Four members of the University of Georgia's Tau Kappa Epsilon chapter were expelled from the fraternity on Saturday. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter Email Bio Follow March 25 at 5:33 AM In the grainy video, a young man sits at the foot of a bed, his legs dangling off the side. His right arm is cocked and he’s holding what appears to be a brown leather belt, folded in half. He lets out a nervous sounding laugh. Someone off-camera taunts, “Do it. You won’t.

GreatDismal In Germany this would be called a „bedauerlicher Einzelfall“ (a regrettable isolated case“). Because surely this is not a trend. 😑
People still stigmatizing what today can be taken as a lesson to change the living habit and to avoid the use of stereotypes!
...'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'. 'pc' and democracy are at the opposite ends of the scale..
Some people are just stupid
The video showed a bunch of dumbass kids in a dorm room acting really shitty, they acted stoned or drunk or both, they are like 18-19 yrs old. Not white nationalists, just really really poor taste in humor. Type of kids that could get beat up by one badass all at the same time.
Cancel fraternities.
There are still miles to go before we sleep....a great many miles to go before we sleep!
No worse than 'it's not what you know but who you know'
And it continues...
I wonder, who brought the slaves?

University of Georgia fraternity suspended after racist belt beating video goes viral: 'Pick my cotton n*****'Tau Kappa Epsilon expelled the four fraternity members after they were made aware of the video. Good. Barbarians need to learn one way or another. They should also have to do community service in a black community area. Trash pick up, fence painting or something else (not with people contact) would be good.

Blame Mark Zuckerberg for it. Blame America and Israel for it. Blame Islamophobia for it. And, Muslim terrorists for authoring this for the last many years.
