I'm firing myself: Ad agency founder tells 650 staff after racist remarks
US advertising firm Richards Group's Founder Stan Richards has resigned after he described an ad concept as "too black" for a motel chain's "significant White supremacist constituents". "If this was a publicly held company, I'd be fired for the comments I made. But we're not public, so I am firing myself," the 88-year-old told the company's 650 employees.
