PR Exec Justine Sacco has responded to the international criticism after she made an offensive tweet that singled out Africa and black people in a distasteful comment.
Sacco made a formal statement regarding the offensive tweet today after leaving PR firm IAC:
"….for being insensitive to this crisis -- which does not discriminate by race, gender or sexual orientation, but which terrifies us all uniformly -- and to the millions of people living with the virus, I am ashamed."
- CNN
In spite of the harsh criticism that Sacco has had to deal with, some good has come out of her remarks. A charity bought Justinesacco.com and turned it into a donation link for people looking to contribute to the aids fight.
