Blake Shelton Apologizes

After making some homophobic and racist tweets, the country music star Blake Shelton is sorry it happened. The offensive tweets have been deleted from his Twitter account, but the damage has already been done.

The country star stated that comedy has always been a part of his career and he has absolutely no tolerance for hate, but sometimes his humor can be immature and inappropriate. He has apologized if his jokes were seen as tasteless or offended anyone, but they were not meant as hateful.

Most of the tweets Blake sent were rude and offensive to gay people, while others were outright racist talking about terrorism and potential terrorists. The tweets span over many years, from 2008 to 2015, and are just not right.

The name Blake is given to men and was derived from the Old English. The first derivation of Blake came from the word blaec meaning “black”, which was the nickname for someone who had dark skin or hair. Other believe it’s a derivation of the word blac meaning “pale”, or someone with pale skin or hair. While others believe the name is a form of corruption of “Ap Lake”, which means “Son of Lake”. This last definition seems to be the most fitting for the country star.

There are many famous people with the name Blake, from Blake Clark the American actor and comedian to Blake Wheeler professional hockey player. Now the list is topped off with the star – Blake Shelton
