Dog the Bounty Hunter is cancelled

Following Duane “Dog” Chapman’s racist tirade, A&E has decided to suspend Dog the Bounty Hunter indefinitely. The network issued this statement today.
“In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take Dog The Bounty Hunter’ off the network’s schedule for the foreseeable future. We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.â€
To make matters worse, the recorded phone call was sold to The National Enquirer by Dog’s own son for “a lot of money.” It was the proverbial nail in the coffin for Dog’s career. Oh well, he had a good run and he and his sense of style, best described as Captain Planet meets Native American, will be missed, but not by much. Actually, not at all. In fact, he could be on fire tomorrow and the only thing people would do is quietly walk by, ignoring his screams of pain or, if someone was really, really, REALLY nice, they would pee on him.

Somehow I dont think his son will be at the dinner table this thanksgiving…
Fabulous news!!!!
He was garbage plain and simple. Lala, I co-sign with you. He got exactly what he deserved. I’m so tired of people runnin’ around using the excuse, “well if rappers call themselves the N-word, why can’t non-black people do it?” Look, it’s wrong either way people!!!!!!!! And besides NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE CONDONE THE USE OF THIS WORD!!! So while it may not matter to some, I guarantee you it matters to the majority and not the very few who fail to understand the pain behind the word. YOU CAN NOT REDEFINE A WORD LIKE THE N-WORD, I DON”T CARE WHO YOU ARE!!! When rappers do it, it is wrong, WE ALL know its wrong, so instead of whining about why they get away with it, call them on their shit. Protest, do something!!! A&E had to can this idiot, because they would stand to loose millions of dollars, advertisers had already begun to pull their ads. Plus, they sure as hell didn’t want to deal with “Hot perm” Sharpton and Sleezy Jackson raisin’ hell.
I think that Dog is a racist!!! Let me give everyone a history lesson; that word was created by a white person (Master) to degrade black slaves. Over time the word has been used on a regular basis; was adopted and is used in context in the black community. For example (black use: hey nigga, white use: you black nigger) It’s a difference!! If whites use this word they are automatically considered racists. Why, because you guys use it in a offensive way. If anyone watched the White Rapper show, there was a white girl on the show and she used the “N” word. She grew up around blacks and when she used it, it was used in the correct context. I thought she did a great job using the “N” word but by her growing up around blacks she said it in a way that was offensive to some, but not to blacks because she used it in the correct context. Dog didn’t even meet the girl his son was dating he just knew she was black. So what does that say????? She was on CNN Headline News. If whites really understood what that word means you would understand. But of course you guys will never understand!!! That is the world we live in; monkey see, monkey do!!!
I cant believe all you racist pigs are making excuses for this man.
Get a clue, morons.. who cares if it was a private conversation. Its no longer private, and it shows a racist side of a man who, through his show, has become a public figure. This is not different from a promoter deciding not to carry a racist singer, comedian, or other entertainer because the public has now seen that racist side of them.
Its the entertainment business. Get a clue. Once the public sees you’re a racist your image takes a hit. Advertisers dont want to get boycotted. A&E doesnt want to get boycotted for supporting him, etc. He brough this on himself.
Make excuses for it all you want, but when you tell your child they’re fired from the family business for dating black person, and you’re repeatedly using the word n*gger over and over, maybe its because… youre a RACIST!!
No sympathy here. good riddance.
he got what he deserved
To me this is just a case of some weasel playing “gotcha.” These weasels run around with recorders and minicams just praying that they can really put it to someone. Their whole life seems to be tied up in an attempt to ruin someone else’s. What a bunch of pathetic creeps they are. Also, would someone please tell me why a white American cannot use the same word that black Americans use. If you are annoyed by a word don’t listen to the person. If you are annoyed by a TV show turn it off. If you are annoyed by certain types of musice don’t listen to it. In other words live your own life and quit trying to tell me what I can and cannot do.
Dog has done a lot of good, and has even treated criminals humanely. I hope that the public and the tv station can forgive him and they bring him back soon.
Who are any of us to cast the first stone?????????
So the man says a bad word and loses his job over it? So the PC, multi-culti, intolerant tolerance folks can rack up another point for themselves on this one… According to all the leading rappers, there’s nothing wrong with the n word. Additionally, this was a private conversation between father and son; so, first, isn’t it against the law to tape someones conversation without their knowledge?, and secondly, doesn’t Dog have some expectation of privacy?
Please bring Dog Chapman back on the air. I don’t believe he is racist, this was simply a private conversation between him and his son. Dog does a wonderful job getting criminals off of the streets. I think his apologizes are very sincere and you should place him back on the air. Please remember that Dog is only human and yes humans do make mistakes, but let us not judge him as he will be judged in the end by some one more powerful. I think he will continue to work on this and will continue doing a great for his career as well as for the airing. Just knowing that we are human we do fall and slip but yes we can pick ourselves up and yes I do believe that Dog Chapman will be able to improve. But let us not forget that in the good book a follower sold his father out for silver. Please don’t let this be another instance of just selling someone out. I hope you can find it in your hearts to give him a second chance. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance in life.
I completely agree! African Americans can call us whities and make up all sorts of names to call us without getting into any trouble but when one white man says NI***R he gets into all sorts of trouble. Think about whos really being discriminated agenst here!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please respond to this I want to know what you think
