Dude, I get it. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.
Remember when some guy wrote an article about A&M having a Murderer, Rape enabler, and Adulterer on the coaching staff?
Florida had an actual Murderer play for them, and commitments from a Pedophile and a Racist.
Where's the article?

Where's the article?
1. Florida first had this QB cut for a racial slur
2. then their backup QB was cut because he was chasing under age girls on the internet (kitna)
3. Then their starting QB jumped early to the draft
4. then their 5 star recruit they told would get 13 million dollars to flip from my Hurricanes - bailed on them when it turned out they lied and didn't have the money.
so as bad as it can be in College Station- it's worse in Gainesville!

He's been listening and singing to (C)Rap all his life, and he folds like a dry towel when a few other ******* get their panties all up in a bunch? What a *****.TravelAg2004 said:Honest question...how was it offensive? If it's in a song on the radio, how can someone else singing along with it (not performing, remixing, whatever) be offensive?Quote:
In response to Florida pulling his offer, he explained, "I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted a video of it on social media. I deeply apologize for the words in the song that I chose to say. It was hurtful and offensive to many people, and I regret that. I fully accept the consequences for my actions, and I respect the University of Florida's decision to withdraw my scholarship offer to play football."
Aaaaaand it's gone...
The football coach of an HBCU apologized for offering four star QB recruit Marcus Stokes a scholarship.

Stokes was previously committed to Florida, but lost his scholarship after singing a song that featured a racial slur.https://t.co/WRKgMsAIMy
The most powerful word in the universe.
Black artist and labels want everyone buying and listening to their music.
The content of the song is what makes it popular which adds revenue through air play and sales. It is absolutely asinine to expect anyone listening to it or that has purchased it, not to sing or repeat the lyrics. It s galactic stupidity to get upset about it when someone does.

If this is the response from black community to non blacks singing their songs, whites should no longer be purchasing or downloading it.
The loss in revenue would quickly get artists and labels to defend "singing songs".

While I don't think anyone should be dropping the N bomb, it just doesn't seem right that this kid's life/football career should end because he was singing along with what is considered a mainstream song that a black artist recorded. If we can't recognize this for the hypocrisy that it is then we are legitimately beyond hope.

Woke up and went the whole day without saying that word. Just like yesterday. And the day before. Doesn't seem that hard.

The outrage. The need to be PC. Groupthink.
Because....he didn't say it to teammate, stranger, or anybody for that matter. He was singing the lyrics of a song performed by a black artist. Singing a song isn't indicative of character or values. It merely demonstrates preference/choice in music, which is actually supporting the labels and artist.
The word shouldn't be selectively offensive and context is important.

But you didn't mention anything about UF. UF made the decision and only they are responsible. The kid used a racial slur and even he realizes he was wrong.

He didn't "use a racial slur". That's an idiotic take. He sang the words of a song with that word in it. I do the same thing, windows down and all. Unapologetically even. I have only ever used the word, on its own, when with teammates of my basketball team. This was before idiots like Obama worsened race relations, though, in the 80s. It was understood, between us, to be used in a non-serious/non-racial manner. Same as if they used "beaner" or "honky" with me.
But, if an artist puts it in the song, it's meant to be sung and would have zero racial animus.
UF is too stupid to realize he is simply singing the lyrics to a song by a black artist. They could have spoken to him about how certain people might not like it and moved on. Nope, they overreacted and caused more direct harm to his future than to anyone's sensitivities that saw the clip.
word is so bad its uttered repeatedly everyday in this country
you never sing to songs you like?BurntOrangeIsBeautiful said:

He did use a racial slur and that fact isn't up to debate unless you're trolling beyond that of idiotic takes. Yes you're legally allowed to use racial slurs, but you're personal use of racial slurs is irrelevant when speaking on the UF and who they admit to their schools. Racial slurs were a pretty big thing longe before Obama became president in 2008, but I get your need to blame him for everything bad even before he was born.

That's your opinion on UF's intellect. They most likely aren't making excuses or rationalizations for the former players use of a racial slur. They could have done many things but they chose the option they felt comfortable with. They acted appropriately and have done a tremendous job in not going back on their decision.
Thoughts on A&M formerly being associated with a racially slurred team entrance song at Kyle Field?
Our thoughts on the current controlled EXTRATERRESTRIAL reality disclosure process and related US GOV cover-up? Once the uneasy, contagious giggling subsides, how will our civilization and the mislead sheep adapt to this publicly known reality? Are the good Shepherds withholding the truth in our best interest? Perhaps multiple species are involved?

I love how we throw all basic logic out to support the illogical in this one specific case with no explanation needed.

He sang a song with the word in it. That isn't now, and never was, "using a racial slur". Your continued record of bad takes stands. Good job.

If it's a racial slur no matter the context, why aren't black people punished and canceled when they say it to each other or in a "song"?
