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.
This is how I’m running errands from now on. #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/gYPtG9T1ao

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.
@TheEllenShow despite its intentions this pic has ugly connotations comin from a rich white lady

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