    Maybe you are racist. But are you “too racist for a Mississippi fraternity” racist?

    (I also like the cowardly and unnecessary inclusion of “appeared to.” Bro just let him sue you if he’s going to. You can assign Dale from the mailroom to go to court and scoff derisively at the plaintiff on your behalf for the entirety of the trial, and keep offering to show the video on his phone if people want to see.)

      It looks like the central organization revoked his membership status, not the local chapter…

      If by school you mean repeatedly in the balls so he can’t procreate, I agree.

    OK good.

    To the rest of the anti-protest though: why are people responding to a protest about Israel fighting Palestine by wearing American flag overalls and singing Star Spangled Banner?
