The president of the Maricopa County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has resigned after making a filthy remark caught on video to a TV reporter:

Don Harris, who had been heading NAACP’s local chapter in Arizona for 13 months, had come under fire for telling a TV reporter Monique Griego, “nice t**s.” The cameras were off when Harris said his comments but a reporter from the Phoenix New Times captured it on his audio recorder.

He apologized for the sexist comment, saying that it was a "stupid thing to say" and that he "screwed up."

“Am I sorry? You bet I’m sorry,” he told ABC15. 

“The Maricopa County branch NAACP continues to work on issues that are paramount to our community,” the chapter said in a statement. “The mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational social and economic equality of rights of all persons.”

Harris said he would rather quit than be a distraction.

"My overall thought process was I just didn't want to hurt the organization and take a protracted stance here that would tear it apart,” Harris told The Arizona Republic. “The best thing is to go away."
