Example 2.2
ОглавлениеIn a social media example, TV personality Rosanne Barr, referring to President Obama's former aide Valerie Jarrett, tweeted, “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” Shortly thereafter, the ABC network canceled Barr's show. She attributed her reckless comments to being on the sedative Ambien. Several weeks later, in an interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Barr reflected on her racist tweet. She remarked, “And what can I do now except say of course, I'm not a racist, I'm an idiot. And I might have done something that comes across as bigoted and ignorant, and I know that's how it came across. And you know, I asked for forgiveness ‘cause I do love all people, I really do.”
