    Josh Allen Tweets: Racist Or No?

    Offensive tweets from Josh Allen surface hours before NFL draft
    Ryan Young
    Yahoo SportsApril 26, 2018

    DiVincenzo’s tweets from his time as a teenager emerged on social media shortly after his MVP performance in the national title game of the NCAA basketball tournament. The timing for Allen could be more problematic: hours before the NFL draft.

    A search through the quarterback’s Twitter history shows some offensive and racist posts from 2012 and 2013.

    Be warned, some of the language used below may be offensive.

    Allen has tweeted the “n” word multiple times.

    “@cheriishhh: i dont think you niggas want a troubled son!”

    — Josh Allen (@JoshAllenQB) June 14, 2012


    “@Alpha_Patlan: “@J_Prodigy_5: @Alpha_Patlan (uhh) stay schemin…” Niggas Trying To Get At Me. ” doe

    — Josh Allen (@JoshAllenQB) February 12, 2013


    “@Alpha_Patlan: “@J_Prodigy_5: @Alpha_Patlan (uhh) stay schemin…” Niggas Trying To Get At Me. ” doe

    — Josh Allen (@JoshAllenQB) February 12, 2013


    "@FelipeeeeMelo_: Bout to show up these Niggas at pong. Gonna do for @j_prodigy_5 @AFlyer5 and @J_Sal_Forever_5."

    — Josh Allen (@JoshAllenQB) February 26, 2012


    He also responded to a question that looks like was asked of him on AskFM in 2013, saying “If it ain’t white, it ain’t right!”

    Why are you so white ? — If it ain't white, it ain't right! http://t.co/wsLQKZQWG5

    While this one isn’t necessarily offensive, Allen also shared his public dislike for NBA star LeBron James in 2011.

    I hate LeBron!!!!! #LeBronSucks

    — Josh Allen (@JoshAllenQB) June 7, 2011


    All of the tweets in question came when Allen was young — at least two years before he enrolled at Wyoming, providing yet another example of the dangers in social media.

    There has been no word yet from Allen or his agent about the tweets, which will presumably come before the draft kicks off Thursday night from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

    Kid was obviously a baller & appears to me he was just using the slang available to him & used by much of the youth today.

    The LeBron tweet should guarantee him first overall pick and a lifetime contract.

    Would anyone care if he was black and saying those things?
    Would anyone care if he was hispanic and saying those things?
    Would anyone care if he was asian and saying those things?

    Blacks most racist race in world, all they do is make excuses for their failures.

    The only thing that matters is that this guy barely completed 50% of his passes at a tier 2 college

    I can understand trying to make news out of the slang texts, but what on earth does his feelings, right or wrong about Lebron, have to do with anything lol

    So now it’s racist to hate LeBron?? Jesus.

    Blacks are setting themselves back 100’s of years, and they don’t even realize it. They can thank Obama.

    They’re disrespectful but not inherently racist. He used the the N word as slang and while it’s not ok for white people to use that term to refer to blacks, it doesn’t mean he’s racist, just made bad choices when tweeting. He’ll realize that soon enough if he hasn’t already.

    2 years ago, but I wouldn't mind if a similar situation happened this year and caused someone to fall to the dolphins at #11 as long as they aren't garbage on the field like Tunsil was last season

    Tweets from a 15 year old kid who grew up in bumfuk part of Cali are irrelevant. If he made them in the past year or two it might be a problem.

    this is ridiculous

    people digging through his tweets from 2012-2013, looking for a reason to get offended. Geez. What a world we live in.

    Who wrote this? Apparently everyone has to like LeBron.

    Or else you might be a closet racist and warrant an investigation.

    Example of the dangers of social media? I don't see a problem. The problem is the idiots who spend hours scouring through social media to try and find something offensive.

    I guess no one can use social media because they might become famous one day and then have people going through ancient messages.

    You could find something to be offended by on ANY account if you try hard enough.

    I'm surprised it came out day of the draft. Whoever released the story probably didn't want to take the chance that Allen won't be #1 pick, so he sandbagged him today.

    Typical.
