[quote]Florida withdrew the scholarship of committed 2023 quarterback Marcus Stokes on Sunday after a controversial video of Stokes stating a racial slur surfaced via social media on Friday.

In the video, Stokes can be seen in a car and heard saying "welcome back," followed by the slur.

I eagerly await Florida to pull the scholarships of POCs who commit the same unforgivable offense.

Dozens of Starbucks baristas who don’t watch college football might’ve expressed outrage over this so it had to happen.

I wonder if Spencer Rattler or Mason Taylor have a pass. Not really understanding how this works, but it’s intriguing.

Do black people who use the same word also get scholarships pulled? Not that they ever would say it since it's so offensive.

They run our schools

It literally doesn’t matter if it offends anyone else




But like I say in every situation like this. The kid knows the times he’s growing up in. He knows what these institutions expect. He’s a flat out moron for filming himself saying the n word. The leverage it gives your enemies is enough to ruin your life.

So don’t do it.

It seriously annoys me on how people will be such hypocrites.

I have no problem with people who use the word in a clear racist context and connotation facing repurcussions.

However, it's completely obvious that someone saying the word as a part of a song is not being racist, and it's idiotic to pretend so.

So just let the ones that ruin it for everyone and continue with cancel culture have a pass…..


Got it.

What would you like me to do?

If you want to go to UF you can’t film yourself rapping one of the 94% of songs that use the n word.

He wanted to go to UF.

He should not have filmed himself doing that.



I’m also WAY out on filming yourself doing anything. Social media is evil and I have almost no part in it. I don’t feel bad about anyone who dabbles in that arena. Get out. You’ll be much happier.

I hope there comes a day when someone with the proper amount of power and fricks to give turns crap like this upside down.
