Minutes after his team clinched their first NFC North divisional title in eight years, Chicago Bears left tackle Charles Leno, Jr. proposed to longtime girlfriend Jennifer Roth on the midfield line of Soldier Field.
SHE SAID YES!
Congrats to @charleslenojr72 & @jennifermroth_! pic.twitter.com/muMxduITIW

Following their announcement, Twitter detectives went to work and discovered that Roth has a racist past of her own. Less than 24 hours after the big ask, tweets dating back to 2012 revealed Roth wanted to "go back to talking to white guys" after observing how Black men treat white women on her college campus.
I’ll never understand why Black professional athletes seem to love them some Black-fetishizing, white women with lowkey racist tendencies & think saying “nigga” is ok. Bc its really not, you’re a public figure & you tweeted like this. But if yall happy congrats I guess. pic.twitter.com/EfqDI9Ucif

Another tweet showed Roth calling people ghetto for naming their children after "stuff they can't afford."
The online community had a thought or two about the boresome bigotry. One user challenged Black men defending Roth's behavior to keep that same energy around their mothers and aunts.
Reading up on these Jennifer Roth tweets.
Seeing Black dudes say it ain’t no big deal.
Bet. Take her home to your mommy and aunties.
Seeing others say her tweets are old.
Did y’all say that to Kevin Hart?
Miss me!#jenniferroth

Others noted that the Oakland native was probably aware of his fiancée's racism and may not care.
Just saw those old tweets from Charles Leno Jr’s fiancée, I feel like he already knows this about her and doesn’t care. There are some black guys out here who truly feel this way, if they’re happy with it then it’s none of my damn business cause it’s his life to live????????♀️

Charles Leno Jr. probably tells people before they meet his racist fiancée that he’s ok with her saying “nigga”

Others couldn't help but assume Roth is with Leno for his money, and predicted their marriage ending in divorce.
Charles Leno Jr is going to have CTE, & she going to be putting her non-biracial kids through college w/ the money she got from divorcing him. Dude…#GetOut

Charles Leno Jr shouldn’t go through with this marriage. As someone else stated, she’ll divorce him (before or after having his kids. Probably after) and profit off of his work.

Finally, a user lamented how disheartening it is that Leno won't stand with Colin Kaepernick on taking a knee against police brutality but will propose to a white woman with prejudice tendencies.
Charles Leno @charleslenojr72 won't #TakeAKnee on the field to protest brutality against blacks BUT will to propose to a white woman. Truly sad mentality & optics #ImWithKap

Jennifer Roth's tweets are now protected, and Leno has since remained mum on the issue. If the culmination of this scandal echoes previous offenses by white women, Roth will issue an apology claiming she was "making a joke," denying her obvious racism in the process.
