NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The legislative aide of Republican Senator Diane Black of Gallatin said she received a letter of reprimand for sending a racist email but will stay on the job, although some lawmakers now want her fired.

The email includes a photo that depicts all the presidents of the United States with President Barack Obama in the lower right corner as a pair of eyes peering out of a black background.

Sherri Goforth on Monday confirmed she sent the email and repeatedly apologized for sending it to the "wrong list."

"I went on the wrong email and I inadvertently hit the wrong button," Goforth told Nashville is Talking. "I'm very sick about it, and it's one of those things I can't change or take back." (wkrn)
