One of AT&T's presidents was fired following a company investigation into claims he sent a racist meme to a friend ...via text.

TMZ broke the story ... Aaron Slator -- AT&T's President of Content and Ad Sales -- was sued by a former employeewho claimed Slator's assistant found the text ... showing a dancing African child with the words, "It's Friday N****s."

The employee filed a racial discrimination suit for $100 million ... claiming Slator had it out for African Americans.

A company rep tells TMZ, "Aaron Slator has been terminated. There is no place for demeaning behavior within AT&T and we regret the action was not taken earlier."

Interestingly, the employee's lawsuit claimed AT&T knew about the meme, but never took action against Slator.

Slator had been a key player in the pending merger between AT&T and DirecTV.

Wait wait wait...

So someone at the company, went through his phone, found some shyt he sent privately to another person in his phone, and they fired him for it?

Edit: Read the whole article. He used his work phone to send it. Axe the mf-er.

Sounds like justice to me :ehh:
