1. At least her apology wasn't a teflon evasion

None of that "I am sorry if I offended anyone crap" She conceded her tweet was shameful by admitting that she was ashamed of her action. I feel bad for her dad, the way he intervened with his younger son was amazing.

2. It wasn't an evasion....

but the racist twit managed to completely trivialize the experience of most gay people in this country (including myself) during the onset of the AIDs pandemic and in present day, thus showing herself to be homophobic as well.

“There is an AIDS crisis taking place in this country, that we read about in America, but do not live with or face on a continuous basis. Unfortunately, it is terribly easy to be cavalier about an epidemic that one has never witnessed firsthand."

How fortunate for her that her years in the USA didn't expose her to that itty bitty, don't see it anywhere, almost non-existent AIDs crises in this country! Oh wait... I see why... in Africa AIDs is predominately a heterosexual disease....here it started as a "gay thing".

3. You are absolutely right. n/t

4. I felt for her for a quick second

then I read about 25 or so of her past tweets and thought, "I hate this girl." Then I wondered why anyone who is not promoting a cause or a product or reporting on a live event tweets at all. Who cares what you think? You're just digging a hole for yourself. Oh well.

6. Yep

All the REALLY bad ideas and random thoughts the brain generates that for all of man's time never got past your own mind, people now put out to the entire world in the blink of an eye.

And, the English language deteriorates even further with each tweet.

7. Not true.. only for idiots..

"Unfortunately, it is terribly easy to be cavalier about an epidemic that one has never witnessed firsthand."
