Faced by a hundred angry residents calling for his resignation, a Wolfeboro police commissioner staunchly refused to apologize or resign after referring to President Obama using the n-word.
According to an article in the Boston Globe, Robert J. Copeland, 82, one of three commissioners in the small town on the shores of Lake Winnepesaukee, used the racial slur in an email to the other commissioners.
I believe I did use the N-word in reference to the current occupant of the White House, Copeland said. For this, I do not apologize he meets and exceeds my criteria for such.
Copeland was re-elected to a second three-year term two months ago.
Of the towns 6,300 year-round residents, about 20 are black. New Hampshire as a whole is 94 percent white and about 1 percent black. None of the towns police officers are black, or members of any other minority.

Romney, and his vicious pro-OBama and pro-Soros Team,
were behind the Globe article lambasting the man
for a PRIVATE conversation.
SSDD.
Does the author identify the offender as a Republican or Conservative or Tea Party Blogger or any such thing?
Typically that sort of affiliation is mentioned within the first 4 or 5 words. But, in this case, it wasn't.
Curious.
It was a private conversation and no one else’s business.
Exactly. 0 has been "judged by the content of his character". (or lack thereof).
The N-word is only ascribed when the behavior matches the skin color. Even blacks know this. There are times when honesty needs to be brutal especially when it is warranted and well deserved. Hey call me a cracka all you want; it’s not going to offend me one iota because it’s not true and it’s only a word...
“Nebbish”?
No it’s “creepy asz cracka”
If you 'hear' something, say something.
People in Red England are more likely to spy on their neighbors than any other region of the country. (Source: 'Day America Told the Truth'.)
Based on my experience; that statement is true.
“The N-word is only ascribed when the behavior matches the skin color.”
I understand your point but that doesn’t make the word any better. If the N-word applied strictly to a behavior and was used without regard to skin color, it would probably be OK. Terms like lazy, Marxist scumbag might be more appropriate, because they’re free of racist connotations.
I respect it so much when someone refuses to apologize when it’s demanded that they do so. That defeats the whole purpose of apologizing, even if one is truly sorry.
Must be “narcissist”. What else could it be.
Oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth over truth and double standards.
More appropriate, if not more accurate, sure. In and of itself there’s nothing wrong with a racist connotation if it isn’t in-fact racist.
It’s an adjective, just like “white POS”, “white trash”, “cracka”, “trailer trash”, etc.
Just because I refer to someone as a nigger doesn’t mean I dislike all blacks. I only dislike the target of my ire.
This is purely anecdotal but I seem to have heard the n-word spoken much more in the last 5 - 6 years.
Can’t account for it though.
I believe I did use the N-word in reference to the current occupant of the White House, Copeland said. For this, I do not apologize he meets and exceeds my criteria for such.
Ooooohhhhh, no...I’m afraid the correct word is “NAGGER, yeah, nagger.”
But thank you for playing.
I understand uour point but maybe he said it because he wanted it to sting. Now this is not a word I use but I can understand why they might use it to describe one of the most evil and contemptable to ever walk the face of the earth.
Lol
At 82
EFF em
U go boy
Can I say boy?
Comments, x?
Hmmmm. That works at least as well as nebbish!
Terms like lazy, Marxist scumbag might be more appropriate, because theyre free of racist connotations.

Actually they’re not...... not in the minds of people who just have to play the race card. I like “Marxist scumbag”, but when I use it (note: “when” not “if”) I’m accused of using that term about Dear Leader just because he’s Black. You can’t win.
