Exec of liberal company fired after Tweet?

If you want to make racist jokes on Twitter and then pretend they aren't racist, it's probably best not to get on a half a day flight immediately after making the racist joke. I mean, that's just stupid. And racist. But mostly stupid.

so... she was correct in her thinking that white people are somehow immune from AIDS while traveling in Africa?

And again.... it's business. Business owners have the right to fire someone whose behavior they feel is a negative influence on their bottom line, especially when their position is one of dealing with the public.

The fact is that AIDS is mostly transmitted by anal sex in Africa.

Unless of course the person is black or queer. Then they can't be fired for any reason. White? Yes.

Apparently they missed out on the Gospel according to Phil and what it says about the relative merits of anuses and vaginas as a means of schieving sexual pleasure.

Why don't you fill (Phil) us in (pun intended) from your vast store of experience?

Now, as for the tweet itself. Read above to see if I think she should be fired.

The tweet reads more to me like self-deprecating sarcastic humor. It seemed to me not that she believed she couldn't get it, but more that she was making fun of people who think they couldn't. Of course I can't read a heart in 140 characters, and thus a person in PR should have been smarter than to tweet that even if she was being sarcastic about dumb whites who think they are safe from AIDS.

BINGO! ...which is why she was so ashamed once the reality of her tweet smacked on her dense liberal head.

Is that what she was thinking? Where did you get your "mind reading" degree?

Who here is arguing the company can't fire her? Oh that's right; NO ONE.

Thank you again Commander Obvious; now run along and let the people with brains debate.

I am amused that you still think it was a racist joke and perhaps not an effort to impugn Conservatives.
