In the wake of the racially motivated killings of nine black community leaders at a church in Charleston, S.C., this week, there has been an abundance of commentary on and discussion of the tragedy.
OU quarterback Baker Mayfield offered his thoughts on racial violence via his Twitter account on Friday afternoon:
“You aren’t born hating anybody. You have no opinions when you’re born. Somewhere along the line, racism is taught. That is where the problem lies. The people that are taught to discriminate and hate another race, have most likely never been around people of different culture.
