Penny Sparrow, this is Twitter…Twitter, this is Penny
Twitter has responded to racial comments by Penny Sparrow in true form, but are we looking at the bigger picture?
A REAL estate agent by the name of Penny Sparrow is officially the hottest topic on radio, Facebook and Twitter this morning.
This after a racially fueled status update on Facebook was noticed by the Twitter-verse, going viral within minutes:
She posted this apology soon after:
Metro FM decided to give Penny Sparrow a third chance to prove to South Africans that she is not in fact the worst person of the moment but she blew it. Firstly by calling the radio station “black people’s radio”, then telling Phat Joe she couldn’t believe he was black because he “speaks so well” and proceeding to defend her comments once again saying they will blow over by the end of the week.
Well, true to form as we witnessed with Clive Naidoo, Twitter responded in style:

Dear #PennySparrow. I am "fearfully & wonderfully made in the image of God". I still like Bananas though. pic.twitter.com/NCUyYtBKhk

While the responses are hilarious, it does form part of a much more serious issue.
