Fla.Republican apologizes for being forced to use the N word.

I may have used the 'N' word while trying to protect myself from the immediate threat," writes Wilton Manors Commissioner Ted Galatis, after he and his wife were involved in a road-rage incident near his home Sunday night.
"I apologize for my use of the 'N' word," he goes on to say. "It is something I never say. I offer no excuse, other than it was uttered when I was being threatened in front of my own home."

According to a police report released on Thursday, Galatis and his wife were leaving the Publix on Oakland Park Boulevard when they were followed by another car that began honking at them. Galatis told cops that he got out to confront the occupants in the car, who were all black.

The occupants in the car said that Galatis, 52, began using the racial slur in a fit of rage.

"[Driver] stated that T Galatis began calling her and her passengers 'N_____' and at that point she requested for police to respond," the police report reads. "[Driver] stated that she was upset that T Galatis called her and the passengers of her vehicle 'N____' and did not want him to get away with it."
