a clash of armies, but a clash of wills; a contest to determine the meaning of America. And because of men and women like John Lewis, Joseph Lowery, Hosea Williams, Amelia Boynton, Diane Nash, Ralph Abernathy, C.T. Vivian, Andrew Young, Fred Shuttleworth, Dr. King, and so many more, the idea of a just America, a fair America, an inclusive America, a generous America – that idea ultimately triumphed.
As is true across the landscape of American history, we cannot examine this moment in isolation. The march on Selma was part of a broader campaign that spanned generations; the leaders that day are part of a long line of heroes. “
Will be watching to see if SAE closes it chapter’s at Oklahoma University for good!
