University of Mississippi Alums React to OU Fraternity Chant
The Oklahoma University fraternity members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon were broadcast nationwide via a recording of them chanting a racist song.
Many have spoken out against these students, and among them were two University of Mississippi alums.
Timothy Abram is a Hall of Fame member at the University of Mississippi who graduated last year with a degree in public policy leadership. He is currently a history teacher at West Tallahatchie High School in Webb, Mississippi. He has written several thought-provoking articles both as a writer and an editor for the Daily Mississippian’s opinion section.
He hasn’t lost his touch for critical reaction writing to national events. Recently he published with the NBC News, as quoted:
“If we want to measure progress by the fact that we are not lynching black people anymore, we are only singing about it, I suggest we use another ruler.”
Anonymous is the name of the author who posted an opinion piece to Fox Sports. It is troubling that this person has refrained from naming himself, but he has written at length of his experiences with the intersection of racism and Southern traditions at University of Mississippi with a conclusion that people could learn and change for better. Here is an excerpt:
“I abhor the words and attitudes present in the Oklahoma video, but I hope that everyone can step back from the outrage and learn from this situation. Feel free to mock them for their stupidity, but don’t forget that they are people and people can change.”
This is one of many dialogues the nation must face, and University of Mississippi is well-represented especially by Timothy Abram.
Update: The corrections were made to change the university’s name from Oklahoma State University to Oklahoma University.

Oklahoma State probably isn’t going to be all that happy with you mixing them up with OU… Especially with libel laws being what they are.

OSU is not Ole Miss. I get so tired that anything that is a racial at a University in the country that somehow Ole Miss gets mentioned.
Look how far Ole Miss has come. How many minority students we have. The over all cultural diversity of the campus and community in Oxford in general.
Good and bad people exist everywhere. It’s time to move forward and if idiots like the OSU SAEs do racist stuff like this we all need to condemn them but it has zero to do with Ole Miss, period!

Hell no! I think it would be kinda funny if you wrote all that. It may weed out all the creepies. Before I got married, I think there was some sort of magnetic force field around. I seemed to be fly paper for freaks. I'm sure in your case, its just because you are smokin hot lady! (remember I'm married… I'm not hittin' on ya – justsayin…)

Wow, that’s really inappropriate. Report to manager? And I think this has more to do about the barista than you. I’ve been dealing with someone who slammed me this week for saying that she was inappropriate for saying that she could have done what I did if she didn’t have kids. Her repeated comments and lashings (which I’ve ignored) she me that she is the one with the problem, not me.

La tua prefazione mi commuove. A volte ci sembra così "normale" la nostra vita e non ci fermiamo a pensare che essere nate nel paese giusto al momento giusto, sia stata proprio una fortuna.Zuppetta molto gustosa

To be clear on the cash – we didn’t keep it. It was “laundered” through our bank accounts. We’d be handed the cash and immediately write a check out for the exact amount as a donation to the theatre production company that fronted Sharon & Alex’s projects. That way it looked as if the production company was receiving donations and they’d get the funds they needed to pay for things like a normal production. It was like angel investors – except it was all funded by cash “school” fees.
