Being too racist for a Mississippi frat is some next-level stuff.

Usually when you go to College you get smarter, but these imbeciles proved that wrong.

I think it’s more about them doing it in a public space.
There is no bar for being too racist for KA.

Racist, obviously, but to be expected in the South where this crap goes largely unchecked (South Carolina expat here).
What really boils my blood is the insensitivity (on top of the awful racism) of shooting up the sign and then posing with their guns. The Charleston shooting was not that long ago! They have no excuse to think this is just good ol boys having a laugh. I hope they get their asses handed to them by the FBI or DOJ for white nationalist domestic terrorism.

God, we had so many stories in college about how cartoonishly, stupidly racist Kappa Alpha members were… >:(

Yeah, the problem was being stupid enough to get caught, not being too racist.

Just an observation: They were too cowardly to shoot and pose during the day when everyone could see them.
The light, it burns.
Well, ok then.

Kicked out of a frat (and I will not use the somewhat more respectful term “fraternity” for racist idiots). It’s a start, but I’d like to hear that they get kicked out of the university, denied admission elsewhere, and can’t land cushy jobs anywhere.
Any company that hires them should be blacklisted. And yet somehow I’m guessing they’ll land high-up positions in investment companies . . . .

What I thought was really fucked up was that no one was sure they were the ones who shot up the sign, because apparently that happens regularly. Shit really hasn’t changed there.
I dunno. I’d say this might have taught them a lesson, at least.

That, and they’ll no doubt be right back in the frat as soon as the press coverage dies down.

It sounds like that whole frat could go and nothing of value would be lost.

As if national law enforcement believes white men can commit acts of terror.

It does not represent our chapter
I’m pretty sure it does, but these idiots provided proof of their racism themselves so time to save face with the public.

The Confederate Army should be designated as a terrorist organization. Anyone seeking to lionize it, recreate it in modern times or otherwise further its goals should be on the terrorist watch list, at least.

Why are fraternities even a thing?
Seriously, the rest of the world doesn’t have these odd collections of Greek letters and foul behaviour. Why are they such a part of American university culture?

Its “tradition” and “networking”. Aka a way for affluent white folks to filter the rubbish out that don’t belong.

This is a fantastic history of how frats started and how they ended up the way they are. It’s a damn cesspool.
