Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland, who's 82 and white, has acknowledged in an email to his fellow police commissioners he used the racial slur in describing Obama.
WHOA!Town resident Jane O'Toole, who moved to Wolfeboro four months ago, said she overheard Copeland say the slur at a restaurant in March and wrote to the town manager about it. Copeland, in an email to her, acknowledged using the slur in referring to the president and said he will not apologize.
"I believe I did use the 'N' word in reference to the current occupant of the Whitehouse," Copeland said in the email to his fellow police commissioners, part of which he forwarded to O'Toole. "For this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such."

White people hate all non-white people. You see it in our eyes, you hear it in the tone we take. We only tolerate you less subhumans because we need people to mow our lawns and do our laundry.Stories like this just make me laugh because of how absurd the racists are. Even so, it's unfortunate that this guy is a Police Commissioner considering that the amount of power he has probably means that a fair amount of black people have been held back from jobs and promotions because of him. There's probably also been a fair amount of racism in police activity in his area due to him as well. That is the saddest part of this.
That said, the kind of racism demonstrated by stories like this is not the type of racism that concerns me. Such overt racism is mostly a relic of the past and it's literally dying out. What concerns me is the pervasive form of racism in our society that is more covert, or subtle. I'm talking about the type of racism expressed by the vast majority of white Americans where they tell denigrating racist jokes in one breath and then claim to be colorblind in the next.
No, modern racism isn't about hate. That's the point. If you're going to mock something, then at least understand it before you do.White people hate all non-white people.

Your story is an example of internalized racism. Next.A black guy and a white girl meet up on the dancefloor of a nightclub. They dance and dance until things start getting intemate. They get closer and closer and each one of them starts feeling hoter and hoter. At one point both of them just rush out to a cab to take them to her place. When arriving they rush up to her appartment whilest losing their clothes. As they arrive and the black guy is abbout to pull of his pants, she says: "Wait! Is it true what they say about black people?" He smiles and says: "Sure it is Baby"
Then he pulls out a knife, stabs her 3 ttimes and runs away with her purse.
That joke was told to me by a black guy, the son of Nigerian imigrants to Germany. Your entire notion of covert racism just reeks of over the top political correctness and moral policing.
What is the difference btween your views on inforcing moral obligations concerning race in language, and Rick Santorum who wants a catholic gestapo wathing you have sex?

This old dude meets and exceeds my criteria for being a jackass, but since he's 82 years old we probably won't hear many more reports about him.
I won't do all the work for you.How does this joke suposedly show an attitude considering that what is made fun of is an inherint trait of a race???
If anything, comedy mocks such attributes.

One of the most ridiculous and unsubstantiated posts I've ever seen on racism.
Don't you believe that people don't keep their thoughts and feelings inside of them for years? You know, covertly? Pretending to be accepting while not really being accepting of different people?
It's actually substantiated by a plethora of research on modern racism in the United States which is much more credible than whatever anecdotal evidence forms your views on race.One of the most ridiculous and unsubstantiated posts I've ever seen on racism.
That works great for politics and those who want to live their lives as paranoids.

I must have worked for this guy then. He didn't develop his point of view overnight.
