    OU has a student code of conduct. I'm sure if anyone tries to take up any action over a 1st amendment violation, they can find something in there to apply the student's actions to in order to protect themselves.

    N!gg@ism 101 - If a white person does something wrong to black people . . .. find a way to blame black people for it.

    Why is there white washing in the melting pot we call America?

    Because words hurt blacks. They are almost as sensitive as murdering Muslims.

    What a bunch of garbage. Martin Scorsece's violent, crazy as hell movies reach a lot more white kids than some rapper. Why aren't these clowns reading a scene from Wolf of Wall Street every time some white kid is caught with drugs? Shut up already.

    I am curious what y'all think about CNN and other outlets putting the names and personal information of the two expelled students out there? Personally, I don't think public shaming of 19 year olds who say and do stupid things is the right thing to do. Personally, I feel this only exacerbates racial tensions than calm them.

    I've don't know any SAE frat guys
    (UT Grad), but I heard rumors of them being rich white kids who got away with everything and anything. I'm not a big fan of frats in general, as I think most of them are exclusionary and segregated, not necessarily by race, but by socio-economic class. I still haven't watched the video, I know enough about it to know it's a disgusting clip. Still, I don't think shaming 19 year olds, ruining their futures by attaching their names to this is the right thing to do.

    Lastly, on my way home last night, I heard discussions about this and a caller made a point that I generally agree with. He finds the behavior of these people marching in the neighborhood of the two boys and others who are public shaming them are narcissistic children who want to feel morally superior to anyone who does not embrace their views. I think he has a point there. Curious if anyone else feels the same about these two points.

    If you're going to leave a comment insulting me in rep field...have the courage to leave your name. If you disagree with what I have said, than speak to me about it. Don't leave some anonymous comment insulting me for having an opinion. I find that quite pathetic. Not everyone has to agree with you, and if you don't have the intelligence or the fortitude to at least have a discussion, than get out of the DEBATE and DISCUSSION forum.

    Yeah, it takes a special kind of puss to post feedback insults...guess these tough guys need to hide behind two layers of anonymity. :rolleyes:

    There should be a way to report it and give the moderators the option of banning the person if the comment was worthy, or perhaps revealing who said it so everyone can shame them.

    Their names were out there already. On social media, on apology websites.
    If they weren't adults then I would fell bad but they are 19 years old. The Internet has a problem with anonymous racsim so maybe this get their attention.

    19 year olds busted for smoking a joint have their futures ruined by having felonies attached to their names. Their are consequences and a reputation shouldn't be something you should pick and choose red flags out of.


    It's not cool to make a mob and March it down a families house. The Internet is sufficient enough now a days. As for your narcissistic children comment I think you should look up the word narcissist. Those people are Partisans.

    Agree. Nothing will be accomplished by publicly shaming these kids. The only outcome from public shaming is vigilante action. These 19 year olds should be privately reprimanded by the university and hopefully their families.

    I believe the popular saying "Two wrongs don't make a right" apply here.
    Ruining this kid's future will just further isolate him and reaffirm his prior notions and make him into a future Cliven Bundy. Suspend him from the school and let his family privately scold him.

    Social media found out their identities before any of those news outlets.

    There's no way these kids would have renamed nameless.

    Wow. I realize this is D&D and thus there is more latitude about what can be posted, but...

    This is going to be very unpopular but Clutch doesn't care. Labelling Muslims as "murdering" or and making broad generalities of races is not sufficient grounds for admonishing or reprimanding posters for Clutch but me calling someone "p***y" because of their bigoted nature is deserving of Clutch's attention.
