Former Ferguson City Court Clerk Mary Ann Twitty said Tuesday she was caught unawares when the city fired her for racist emails following a Department of Justice investigation into the city’s law enforcement practices, and believes she was made the scapegoat.

“It took me a while to get over the feeling of being ? and being thrown under the bus,” she told KMOV in her first interview since losing her job. “I feel like I was the sacrificial lamb.”

She added that if everyone who sent racist emails were fired they’d “have to shut the doors.” “It went on all the time.”

Twitty oversaw the collection of fines from court citations, which the DOJ said functioned in Ferguson as a racist collection agency that preyed on the town’s African-American community, though she maintains she had no role in setting the fines. She said there was no effort on the part of the city or the police department to target minorities or reach revenue quotas.

The DOJ investigation resulted in the firing or resignation of numerous employees, including the municipal judge, who was blamed by money for the exorbitant fines. New judge Roy Richter began his tenure last month by lowering the fines.

Twitty did say she understands how the emails look bad in retrospect, but insisted she meant nothing racist by it.

“It’s ruined my name, it’s devastated me,” Twitty said. “I’m not that person that they’re saying I am…It’s not like I personally sent them out or forwarded them to the police officers to hurt anyone or be racist. Because I’m not racist…I’m human. I meant nothing bad by it.”

    ......and immediately throws everybody else under the bus

    “It’s ruined my name, it’s devastated me,” Twitty said. “I’m not that person that they’re saying I am…It’s not like I personally sent them out or forwarded them to the police officers to hurt anyone or be racist. Because I’m not racist…I’m human. I meant nothing bad by it.”

    It's hilarious that White people SHUTTER at the idea of being labeled a racist. I remember in the 8th grade in Spanish class...some kinda way we had deviated from the lesson and started having this discussion about race and society. Our teacher was this cool ass younger white lady.

    She said that the "n-word" is the worst thing to call a Black person but the worst thing you can call a white person is a "racist". And it's sooo true.

    That always stuck with me..like why are y'all not ashamed of BEING racist...saying racist things..acting racist. But are more ashamed of OWNING racism. I had dropped the video in the social lounge a little while back about the Black woman confronting a full-hooded klansmen who denied vehemently (while wearing his robes and hood) that he was a racist. The ? is crazy and quite fascinating. Colleges offer African American studies..man ? that I want them to offer White People studies courses. That's who needs to be studied.

    Lol then they try to prove that they're not racist, all while making it worse in the process lol.

    "I'm not racist, I've had 5 black people at my house! And they were nice black people!"

    ? is a bold face lie every ? city does the bold especially the underlined. Why even lie about departments wanting to reach quotas for tickets when everybody already knows that is what they do?
