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 town’s 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 town’s police officers are black, or members of any other minority.

When a group of people call themselves and each other the “N” word on regular daily basis they shouldn’t get too upset when others refer to them with the same word. Maybe now blacks will think twice about referring to each other as “N” this and “N” that.
Whites don’t call each other “cracka”
Jews don’t call each other “Kikes”
Hispanics don’t call each other “Beaners”
A close Nigerian friend, now an American, once told me, “call me black or negro, but not nigger.” But his point wasn’t racism in itself, it is that he didn’t want to be identified with the underclass that has been generated, beginning in earnest with the Great Society. Like many Nigerians in the US, he has achieved considerable financial success and has an adoring wife and family.
BTW, to the NSA or other policing agencies, I was quoting the other guy who used the N-word. I don’t use it, because it doesn’t promote conversation, no matter who uses it.
Good. Finally someone with some backbone. Obama himself has been heard calling people ‘that’ word.
“What if you used it as a “greeting”? Why is that suddenly a bad thing? Who makes these rules anyway and why are we obliged to follow them?”
I think I’d have to be ready for a confrontation. I guess we are “obliged to follow them” unless we want to have a fist fight!
“Why do you suppose it’s okay for blacks to use the n word and call whites honkies?”
As far as the n-word goes, I think blacks use it in a different context. It can be a term of endearment for them. I don’t think “honkies” is used in the same manner. If it’s meant to demean whites—I doubt they mean it as term of endearment—then it’s no better than the n-word. Both are generally inappropriate, much like cursing only harsher. Their use often reflects more negatively on the speaker than the target in my opinion.
Looks like he’s resigned.
WOLFEBORO, N.H. — Town officials confirmed Monday that the 82-year-old police commissioner who was heard publicly calling President Obama the n-word — sparking nationwide outrage — has tendered his resignation.
Not clear if it was a work e-mail or personal email.
It's the latest *I dare you* script from the left.
And other than race what are his criteria?
About 20 black people live in Wolfeboro, a town of 6,300 in central New Hampshire, a state that's 94 percent white and 1 percent black. None of the police department's 12 full-time officers is black or a member of another minority.
A resident said she overheard Copeland use a slur in a restaurant in March and wrote to the town manager. Copeland, in an email to her, acknowledged using the slur in referring to the president
Fore see the time ‘racist’ becomes a badge of honor and a rally point.......
“The N-word is only ascribed when the behavior matches the skin color. Even blacks know this. “

B.S.
But why do blacks have a different standard of behavior?
ladyjane: “But why do blacks have a different standard of behavior?”
I don’t know. Maybe it’s because they can. To tell the truth, white liberals seem to get more outraged by the n-word than many blacks.
There are all sorts of words that could be bad or good depending on context. I could call my wife the “old lady” as a term of endearment. I could also use it in a way that’s meant as a complaint or to demean her.
I just heard this myself!
