Was it becasue Mitt Romney said so?
Mitt Romney, the former GOP presidential nominee and a former Massachusetts governor, owns a home in Wolfeboro and had called for Copeland’s resignation, saying “the vile epithet used and confirmed by the commissioner has no place in our community.”
Then there’s this from the same AP article; does it sound like they are still trying to paint the town as racist to you?
About 20 black people live year-round in Wolfeboro, in the scenic Lakes Region of New Hampshire, a state that’s 94 percent white and 1 percent black. None of the town police department’s 12 full-time officers is black or a member of another minority.
