What does that have anything to do with this topic.

Sheesh.

Because blacks 99.9% of the time will be served justice so it's not a big deal.

That is an outright lie. I can cite hundreds if not thousands of cases where authorities are reluctant to record black on white attacks as a hate crime. Media sources reluctant to cite the race of black perpetrators in their very own articles reporting the incident. Hence the terms "youths" and "teens" as descriptions for rampaging black mobs who attack fairs or malls filled with white people.

Well, that and because it's actually still a problem (but only if you happen to be black, otherwise it's someone else's problem).

These kids knew better, they deserved what happened. And if they are horribly ashamed for their actions, all the better.

I bet you're one of those people who spam YouTube vids with anti-racist is a code name for ant-White lol.

Every race is a victim of the actions you mentioned, and every crime doesn't make national news.

If it bothers you so much that those crimes aren't reported how about you stop complaining and take action?

My goodness, every thread on CD where someone's clearly in the wrong you have the few Devil's advocates that either downplay the situation or live in denial.

I never said otherwise.

There is only so much someone without high level media or political connections can do. You must know that. Either that or you're not very bright.

It's impossible to downplay a non story that makes national news.

Okay, thumbs up, that was funny.

freedom of speech: just because you can, doesnt always mean you should.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, but it also doesn't mean a government institution should be able to punish free speech. Then there is no more free speech.

The president of the university could have called the video deplorable, protestors could picket the house, any number of other measures, but for the government to act is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. If the 1st Amendment can not protect speech people find detestable, then it has no meaning.

All the president of the university had to do was call the video deplorable and say he was in contact with the SAE National Office.

The National Office of SAE pulled the chapter's charter, which is their right to do, and it isn't a violation of anyone's rights because being in a fraternity is a privilege, not a right.

Members of the fraternity are now receiving death threats. So how many of you are in favor of this? I'm guessing it puts a smile on many of your sick psychotic faces.
