A Republican precinct chairman in North Carolina was asked to resign Thursday after making racially inflammatory comments during a 'Daily Show' interview on Wednesday, WRAL reported.
Buncombe GOP Chair Henry Mitchell said Don Yelton resigned for making remarks that were "offensive, uniformed and unacceptable of any member within the Republican Party."
In an interview centered on North Carolina's voter ID law conducted by the Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi, Yelton criticized "lazy black people that wants the government to give them everything."
"The bottom line is the law is not racist," Yelton said.

Something about intent?
Lazy college students. Lazy blacks. I just watched the video via the N&O and I'm stunned. Not that people don't think this way, but that these MFers control this state. I hope to God there's a way out in 2014 and 2016.
