1968... wasnt that during Jim Crow, Selma, water hoses, etc?
It was an IOC decision in Mexico City, not a U.S. decision. As I said, the Black Power fist is globally repugnant. The Black Power fist athletes did indeed lose their Olympic medals over this.
So is the Black Power fist. Why hasn't that OU student been expelled?
Why do you keep responding to me with this? You've yet to make an argument as to why its relevant to the discussion....
I do not know why he has or has not been expelled. You really need to start a thread about OU and its purported discriminatory enforcement of its code of conduct. A discriminatory enforcement does not mitigate or negate violations of the code of conduct.
Its absurd this is your response to every argument in this thread.

some things are more important than a piece of medal...
We sang stupid songs when drunk back in the day. No one cared. Country is too uptight. Drunk idiots being drunk idiots. Ah but if it had turned into a ****-fest between sororities and fraternities then the women's rights would be having a seizure now.
It was certainly no more threatening than singing about killing police and white people. Should the government be able to go arrest certain rappers? And not even just rappers, plenty of singers and people in general could be arrested for "threats" that are much more obvious than the ones here.
No one was arrested.
The national headquarters of the Fraternity closed that chapter down. Two "leaders" were expelled by the university administration.

Then anyone doing so should suffer the consequences for creating a "hostile learning environment," for which OU has deemed to be expulsion. The Black Power fist student's frat's charter should be revoked, and he should be similarly expelled.
The irony for generations whitey told blacks what to do and now blacks hate or resent whites. So blacks (and white apologists) want to tell whites what to do as if forcing anyone ever had any good results.
