North Carolina’s top liquor regulator resigned Tuesday after sending an e-mail that reportedly showed a watermelon patch outside an altered photo of the White House.

Gov. Beverly Perdue demanded and received the resignation of Alcoholic Beverage Commission Chairman Douglas A. Fox after the e-mail mocking the first black U.S. president was shown to Perdue’s staff.

“I have accepted Doug Fox’s letter of resignation. E-mails and images of this nature are offensive and unacceptable,” Perdue said in a statement.

    wow really? it is 2009 racism is still a problem yes but we have came a long way. Its like I tell my friends and family, these days the chances of you seeing younger kids like my son and daughters age that are not mixed with something is slim to none, I say we are all the same color when you turn out the lights and we all bleed red blood, besides that black men and women produce some pretty ass babies, just look at mine!!!

    The day and age has nothing to do with it because humanity will always have ignorance and racism. We as black people need to realize that it’s not just a thing of the 60s or 70s.
