Arizona State University Frat Celebrates MLK Day By Being Extraordinarily Racist (VIDEO)

Arizona State University Frat Celebrates MLK Day By Being Extraordinarily Racist (VIDEO): A fraternity at Arizona State University decided to celebrate the national holiday honoring civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., by being overtly racist.

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at ASU held an unregistered party Sunday and dubbed it an "MLK Black Party," according to CBS5. Attendees wore basketball jerseys, drank from cups made out of watermelons and flashed gang signs for the camera.

The partygoers posted a number of photos on social media. Attendees included the following hashtags on their Instagram posts:

#myboymartin
#hood
#killem
#ihaveadream
#blackoutformlk

All of the people identified in the Instagram photos used by local media have since deleted their accounts.

The fraternity was already on "social probation" at the time of the incident, ASU spokeswoman Sharon Keeler told the Phoenix New Times, meaning it wasn't allowed to have parties.
