In America, a Twitter apology is not enough. Not when racism is the issue.
MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry has made a tearful on-air apology to Mitt Romney after a segment aired which poked fun at the former Republican Party presidential candidate's adopted black grandson Kieran Romney.

She also apologised for hurt caused to other interracial families.
