Please note: Claiming that you are "unaware of the racial stereotype that black people like watermelons" is not a viable excuse for sending out a hi-LAR-ious email depicting the White House lawn planted with said melons (image and initial story over here). Even if—especially if—you're a mayor. Mr. Grose, don't let the door etc.
