How many young nigras and nigresses know Neil DeGrasse Tyson? not to mention so many other black physicists and black intellectuals in general. Damn near every black fella I know in my age group is deciding on whether they wanna be hip or hop, while pursuing some bullshyt degree.

EDIT: That said, black parents probably would discourage their kids from subscribing to black physicists, engineers, etc because they don't believe in da lawd jeezuh.

I have mixed feelings about this...on one hand there's a lot of truth to this...on the other hand the Obamas are quick to out black folks but don't seem as enthused about doing this to anyone else.

PHILADELPHIA -

We first told you about this story Wednesday on "Good Day." A high school senior gives up a free ride to college to pursue a rap career.
Now, we're hearing from the young man himself.


Jay Harris is one of the top high school football prospects in Pennsylvania. The Downingtown High School East senior and wide receiver had a scholarship to play college football at Michigan State University next year, and was heavily recruited.


But, in a surprising move, Harris says he decided to give it all up to be a rap star.

Harris says his father supports him, and he says he's working on getting signed to a record deal and can always go to college later.


"You gotta chase your dreams. You gotta do what you really want. If I go up there to MSU, a Division I program, and I go up there and my whole heart's not in it, I'll just be wastin' their time. This is really what I want to do for my life," Harris said.


Harris, who goes by the rap name "Jay DatBull," says his mix tape will be released on June 1. He had questionable behavior some of his rap videos.
A spokesman for Michigan State says the decision to revoke Harris' scholarship was mutual.

Seems like they had no problem with people idolizing these celebrities when it had an impact on them being elected into office
