Twitter Outrageous Over JUSTINE SACCO Racist Tweet

You probably don't know her or if you are active on twitter,you already know of the lady who for the past 6 hours has held twitter hostage reason being she posted a racist tweet moments before boarding a flight to Africa,South Africa precisely.

Sacco Justine Sacco is the Chief of PR at IAC, a company whose clients include Vimeo, Match.com, Urbanspoon and Ask.com. And as much as she might have sent a tweet jokingly to her then 400 followers,little did she know the tweet would land her in big trouble and give her instant negative celebrity status,her followers count went up to quadra figures.

Here's the idiotic,racist tweet that she posted and has since deleted.

Since she was on am 11 hour wifi free British flight to S.A she didn't know the impact or damage she'd caused herself with that tweet which she posted minutes before taking off. So the tweet went viral and everyone was on her case,for the next hours to her landing ranting took toll under trending topic #HasJustineLandedYet just to find out how her reaction would be when she touched down and turn on her phone to see the damage she has done. Meanwhile her employer IAC issued an apology and since them couldn't reach her on her phone as she was aboard a flight,less could be done however they promised to take relevant actions. Taking of which a change has since been made on their website scrubbing off her name as the PR consultant a hint that she could probably have been fired

Anyways in Capetown where her landing was due,many curios people were awaiting her landing and as the world watched from the fence,one South African Zac_R took it upon himself to do the confirmation and snapped her photos on arrival,seemingly ashamed. Zac got to chat with her father as well who was ashamed of her action. Here's series of the tweets from Zac from the airport.

@Zac_R: Yup. @JustineSacco HAS in fact landed  at Cape Town international. She's decided to wear sunnies as a disguise.

@Zac_R: Justine's dad is apologeti & basically in tears."I decided to raise her in the US. SA was too racist". Oh, the irony!

@: When she stepped out into the greeting area. Her sister/friend greeted her with "Don't worry. It'll blow over soon"

@Zac_R: When I snapped a pic of Justine her little bro (15?) in a thick American accent "HEY! WTF are you doing?!

@Zac_R: "I'm so incredibly ashamed of her. She's a fucking idiot" - Justine's dad to me.
