WORLD CUP 2014: Ellen Degeneres Slammed For 'Ignorant' US Vs Ghana Tweet!!!

Being a respected celebrity, one would expect award winning talk show host, Ellen Degeneres to know better. The 56 year old has been slammed as ignorant and disrespectful after making a controversial joke during the USA Vs Ghana World Cup match.

After America's Clint Demsey scored the opening goal just 32 seconds into the game, Ellen took to twitter to express her pride......

"Go USA! Fastest goal in US World Cup History in the USvsGhana game. 32 Seconds! It took me longer to look up where Ghana is" she tweeted.





I guess Ellen thought it was funny but the African communities are not laughing. Minutes after she posted the tweet she faced so much backlash that she had to take the tweet down....











Well, that was dumb Ellen and it's good that you took the tweet down but how about an apology for being so ignorant, insensitive and disrespectful...... How would you feel if i made an homophobic joke?  I'm sure you would have been all up in my business also. So, we demand an apology and we want it now!!!
