In regards to the University of Oklahoma SAE issue my stance is the same I have with any issue like this. It was dumb for them to do it, it is shameful if they actually think that way but at the end of the day they have the right to say it. It might be a hard pill to swallow but if an american wants to be racist he or she has that right. In regards to the SAE insistent the nationals of the fraternity had every right to disband the charter but the university did not have the right to expel the students. It is a public institution and that means it is a part of the government. The government does not have the right to tell people what they can and can not say. People need to be protected and be able to say whatever they want. There is also a double standard in america. How can one group of people say they have ownership of a word? Just because someone is white does not  mean that he or she  can't use that word. Honestly if there was a word only white people could say people and the media would have an issue with that.  America is a the greatest country on earth because we are protected to say and think whatever we want. People need to remember that the rights allowing you to call people racist also protects them, and allows them to say whatever they want.
