On Thursday, before the Panthers played the Steelers in the final exhibition game, Newton posted a photo to his Instagram account of himself with seven of his close friends on a trip to Mexico.

Some of the friends are wearing bandanas on their faces and making hand gestures while Newton, in the front, has his hands in the form of a ‘W.’



Most of the comments centered around gang culture and whether Newton was a Crip or Blood.

Friday Newton took to IG again, to set the record straight, using another photo to highlight the stereotypes and judgments that serve no real purpose.



Before you begin to judge!?
1. Every1 in the previous post has a degree and is WELL educated.... DO/ARE YOU!??
2. I am; who I am; and why are you so judge mental in "2015".... ARE YOU AFRA1D of what you don't understand!?? If you DONT understand why throw SHADE (speaking on something you do not know about; for people who don't understand the meaning of throwing "shade"). Now with all that said, "I COU1D REALLY CARE 1ESS WHAT YOU TH1NK OF ME; IamWHATiAM AND THATS A PERSON TRYiNG TO CHASE GREATNESS NOT TRYiNG TO BE ANY1ELSE or WHAT you WANT ME TO BE"
3. Is this picture better for you S1MPLEminded PEOP1E; who are quick to judge something/someone "WHEN YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE NEXT PERSON"!? ⏩something to think about⏪

People just look for anything to judge and criticize. Cam and his crew look like they were playing paintball or some other game like that. On the other hand, he needs to understand that he is a high profile athlete that will be heavily scrutinized. If he is going to be so sensitive, he should just have fun with his people but not post the pictures on social media. nikkas share way too much on social media anyway.
