Racism has been condoned at the University of Alabama as all-white sororities win their fight to ban black students from applying.
A group of 27 student senators blocked a bill to fully integrate fraternities at the establishment from reaching a public vote, with just five in favour, and two abstentions.
It has sparked outrage as critics blast the 'backwards' state of student societies more than half a century after the university first granted black students entry.

Freedom has a price for some.


The black frat & soror, don't let white people apply. Never have.
They are private associations. They get no federal, state, or local tax dollars.
It is not a business.


The right to assemble, is a valuable right to have. It is not a privilege.

Freedom of association. The alternative is having a gun wielding entity ( government) telling you who you must associate with.

What does "fully integrate" mean? Your article didn't clarify what the resolution was suppose to do... I am still confused as to what any of it means...

And are white men allowed to apply to the Omegas and have their body branded like cattle?

As long s there is no state or federal funding, there is not much can be done, it is similar to a private club.

The University of Alabama is a public university. Even if a frat uses off campus housing, they are recognized student organizations. They use campus buildings for events and are directly associated with the school. The school DOES have jurisdiction over the frat. If the frat doesn't want to comply - they can be disassociated from the school.

There are many black only and hispanic only organizations, on campuses all over the USA.
GOD forbid, there is a white only organization, or you get called the KKK.
