Some sort of racism will always be around in my lifetime. But if you think it's worse now, you haven't lived long enough. I'm old enough to remember one of the biggest racists in the country George Wallace making a strong run for President in 1972 before someone shot him. We've come a long ways since then. But sadly I don't see the country progressing much further. The only thing that will kill racism is the melting pot culture of our society. It will be much different 50 years from now when all of us old white guys are dead. Just look at Tiger Woods for example. He was born to an Asian mother and a French/African father. He marries a Swedish white girl. So how are you going to categorize his kids of asian, african, french, swedish, white decent 20 years from now? Our society will look much different 50-75 years from now. I'm betting it will be pretty hard to be a racist without looking like a fool.

Agree GS. The white male is a dying breed....and the most hated person in society!

You guys have no f**king idea what you are talking about. First, if you think that you are not a racist, no matter how little, you are a liar. Everyone is racist to a certain extent. Second, OU should be happy that these guys exposed themselves for what they were. What would have happened if they decided to go hunting blacks down or setting them up? It happens a lot more often than you think. The fact is that America is much more racist and polarized than they were just 10 years ago. Work the streets and learn something. You clowns are so pathetic that it is really terrible. All you guys know is how to stand up for your schools and states, no matter how pathetic they are. You conviently try to sould like you know what you are talking about but you have no clue. Oklahoma is the home of the Okies. The only person of any importance to come out of Oklahoma was Will Rogers. Notre Dame is a disgrase. This "Catholic" school will accept anyone on their football team no matter what religion they are. Don't worry, USC will still beat your worthless tails, just like they did last season and just like they have done 10 out of the last 13 times the two teams have met. Notre Dame would whore itself for decent players, just like every other major FBS team in the nation. Do not give me any more "Holier than thou" crap in here. I am getting tired of hearing it from all of you. Stick to football and please do not try to make things up as you go along. Do not try to change the obvious. Accept what is obvious and go on with it. And please do not try to make yourself out as an expert at things that you know absolutely nothing about, other than what you see and hear on the news, which is as biased as it gets.

Exactly Bobby. There are thousands of people out there who feel the same way that these kids feel. The only difference is that these kids were dumb enough to say it and spread it all over the internet.

Of course there's thousands who feel that way. But there's millions that don't. You've just been hanging around the wrong class of people...

No crime was committed. And this falls well within their first Amendment rights of free speech. But there's also a University Code of Conduct they have to sign when they enter college. This case will ultimately be decided by what exactly is stated in that code of conduct.

My best friend is black, so I don't have any prejudice there. But I do have my prejudices like everybody else. I'm not real fond of muslims. But I don't make up fight songs about hanging them and then leading a hymn on a bus either. That's just stupid, whether your 20 years old or 40.

All Beckham was ever found guilty of was possession of pot. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of players who have been through the same thing at other universities and still got to play football. As for these kids on the bus, Boren should have just let them go back to school. I would much rather let these idiots have to go back to school and sit in class next to the 250 pound black football players they wanted to hang. I rather them have to face the music than just getting to walk away from this whole deal.

The point is he was never convicted of that crime, whether you believe the girl or not. It's funny how people bring this up, but they neglect to bring up the fact that Stoops threw a 5 star QB Bomar off the team for lying about a summer job. He also suspended Shannon and Mixon for a year. He also threw Dusty Dvorchek off the team for almost killing a guy in a bar fight. He was out of football for a year, then Stoops decided to give him a second chance so he would have a chance to go into the NFL. Dvorchek kept his nose clean and finished out his senior season, graduated and went pro. If Stoops gives a player a second chance, there is a very strict criteria they have to meet or they are off the team for good. He has given many players second chances and none of them have disappointed. He gave Beckham a second chance, but there were some strict guidelines he had to meet. And he knew if he broke one rule he would be gone. Stoops is probably one of the least tolerant coaches in the country, but he believes in second chances. You know, because like you said, kids tend to say and do ignorant things when their 20, right?

So let me get this straight. The fraternity is kick off of campus. At least two individuals are exxpelled from the school. And what does the OU team do? They decide to skip practice until after spring break as a protest to this incident. Really? I can understand wearing black practice jerseys as a form of protest, but skipping some spring practice?

This is your typical cop out. Why do all OU fans and students have to use cop outs? If any OU fans justifies this, they are just copping out to the fact that the team is not very good and is looking for a built in excuse for this season. This is not a big deal. It has been dealt with swiftly and correctly. Ou lost 5 games last season and they may be just as bad this season. If ANYONE thinks that missing any practice is a good idea for this team, either you are copping out, or you do not know football. This is a team that would be lucky to win 6 games in the SEC or Pac 12. They need all the help and practice they can get. No excuses. This is nothing more than a team looking for an excuse for what they think will be a poor 2015 season.
