CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Some residents of a predominantly white New Hampshire town are upset with racist remarks a police commissioner made about President Barack Obama.

Resident Jane O'Toole said she overheard Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland use a racial slur in describing Obama. And in an email to her, Copeland, who is white, acknowledged using the N-word 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 an excerpt from an email he sent to his fellow police commissioners acknowledging his remark and then forwarded to O'Toole. "For this, I do not apologize — he meets and exceeds my criteria for such."

Copeland also wrote: "While I believe the problems associated with minorities in this country are momentous, I am not phobic."

Copeland is one of three members of the police commission, which hires, fires and disciplines officers and sets their salaries. Copeland, 82, ran unopposed for re-election to the commission and secured another three-year term on March 11.

My great grandmother used to tell me that I have no right to complain about things I shouldn't be listening to in the first place.

There are fine Black Americans who contribute much to society.

There are also N’s. Who self-identify. It is not hard to tell the difference.

It is high time that this difference be acknowledged and acted upon.

She was right. MY son listened to a phone call from one of his sons....He was upset and I told him that phone call was none of his business. No sympathy from me...If you don’t want to be upset, don’t eavesdrop on others conversations...

He’s 82 years old. He can say anything he wants. In fact, so can I.

And you are right to doubt it.

I wonder if Ms. O’Toole has ever worked for the NSA?
