Think Before You Tweet

Today a young lady by the name of Jessica Leandra got introduced to Karma and her good friend, Consequence. Jessica, a former FHM model, has made a name for herself not by taking her clothes off but by being a little racist cow.
On Thursday evening, she went to her local Spar where a black man apparently made lewd comments about her appearance. Instead of just calling him a d***head or something, she went onto Twitter and threw around the k-word (I feel so juvenile writing that but I'm not about to repeat what she said). The worst part, I think, is the half-assed "apology" that she put on her blog (which can be seen here). I don't know which part of her little tirade that I find most offensive. Her language and racist attitude or her excuse that she was angry and that she was standing up against those men that "are the kinds of people that land up raping young girls of our country". I have to admit, I really don't like the implication that all black men are rapists. As a result, she has been stripped (ha ha) of some of her sponsorship deals and of her FHM title, whatever that might be.
It's really sad that this 20 year old girl has made a complete fool of herself in front of the whole Twitterverse. Not only is her idiocy trending on Twitter but a couple of people are talking about filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission against Jessica for hate speech.
So, in a moment of anger, this silly twit has messed up her life for the foreseeable future. Well done, babe. In a few short hours, this chick has shot her future to s***.
Moral of the story: think before you tweet. What you do in the heat of the moment could turn around to bite you in the butt.
