Justine Sacco - "Going To Africa. Hope I Don't Get AIDS..... I'm White" - by lomaxx: 12:51pm On Dec 21, 2013 |
A US public relations executive has provoked a storm of online protest for writing a Twitter comment about Aids in Africa. Justine Sacco, who works for the media company InterActiveCorp (IAC), wrote: "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get Aids. Just kidding. I'm white!" Ms Sacco's account has now been deleted. IAC responded by saying the "outrageous, offensive comment" did not reflect the company's views and values. Unfortunately, the employee in question is unreachable on an international flight, but this is a very serious matter and we are taking appropriate action," the IAC said in a statement to the media blog Valleywag. IAC is the parent company of About.com, Ask.com, CollegeHumour, Match.com, OkCupid, The Daily Beast, Dictionary.com, Vimeo, and BlackPeopleMeet.com, a dating site for African-Americans.

Thats a silly and costly statement. But when you think that most politicians and money bags in Africa cant go to bed in their Hotel suites with not less than 2 or 3 girls, you then realise her fear. |

lomaxx: Yeah, only if you can afford their expensive treatment or were you thinking the oncologists treat people for free in america? chinaman666: I guess she is going to 'Africa' to be an Ashawo and sleep around because the last time I checked, you contract HIV/AIDS through unprotected sex or if one is exposed to infected needles or blades. Besides, is there no HIV/AIDS in america? Later on, they wonder why an increasing number of minorities hate them. Cykik: "Am going to america, hope i don't get cancers and tumors" LOL, correct! Dreal1247: But they are the ones that imported AIDS into Africa. And you think they will ever admit that? 9 Likes |

Following the debate on twitter. That woman is a turd. One little tweet is about to change her life forever. We know many white people are lowkey racist but will never voice it out. Now see what her exuberance has caused her and her company? I can even see that the company shares are dropping Once they find out that you're from Africa they start asking foolish and unreasonable questions. Some even think Africa is a country Saw this on twitter. I'm going to North America, I hope I don't get shot by George Zimmerman. No Kidding! I'm Black! #HasJustineLandedYet 24 Likes |
