New video shows University of Oklahoma SAE ‘house mom’ using racial slur

Posted 2:55 PM, March 10, 2015, by Andrea Cavallier, Updated at 02:59pm, March 10, 2015

NORMAN, Okla. (PIX11) — A new Vine video appears to show a University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity “house mother” using a racial slur.

The second video surfaced just days after a YouTube video was posted Sunday where students are heard chanting “There will never be a ni**** in SAE. You can hang him from a tree, but he can never sign with me.”

A second video surfaced Tuesday claiming to show the “house mom” and shows a woman singing along to the song “All Gold Everything” by Trinidad James. Part of the song’s lyrics repeat the n-word over and over.

The woman was identified as Beauton Gilbow. Brandon Weghorst, the associate executive director of communications for SAE, confirmed that Gilbow was an employee of the local house corporation.

1. So I wonder how many former members of that racist fraternity are sitting in seats

of power over people's lives?

2. Is Trinidad James a racist who writs racist songs?

i have never heard the song, but the news characterize it as a rap song. Whatever the "house mom's" intentions, I wouldn't put her singing that song in the same egregious context as the chant on the bus. Unless that same standard is put on all such rap songs.

5. Maybe the house mother would be better advised to lay off the sauce, and avoid mocking black people

in bastions of white racism.

6. So if a black rapper sings n**r n**r n**r, its not racist for a white to sing n**r n**r n**r. Got it

I think Rush Limbaugh said something like that, so you're in fine company, my friend.

In general, if a black person uses the n**r word, than it is carte blanche for white people to chant that word?

True, it's not as bad as the explicit exclusion and lynching in the SAE song. But it is way way way way far from being OK.

10. I know my mother taught that you dont use word at all

and she said it doesnt what color you are.

[progree]

14. It sounds like very sound advice to me. nm

12. No one ever should

use that word. Black or white.

9. 70+ year old people should know better

If you are charged with supervising "young people" and insuring "moral rectitude" you probably shouldn't drink.

3. A real Southern Belle there.

After church that Sunday, her acquaintances will talk about her in hushed tones, and say things like "well, she's had her struggles you know..." - which as anyone who's lived in the Deep South knows, is usually a euphemism for "she drinks too much."

What I'm trying to say is that I lived in Mississippi for some years, and can attest to the fact that while most white Southern women do in fact mistrust and dislike African-Americans, they truly feel embarrassed when they hear one of their own carry on like that. Most white Southerners (especially women) really seem to want to make things "work" between the races in the South.

Nevertheless it's still easier to be a bigot in the Deep South today than it is to be a moderate (what with all those unspoken "fine lines" moderate Southerners are always afraid of crossing). Obviously, as long that's still the case we can expect many more Jim Crow moments like this one or worse.

4. The glee on her face

…the whole assumptive base of her enjoyment is beyond grotesque. This frat is a cesspool.

[irisblue]

7. good luck on finding your next job racist

somehow I doubt racism will keep her from long term unemployment

[Kelvin Mace]

8. Next, she'll tell us that she is shocked to learn that

Drinking went on.

[progree]

11. Why do so many comments suggest she was drinking? I don't see that in the article

I guess some DU people just can't grok that there are some people, especially in the Bible Belt, who feel that way about other races, when sober, and aren't shy about expressing themselves that way, when sober.

[Judi Lynn]

15. Her eyes were red, watery, she was cackling, her face was flushed. Not typical for sober people.n/t

[progree]

17. Yeah, I suddenly had the thought I ought to check the video again, but too late, "My Posts" was lit

up (it wasn't like 3 minutes earlier), and there was your post. Oh well. I agree.

[romanic]

16. Even if she was drunk

It doesn't cover up her true beliefs. A drunk mind speaks a sober heart - or something like that.

[tblue37]

13. When I watched the video, it seemed quite obvious that the whole point was to be able to chant the

word repeatedly, and she was delighted to have the opportunity to do so. The expression on her face as she repeats the word is pretty revealing.

18. One Thing We Know, This Was Not An Isolated Incident

How do we know that? Because everybody knew the lyrics.

While it is gratifying to see the University crack down hard on this keep in mind the football and basketball programs that must be defended -- especially the mostly black players that are key to the success Oklahoma enjoys in sports.

[progree]

19. I agree, probably not an isolated incident

.... In fact, 27 days ago, people on Reddit were talking about this exact same chant, and stating that it was a required chant to enter the SAE fraternity at the University of Texas. Before this controversy at the University of Oklahoma ever existed, here is how it was recounted in Texas,

For SAE context a few buddies of mine told me their favorite song to sing went-

"There will never be a n*gg*r SAE, there will never be a n*gg*r SAE, Abe set 'em free but they'll never pledge with me, there will never be a n*gg*r SAE."
