Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres defended herself on Tuesday after some claimed that a humorous Usain Bolt tweet sent out from her social media accounts a day earlier was racist.

*snip*

DeGeneres’ popular Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts often feature funny images that have been altered to include her. On Monday, her accounts sent out a picture of her riding on Bolt’s back during Sunday’s 100 meter semifinal with the suggestion she’d like to use the Jamaican sprinter’s word-class speed to get her errands done faster.

So even Ellen DeGeneres finds that she is not immune from charges of racism.

I take no pleasure in this. Instead, I hope this incident will help contribute to the public finally reaching a breaking point, and saying to the PC police, "Shut up already. Just shut up."

I’ll bet she was using a whip, too.

Filthy, stinking racist.

I totally concur with that.
“Oh, get over yourselves!” (I’ve love to hear Ellen say.)

Liberals hoisting liberals on liberal petards is ALWAYS enjoyable in my book.

Sauce for the goose.

Nah, Ellen needs to stew in it, and see what the rest of us have to put up with.

Ellen might want to buy a sedan chair and hire four unemployed black men to carry her around and then she can she’s “helping”.

I hope Bolt has the good sense of humor to, the next time he does her show, run on stage with her on his back.

Can she absolutely prove that the image below was manipulated?
Perhaps she really did do this to him and degraded him in the process!

I’m happy that “one of theirs” is getting the treatment. But comedy is truly dead.

Her ugly is beyond skin deep. But the evil in ‘high places’ gave her access to our airwaves. Perverts control the airwaves.
