Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres was the target of the social justice brigade after she tweeted a photo of herself riding on the back of Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.




De Generes said that she is "highly aware of the racism that exists in our country" but that's "the furthest thing from who I am."

The original picture of Bolt went viral, showing him smiling at the camera as he ran to win the gold medal.

DeGeneres regularly photoshops herself into images and posts them on Twitter. Do you think Ellen's tweet is racist?
