The problem is "black Twitter" has caused a public ganging up against the App State player, all because the A&T player made an immature move by posting the player's picture, full name, and basically nudging black Twitter to go after him.

The A&T player should be reprimanded for that alone.

And the racist statements weren't immature?

I'm not saying they weren't, but one thing about this whole debacle is the public doesn't know the context in which things were said. The comment of "at least I have a dad" isn't exactly racist unless it's being used to assume most black people don't have dad's in their lives. And as for other racist remarks the App State player made, the A&T player hasn't revealed other racist remarks that he claims were said.
He is only saying there "were other racist remarks." If there were other racist remarks that were made, surely one of those was more notable than him only saying "at least I have a dad." All anyone know's is what the A&T player has stated on his Twitter and using those as the facts of the story.

No one has heard the story from the other side at all.

App State didn't suspend a player and a coach based on a tweet. If the school was comfortable enough to suspend then they knew something inappropriate took place. I'm just curious as to why you decided to strap the cape on all in the name of THIS cause?

Yes, but you also have to understand that in this current political climate, if someone says an athlete of a certain school said something racist, misogynist, sexist, etc., then the public at large puts the athlete and school on a hot bed of coals until something happens. Universities want to avoid bad PR as much as possible.

There are multiple stories out there within the past year where someone has been accused of something such as racism, the public learns about it and takes charge, only to find out that the story was falsified.
