The chair of Columbia University's Department of Psychiatry was suspended on Wednesday as he apologized for tweeting a 'racist and sexist' comment describing a dark-skinned model as 'a freak of nature.' Jeffery Lieberman had replied to a tweet on Monday falsely referring to Sudanese model Nyakim Gatwech, 29, as 'the Guinness Book of World Records' holder for person with the darkest skin on Earth, something Guinness does not track. 'Whether a work of art or freak of nature she's a beautiful sight to behold,' Lieberman tweeted about Gatwech, who is known as the 'Queen of Dark.'
