Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 879024, member: 82"] I'm a far leaning left liberal but even I don't think this was necessarily racist. If he was a white dude and she tweeted the same thing this would not be a story. My point being the media is making this more of a story than it actually is. She's hardly the only person who thought Jameis was a little less than eloquent. She just happens to be AJ's mom, and that's the sole reason this was an issue. Honestly, the people who automatically assume it must be a shot at his race seem more racist, to me. It may not have been her intent at all, yet people raging against her are saying it MUST be due to the fact that he's black. Perceived racism about something that's based solely on assumptions makes the perceiver just as racist in so many instances. [/QUOTE]
