Oh, puhleeeeze. Don't insult our intelligence Mayor Grose.
After sending a photoshopped pic of the White House surrounded by a watermelon patch by e-mail with the caption "No Easter Egg Hunt this year," and after the recipient of that e-mail complained, Grose said that he didn't mean to offend her. He said he was unaware of the racial stereotype that black people like watermelons.


Riiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhttttttt.

That doesn't pass the smell test, the giggle test, or any other test you want to apply to that statement.


What a prick.

3. Wasn't there a racist watermelon thing from a GOP Leader during the election?
and the idiot woman claimed she didn't know this was racial sterotyping?

6. He's done now. Resigned today.
I doubt it was 'funny' when he sent it. I'd think it is less 'funny' now.
