— Ace Justine Sacco, a woman with 100 Twitter followers who no one ever heard of, is -- or perhaps was -- a communications director with IAC, a firm that owns a bunch of internet companies (like About.com).
She did something you're not allowed to do anymore: She made a joke.
Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!
— Justine Sacco (@JustineSacco) December 20, 2013Well, obviously she's telling a darkly ironic joke, of the kind you see on Saturday Night Live and the Family Guy every week. And sure, like the jokes on those shows, it's not terribly funny and it's a bit hacky.
But it's a joke. And not a joke at Africans' expense, either. It's black humor commentary about her soft, safe white life.
Obviously.
Well, you and I might understand that, but @BuzzfeedAndrew -- or, as I call him, "Scoop Kascynski" -- knows a smokin' hot story (and clickbait for a slow news day) when he sees it.
Dude. "@BuzzFeedAndrew: This may be the worst tweet of all of time. actually the worst tweet" https://t.co/xBAqMqpvel
— Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) December 20, 2013Well, a whole bunch of people joined in to say how awful this woman was, just because everyone secretly loves the game they played as children, when a group of kids would circle around and terrify and humiliate one kid who the group jointly decided was fair game for cruelty. Everyone loves joining in a group to destroy someone deemed "outsider."
And this ritual Pack Animal Frenzy Behavior bore fruit -- the woman's company has been apprised of her WordCrime, and they promise they'll take "appropriate action."
“This is an outrageous, offensive comment that does not reflect the views and values of IAC. Unfortunately, the employee in question is unreachable on an international flight, but this is a very serious matter and we are taking appropriate action.”
Isn't that wonderful?
By the way, Buzzfeed's article, headlined...
Internet Erupts After PR Woman For Media Firm Tweets A “Joke” About Getting AIDS In AfricaJustine Sacco is at the center of a massive Twitter storm after joking that white people can’t get AIDS.
...fails to acknowledge that Buzzfeed Editor Andrew Kaczinsky was a major player in ginning up this "internet eruption" and in calling the "Twitter storm" to savage Sacco.
So Buzzfeed created a clickbait "let's get this random stranger fired just to prove we have power" story, and then they publish that story and get traffic off it, without acknowledging that they are, in fact, key actors in all of this.
So, Sacco's on her way to Africa and doesn't even know that Buzzfeed has worked so diligently to bring her unauthorized Humorousness to the attention of her bosses.
Won't it be a lovely Christmas for her.
Aren't human beings just the most wonderful types of people?
Update: I forgot to mention this. Buzzfeed did a little more journalistic digging to find out what other Naughty Things this allegedly Free Citizen might have said in her past.
It's quite scandalous what they uncovered.
This is not the first time that Sacco has tweeted something that was professionally questionableÂ…
I can't be fired for things I say while intoxicated right?

I'm so glad we Told On Her.

You know what, if you weren't a shriveled up, racist, hateful little bitch, these jokes wouldn't bother you.
But, you are not--you are shriveled up, racist, hateful little bitches, so fuck you.

Actually, a fair number of white people can't get AIDS.
HIV uses a particular surface receptor on cells to gain entry. It's the same receptor used by the bubonic plague.
The world's white populations are largely descended from survivors of the huge and horrible waves of plague that swept through Europe, which imposed a very strong selective bias in favor of people whose genome did not code for that particular receptor.
Biological history is a funny thing.

There's another thing going on WRT the transmission of the virus in an African context, which is the local cultural preference of men for "dry" vaginal sex. Many African women will actually insert various dehydrative agents to keep their men happy.
The tissues of a dry vagina are far more likely to be torn during intercourse, allowing the virus to get at the bloodstream, and normal vaginal lubrication has antibacterial and antiviral properties which are also obviously lost due to this practice.

The Washington Post has broken a story that the U.S. government, specifically the NSA and the FBI, are accessing e-mails, photos, videos, and other personal data via its “Special Source Operations” – NSA talk for buddy-bud tech companies. The cooperators in this outed “PRISM” program are, according to the Post story, “nine leading U.S. Internet companies”: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple.
(Hey, good for AOL getting lumped into the category of “leading U.S. Internet companies.” No doubt they were super-psyched to see that.)

I listened to an interview with the notably idiotic Eve Ensler of _Vagina Monologues_ fame (on NPR, of course).
Ensler talked at length about the huge African gang rape epidemic and its utterly horrific effects upon African women and children. And she was firmly prepared to place blame where blame needed to be placed.
It was all the fault of, Ensler said, (drumroll)... THE PATRIARCHY.
Yes, rapes in Africa aren't the fault of African men. They're collectively the fault of all men, of all ethnicities, everywhere, throughout time and space.
You couldn't make this stuff up. You just could not, no matter how hard you tried.

Gay Chip goes into the doctor's office and has some tests run.
The doctor comes back and says, "Chip, I am not going to beat around the bush, You have AIDS."
Chip is devastated. "Doc, what can I do?"
The doctor says, "I want you to go home and eat 5 pounds of spicy sausage, a head of cabbage, 20 un-peeled carrots drenched in hot sauce, 10 Jalapeno peppers, 40 walnuts and 40 peanuts, 1/2 box of Grapenuts cereal, and top it off with a gallon of prune juice."
Chip asks, "Will that cure me,
Doc?" "No, but it should leave you with a better understanding of what your ass is for."
Chris Hayes could not be reached for comment.

It's past time we imposed Twitter control. 7-character limit so people can't be raciss over the Internets.

Me too. I had to sneak-listen to him because I wasn't allowed to listen to the devil's music. I loved Larry Lujack.

If they would only call it by its proper name, spinach, bacon and egg pie, it would be fine. But they had to tag it with that uber-ghey moniker.

My suggestion would be a lawsuit for inciting the action. Pretty sure there would be some right leaning lawyers willing to work pro-bono to test the legal waters here.
Doesn't matter if there is a case or not, just filing and forcing him to defend himself is sufficient to start pushing back.
We need to stop the snarky tweets and posts, and start fighting in ways that punish them economically for their actions.

"Well, a whole bunch of people joined in to say how awful this woman was, just because everyone secretly loves the game they played as children, when a group of kids would circle around and terrify and humiliate one kid who the group jointly decided was fair game for cruelty. Everyone loves joining in a group to destroy someone deemed "outsider.""
Boy, doesn't that describe the discourse around here many ONT's. I did want to say Ace I'm so very glad to see you seem to have recognized the issue here and dealt with it rather fairly recently
