The left-wing outrage mob that’s moved America’s Overton window further to the left than it’s been at any point in history has forced yet another NCAA football program to pull a scholarship offer from one of the best high school quarterbacks in the country after he sang along with rap lyrics in a social media video.
Late last year, Marcus Stokes, the 24th-ranked high school quarterback in the country, was committed to playing college football at the University of Florida before his scholarship offer was revoked in the wake of a manufactured social media scandal. This was after Stokes sang along with rap lyrics in a now-deleted 2-second video, quoting the phrase “welcome back, n—-.”
As National File reported at the time:
Stokes later issued an apology after the clip caused outrage. “I was in my car listening to rap music, rapping along to the words and posted video of it to social media,” Stokes wrote in a statement. “I deeply apologize for the words in the song which I chose to say.”
Though he had numerous outstanding offers from other Division 1 programs, those were revoked as well, and Stokes found himself without a college football destination, despite his status as one of the country’s top quarterback recruits.
Notably, Tim Tebow quarterbacked the Nease High School football team, where Stokes currently plays, earning All-American honors in his 2005-2006 senior season.
On January 24th of this year, Stokes announced that he’d received an offer to play ball at Albany State University, a historically black school (HBCU), located in Albany, Georgia. Within a week, that offer was revoked too, and now Albany State’s head football coach, Quinn Gray, is groveling to the outrage mob and issuing a public apology for offering Stokes a spot on the team, to begin with.
“Let me start with a humble apology,” Gray wrote. “An apology for not honoring the tradition and history of ASU and for letting many of you down,” adding that his “decision to speak with a student that did not meet your expectations was unacceptable.”
After repeatedly apologizing for the “impact” his offer to Stokes apparently had on the school, Gray wrote that Albany State’s “president has made it clear that my actions did not meet [the school’s] standards.”
“My action caused you to question my commitment to our institute and our ancestors. As the consequences go, I hope to find a way back into the ‘Ramily,'” Gray wrote in conclusion.
“Without a doubt, I will be all in. Go Rams.”
And on second thought, I’m even regretting immediately my description of “Welcome back, n****r” as “politically incorrect,” since I usually use that phrase to refer to something that SHOULDN’T be considered offensive. My would’ve-been 100+-year-old uncle might not have understood that you just can’t go around saying “n****r,” but how does an 18-year-old?
Here’s a thought: stay away from rap, and none of this ever happens.
In a healthy society, people try to move up the social rungs.
Blacks are the golden crowbar the Marxists have been using for decades to pry apart the country, one chip at a time.
They, and gays, and women, and illegal aliens etc will be tossed aside as soon as they’ve served their purpose.
They’re working to create an aristocracy in this country, and he isn’t part of it. He is forbidden to speak the language of his betters.
These kids are inundated with the n word; movie, music, everywhere. Then they say it and get cancelled. If this is how we’re going to act, the word should be banned in all media. It won’t, though because the “artists” would lose billions of dollars. It’s just another example of how insane this world has become.
because the “artists” would lose billions of dollars to donate to Dems....................
Garrett Morris on SNL said, "Where are these black broads, man? You got any phone numbers for me?"
This is pure B.S.
Oh, and I find the word “Ramily” offensive. Get rid of that guy.
In the Disney-Marvel movie “Black Panther”, teh white guy was not allowed to speak in the presence of the black king, who barked like a dog when the white man tried to speak...............
I was in Target yesterday and there was filthy rap blaring from the movie / music area, presumably from a black rapper. The crapper was talking about ####ing and using the N-word. This was just blared by the workers at target like it was perfectly normal. I really hate what this society has become. The America I grew up in is gone and I have no love for the alleged replacement.
But they’re winning.
But hard on Bob Dylan, who didn’t exactly invent spoken word music, but sure was instrumental in getting it popular in the rock genre.
Along with all the European beat poets of 90 years ago.
And cockney rhyming lyrics.
Wonder if blacks know they are culturally appropriating “white” culture with rap music.
"I've got my pistol pawn cocked Ready ta lay shots nonstop until I see your monkey ass drop"
One of the 5 high schools I attended (step-father was a government employee), mascot was the Rams...............Birmingham Ramsey High School Rams
I always thought “Hot Rod Lincoln” was the first ‘rap’ song.
But did they call you the “Ramily?” 😖
Dang - you moved more than I did. I was a Navy brat.
Whites have become the fair haired step child.
I guess they must deserve it...
