Dog the Bounty Hunter is cancelled

Hey everyone, i am canadian (east indian) and i love americans. I have some
relatives in the states and i have been down there quiet a few times.
i know that slavery has damaged
americas history (and yes ofcourse slavery was wrong, obviously) but aside
from that i think America has a great history. I mean how can a country not be great
when it was built by such honorable men as General washington and Benjamin Franklin.
I think those men represented what real Americans are all about and that is what i think
of when i think about Americans.
I think the most of the Americans are good hearted
people. They have carved a nation out of woods and snow and made it the #1 country
in the world. It is a previlige for me to be living in a wonderful country as Canada
and i do not take this country or its people for granted.
It is really easy for all minorities to criticize whites for being racist but
they need to look at themselves first. I mean you wana talk about racism just go down
to india. My people are racist to the bone towards the popele of lower castes (and these
are their own countrymen). But coutrys like canada, usa, england, france etc. are the
first countries that are trying to give equality and oppertunity to people of all nations.
So in my opinion
most Americans are wonderful people who are really easy to get along with as long
as they see you have character and they like you as a person. And to those Americans
who are actually racist, please read your history and see where you people came from
and what honor and courage your country was built with and treat your great
country with the respect that it deserves by representing it in the best manner
possible. And i think the dog the bounty hunter human and he has made a mistake, like
all do. Big deal.

To J,

AS a black man myself, I’m less concerned with what a white man thinks about me that I am what I think of my own people. We have embarrassed and disgraced those that sacrificed in order for us to achieve the level of freedom and acceptance that we have now. Look around you and see what we have become. The days of the poor little black boy trying to get an education and being blocked by armed guards posted on the school house steps are long gone. Today the majority of our youth praise and seek to achieve ignorance and disrespect. Hoodlums walk the streets with their pants hanging down around their asses, doorags on with swap meet gold in their mouths. In some parts of the country, black slang has become so unintelligible, it’s like we have reverted back to the days of the Neanderthal, grunting and squawking to communicate.

I understand your point and feel your pain but at what point do we attribute our behavior to the continuing animosity that some feel towards us? Sure what Dog said may be offensive at face value but I know for a fact that I’ve said things a lot worse than that whenever I have encountered ignorant, loudmouthed, disrespectful black folk, who I’m sure by their own accounts are just “keeping it real” He wasn’t on TV promoting the hatred of blacks or anyone else but in a private conversation with his son, he was “keeping it real” I know just the type of black people he was referring to and I wouldn’t want my son to bring one of them home either. If we had more Charles Drew’s and George Washington Carver’s and less 50 Cents and Snoop Dog’s, maybe Dog would have been planning a wedding instead.

Well I guess your right, and I should just all get over it. We should all just let everyone praise bigotry and move on. Nobody should be held accountable for ones actions, we should all support this type of behavior and tell our children that this type of thing is O.k., we as minority should not allow ourselves to get upset and just stay in our place. “Yes it sucks that there is racism, but it exists in all races even within the races”. The word Asshole and Bastard hold the same historical connotation as the N-word. Lets just let everything blow over for DOG and maybe one day it might be O.k to bring back slavery and lynching. (sarcasm ends) I’m kinda glad this happend, because for the first time since the 60’s most people are speaking there mind about how they really feel about us blacks.

This is so stupid. Yes he said a bad thing. We all do it all the time. If you can honestly tell me you have never called someone a bastard or an asshole you are just awesome or you have never driven down the freeway at 6 oclock in rush hour traffic. People are judging someone based on something he said, he didnt go and burn a cross in her front yard did he? Yes it sucks that there is racism, but it exists in all races even within the races. We should all be so lucky to live a hate free world but is that even possible with people not being able to forgive????The best thing we can do is move on, hell Don Imus got his job back and he said some pretty nasty things too. Just start practing what we all complain about and maybe the world will be a better place for our kids to live in. I love Dog and watch his show all the time, and hope he gets to come back after some time away.

I can’t believe that nobody is appalled by this bigot except me. As an 8 year old boy I was the victim of this same type of verbal hatred when I was called a dirty little n*gger by a middle aged white woman, not to mention by numerous white classmates. Their actions that not only hurt my young feelings but made me realize that I would never be seen as an equal by some of my fellow citizens. Can somebody please tell me the date that RACISM was eliminated and wiped out because I seemed to have missed that date in my history books?

*claps*I couldnt have said it better Tracy!!

And for everone else there is something wrong with the N word, The H word, The C word, the S word. All of them! Remove them from your talk. Don’t teach it to your kids! Just because rappers say it does not make it right! They are not spokespersons for Black America! that is the music of rebellious youth. Not all black people talk this way and the generalizing of a race is insulting. This is not music they will look back on 20 yrs from now and be proud of such as in the days of motown. they have taken the hip hop culture and distorted it into something ugly.

This is for Bill Johnson. Bottom line Dog’s statement was very hurtful private or not. Do not think that because your mom was assaulted by a black man that the rest of the race was cheering about it. I would have been in line to cut his dick off! It is sad to hear that because of this your family now hates an entire race of people based opon the actions of one individual. The most disturbing part of Dog’s tirade is that he said the children said it. Perpetuating the cycle of hate. I have friends and family of different nationalities to my house on a regular basis. I never had to curtail the way I talk because I do not talk that way. A lot of good white people died fighting for the freedom of my people in the 1800’s and for our civil rights in the 1900’s right along with black people. There are good and bad people of all races. The healing has to start somewhere. Why not with us? My son called a little girl a racial slur at 6 yrs old and I tore his ass up!!! He is 20 yrs old and I can tell you he remembers that one ass whipping and why I did it. Guess what? Racism cannot be tolerated! We are Americans and have to look out for one another!

I do think he is very wrong, i mean if my son dated a black girl and he pissed me off to a boiling point “NI**ER” would never come from my mouth, its a difference if the man used a word black girl or minority or sum stuff but damn NI**ER is a messed up word that doomed african americans for 400 years come on when is every one finally going to be civilized enough and intelligient enough to have a decent argument!

I am White and I think this is just another example of PC causing racism and resentment. My mother was sexually assaulted twice by a Black man. Does anyone think that the N word has never come out of my mouth and my family member’s mouthes? Give me a break. Dog’s conversation was a private conversation that should have not been taped. His little bastard son should have his ass kicked and the show should not be gone. Just a bunch of crap.

I am a white woman with an African American husband. I do not believe that Dog is a racist. I believe people are blowing this thing way out of proportion. How would the rest of us like it if our private phone conversations were recorded and aired for the whole nation? We all say things that can be misconstrued. And being in a bi-racial relationship I understand what he meant by using the word. He is right about one thing, if a black person says it to another black person it is ok, but now matter how cool or in touch with the black community we white people think we are, we are still not allowed to say it. I think it was wrong and that his show should not be canceled. We all love and respect Dog and his family and we are grateful for the criminals they protect society from.

Are you kidding me?! the man says a million curse words on the air, and that’s fine, but he uses one politcally incorrect word in a PRIVATE phone conversation with his son, who sold him out. I don’t like the word he used any more than the next guy, but seriously, he’s going to lose his career over this? can we say SET UP? this whole thing is just stupid.

I AM AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMAN. I am not angry with you Dog. I AM JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED!

A man of God does NOT even entertain the thought of using a racial slur, as that type of language can be hurtful. The appropriate thing would have been to teach your family to NEVER use such slurs, thereby having nothing to hide. The use of this word truly comes from YOUR HEART, as it is a part of your daily life — what YOU truly believe!! It was bound to come to the surface. What you do in the dark, ultimately comes to light. I AM NOT ANGRY, JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Dog you are a mullet-headed ho!!

HA HA you MULLET WEARING BASTARD ASS!!!

“Somehow I dont think his son will be at the dinner table this thanksgiving…”

XD

Yeah, I’m thinking no too. :P

I believe that racism is still around everywhere yet it is silent. The fact that african americans use the N word does not justify the usage of the word.
if anything it allows for others to degrade them as they do eachother. I dont care if they use it as slang and feel its ok to use among eachother but bottom line is to get respect you have to earn it and throwing the word around left and right doesnt help the whole get rid of the N word situation. My son is a quarter black and if i ever hear him using that word i will make sure that is the first and last time i hear it outta his mouth. As for Bounty hunter , you get what u deserve and you got caught slipping sadly by your own son maybe outta anger or revenge for his dislikes about the race he chooses to date. We all have to work towards getting rid of that negative word and sadly some pay tougher consequences than others for the use of it.

This is a perfect example of how society has degraded into a rotting cesspool of ignrance and greed. Dog didn’t do this to himself, his ungrateful son did it to him. As a black man, I take offense to what he said but I can also understand and even empathize with the feelings behind his remarks. He built up a lifestyle for himself and his family and he has strong feeling about what he thinks is in the best interest of protecting what he has worked for.

Take a look around and examine the state of what passes for black culture these days. A bunch of low life, substandard, ignorant hooligans spouting nonsense on records and videos, while sheep like masses emulate this degenerate behavior as if there is some kind of pride attached to being a violent, animalistic, uneducated blight on society. It sickens me to have to go to work everyday in my loafers, slacks and button down shirts, cozying up to my clueless superiors while gritting my teeth and trying my best to put on the, “I’m not like the rest of the negroes” smiley face, just so that I can make it ahead in this egotistical class based sludge that we call a society. I don’t need a *N-word* to cause my social betters to look down on me, they’ve been looking down on me since birth.

As a former poor, white, drug addict and ex-con, I’m sure Dog has not forgotten just how quickly he can slip back down to the bottom of the socio-economic totem pole and be just another piece of poor white trash, worthy of the same contempt that the cultural and intellectual elite bestow upon most people of color in this country. Does it bother me that in 2007 whites still feel it necessary to elevate themselves above every other race of people by reverting back to the lowest form of insult? Sure it does. However, if we as a people stop giving them ammunition, it would be a lot more difficult to justify their actions.

In closing I would just like to add that the thing that bothers me the most about this situation is the quick draw, ready made apology that always follows a situation like this. I think I would have had more respect and consideration for Mr. Chapman had he just had the courage of his convictions and stood behind what he said. I know he meant it, he knows he meant it, so why try and pretend as if it was some momentary lapse in judgement. No one should ever have to apologize for telling the truth or speaking their minds. Thank you.
