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.
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.
@Zac_R: When she stepped out into the greeting area. Her sister/friend greeted her with "Don't worry. It'll blow over soon
They are the biggest carriers of these. Diseases.Africa was not afflicted with diseases until we interacted with them
