Anderson Cooper Rips Racist Frat Lyrics by Anderson Cooper

2014

[Anderson Hays Cooper:]
Time now for The Ridiculous. So, Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day and at an event around the country obviously Americans paid tribute to the civil rights leaders life and his legacy and with respect and solemnity, celebrated his vision, honored his dream. There were memorials, parades, days of service, many volunteers spent the day making a difference in others lives. And then there’s what happened at Arizona State University. Members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity threw what they called the MLK black party. What might that entail, you ask? Just your average white kids dressed in basketball jerseys, throwing gang signs and drinking from – believe it or not – watermelon cups.
Now, I know, you don’t want to believe that something so racist and asinine and ignorant can actually happen in 2014. Frankly, it would be easier just to pretend that someone got this story wrong. And after all, there’s no proof that this happened, right? Well, there is. In fact they posted pictures of the party on Instagram with hash tags like happy MLK day, homies and blackout for MLK! There is a woman with a watermelon cup.
Arizona State says the university will not tolerate this kind of behavior and suspended the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity while it investigates. And the school is also planning action against the individuals involved. You know the last time we had a story about frat bros on “The Ridiculous,” it was about those guys who allegedly consumed boxes of wine through their posteriors with a system of rubber tubing – I think it was called Tour de Franzia.
Anyway, I have to say those guys are freaking Rhodes Scholars compared to these MLK Day frat bros. And that’s the thing – we’re just plumbing the depths of stupidity here. To me it is terrifying, terrifying, that these people made it into college without learning anything about what is appropriate human behavior and terrifying that they’ve got such an astounding lack of awareness and they’re so moronic about themselves and the world to actually post pictures of it like it’s the spring semi-formal or whatever. Plus, it’s the – it’s just the dumbest idea I think I ever heard of. Whatever happened to the good old fashioned toga party? That’s still a frat bro thing, isn’t it?
[Anderson Cooper:]
Actually, you know what? Scratch that. I would not want to see what this particular group of morons would do if you gave them a bunch of white sheets. Look, I get some college kids are going to do stupid things. I get this generation of college kids seem determine to document it all online where it will live forever, a permanent testament to shameless idiocy. Perhaps, that fact is punishment enough though, on The Ridiculous.
