Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield hasn't been shy lately from the limelight.

His dance moves went viral on social media, but there is a serious side to the junior quarterback who is competing for Trevor Knight's starting job.

In light of the recent Charleston, South Carolina shooting, Mayfield posted a fairly rational tweet venting his frustrations and calling for people to put an end to racial violence.

Mayfield, the easy-going, whip-dancing social media phenomenon, just wants everyone to get along. And he makes some great points in the note he left for his thousands of Twitter followers.
