Dog The Bounty Hunter: He Should NEVER come Back
By Dr. Boyce Watkins

I just listened to the recorded phone conversation between Duane Chapman (aka Dog The Bounty Hunter) and his son Tucker. The conversation was about “that black girl”, also named Monique. Apparently, Dog was worried about losing everything he has worked for because some “f*cking n*gger” might overhear him using the word “n*gger”.
Dog The Bounty Hunter explained to his son that the reason he could not work for him is because they sometimes use the n-word around the house, and that he didn’t want America to take it the wrong way.
So Dog, how are we supposed to take it?
I listened to Dog The Bounty Hunter’s words with an open mind. I honestly felt bad for the guy, who was just sold out by his own son. It was clear that Dog was feeling the pressure of someone under a constant spotlight, since the bigger you get, the more haters you have. He made reference to people threatening to record him and take his words to national magazines to embarrass him.
Too bad for Dog The Bounty Hunter, it turned out his threat was right under his nose, as his son Tucker sold him up the river by recording the very conversation in which he expressed his concern about those trying to get him. Man, that sucks. I actually feel bad for the guy. There is also an almost comical irony to it all.
I am not sure where Dog The Bounty Hunter is going or where he belongs. But from the tone of his conversation, it’s clear that he doesn’t hold black people in very high regard. He seemed to have a problem with his son dating Monique, and I got a strong indication from his tone that it was her blackness and not much else, that kept her from having an opportunity to become part of the family. That’s the problem Dog…you rejected her because she was black. You made that clear in the conversation.
Before we all stand on our soap boxes and condemn Dog, we have to realize something. Dog, in some ways, is nothing more than a Sean Hannity with long hair. He says, in his own “Dog the Bounty Hunter” way, what a lot of America is thinking or says behind closed doors. He reflects sentiments that are quite common, as there are plenty of white folks, teachers-doctors-lawyers-professors-scientists-judges in America who would not want their child dating a black person. What is most ridiculously amazing to me is that these people will then turn around and claim not to be racist.
Sorry to tell you this, but if you feel that African-Americans are not good enough to date your children, then you are a pure cut, USDA-approved, Grade-A, good old fashioned, straight off the assembly line racist. White supremacy is very subtle, and many of us are victimized by it. You can’t claim to believe in equality while maintaining beliefs that are so blatantly laced with white supremacy.
As for Dog The Bounty Hunter, I hope he pays a high price for his mistake. He has the right to say what he wants at home, but he doesn’t need a show to say it. Besides that, I am not sure if his network has any black hosts anyway, perhaps it’s time they find one.

I am with you, here's the petition
http://www.petitiononline.com/dogfaq12/petition.html
you know something.....it's time to grow up. How many time do we "white" people hear, "cracker", "honky", "white trash" from fellow human beings, that happen to be black??? Do you see white people making a HUGE deal out of it?? NO, because we aren't suppose to be offened by racial slurs, WRONG, we are offened. So grow up, that conversation was suppose to be private, how many "private" conversations are held in black family homes that are racial motivated against white people? I think ALOT
You Know What, This Is America, Well It Was Last Time I Checked. Any The First Amendment, Give the Dog (MY Hero), Me, You Whites, Blacks, and any US. Citizen, the right to use the word (nigger) and not be punished for it. Whoever uses the word, it just show there ignorance and stupidity. Also the word is used alot in Classics, Like: Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, and other books from that era, so the word will never die. But I Don't Know anything, im just a white man, who can't be offended by racism, but I can. Like the other dude, We think alot. I dont hate Black people, I have a American-African friend, so I don't hate them. But the first Amendment give US the Right to use the word Nigger here, and have no regrets, or worries about it.
I do not understand why the black race gets so upset when they hear the word nigger. Read your bible brother.... It is there so why get so angry about it? We as white do not get angry when niggers call us a honky, and white trash. This just shows how much you blacks realy know about the the good book.......
You have the right to boycott anything you want. The Bible Says 'those without sin cast the first stone. As for myself I did boycott A&E for Canceling Dog. I also will Not Let my Children watch Nickelodeon Because They should have Canceled Zoey 101 imdediately when the news broke of Jamie L. Spears pregnancy,Instead of giving her a send off. My gosh what are we teaching our children. What is the difference? Nothing.
Uh,
Good doctor,
Why do you feel kinda sorry for him? I suppose you are an edumicated man, but still have that 'slave mentality'("ahh, massa must be havin' a bad day....")!
We're in a new century, millenium even, and there are those which dislike us for nothing because of our pigment?
These racists ave been around long enough to see that,the world is changing around them, and only focus their hatred on black folks!!!
It's time to stop 'feeling' or accepting ANYTHING from these IDIOTS!!!>8-/
its fucking retarded that all you goddamn niggers find this rasist. do you know how many time i am discriminated against by a fucking nigger. i would of said the same fucking thing as dog did. i would never let my kids or myself go out with one of those dirty scum niggers. all of you fucking niggers are little fucking babys. you cant take one rasist comment.
Slave Trader you are retarded and uneducated , and I am pissed ,you know what it is people like you that are keeping the hate going in this country between races and frankly I am tired of it. Shut Up!!! I am a white person and have a white husband but I have lots of good black freinds. To me it is a color and some probably do have hatred towards whites because of your ignorance. I look at the person and there are peices of shits in all races, I have been crossed by both but dont blame it on the race blame it on the individual. I would not call you white and as a matter of fact I dont think you are human. Be opened minded like I try to do, understand there point of view , there ansesters went through hell and it was probably by your family. Get off the computer research and read about the hell our ansesters put them through.I dont think that they can ever move on because of idiots that have to constantly remind them of there painful past.If you are a black person and you read this email please just remember this is not the views of all white people this is only an ignorant individual who dont have a life(kkk member?).A black kid probably beat his ass on the school bus one day when he was little and now he is mad. I can assure you I would pray for the day that he stood up in the face of one of our black freinds and said some shit like that. Sometimes cowards hide behind keyboards to talk shit. And as far as dog yes I beleive he his a undercover hater.
Sincerly ,
MAD WHITE WOMEN
Boyce,
You knew it will happen. Imus came back. A&E needs ratings and will allow people to be forgiven to stay competitive. It will happen.
Ok Im going to say this the best way I can. Ok Yes he used the n word omfg grow up. There are many tv shows and movies that use the N Word. So be it we live in a society where excuse muh wording there is a nigger in every race. its not jus in the black community. So people need to get over it. And something that happend in his own place should not have been publicized. I have seen people say worse things than that. It seems like people have still not gotten over the black white issue there will always been racisim in this world. and its rasicim over alot of things not jus color or nationality. Dog and his posse are wonderful people. Look at how many they have gotten off the streets and i know it has not stopped them. Yes i do believe he was wrong when he said that. But people we have got to stop acting the way we are acting. And no i dont think that dog the bounty hunter should have been taken off of the air becuase of something that was said off air in the privacy of his own home. AMERICA WE NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE CHILDREN. That is exactly what is goin on now. Would you want to stop any basketball games or football games or movies or other shows if someone called one of there childrens gf or bf or a friend a nigger no you wouldnt. I think that we all need to unite and stop slappin each other in the face. We have not grown from anything. Stop acting like we are all still in slavery. we are slowly letting the government and the weak people win. And if this is to harsh for you to understand or grasp i am sorry . But this is how i feel and i have voicing my opinion thank you very much
BLACK PEOPLE CAN CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH, THE BLACK MILLION MAN MARCH, BLACK COMEDY AWARDS, BLACK MUSIC AWARDS CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OUTRAGE OF WHITE HISTORY MONTH, OR WHITE MUSIC AWARDS, ETC. SLAVERY AND ALL THAT ENDED A LONG TIME AGO. YOU DONT HEAR THE JEWISH COMMUNITY UP IN ARMS ABOUT THE HOLOSUST. I HEAR BLACK PEOPLE CALL EACH OTHER NIGGER ALL THE TIME. SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE AS GOOD FOR THE NATION AS MR. CHAPMAN HAS CAN SAY NIGGER, HONKY, F**k, IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS OWN HOME WITHOUT REPRECUSSION. FOR ALL YOU "EDUCATED" BLACK PEOPLE I WANT WHITE HISTORY MONTH AND HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT?
NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER....I CAN SAY THAT BECAUSE OF FREE SPEACH. GO ON AND HAVE YOUR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE HAD WHITE HISTORY MONTH.
black say nigger in their songs and call each other that all the time whathappens when they do it nothing they wont let whites have their own white shows but they can have theirs whats wrong with that picture duh
I serve a Forgiving God. I am forgiven the first time I ask God for forgiveness. Dog has Asked God for Forgiveness. He has told the whole darn world several times that he is Sorry. Enough is enough. why must you make a man beg. You all should read your Holy Bible. You are all Acting like you are holier than thou.You all should be ashamed!!!! I am Glad that they Are Bringing Dog Back. If it weren't for him and his Family hundreds maybe even thousands of drug addicts and ice heads and other people who have committed various crimes would be dead. I am glad that Dog and Posse are returning. As for me and my family we continue to serve God. We will also watch Dog the Bounty Hunter!!! By the way tis is for you Dog....Blam! Another one Bites the dust. We love you. And by the way I am African American.
Time to let the dog out in me..I am a black woman in america. I'm certain the slavetraders would call me a blaque bee-itch.....I can be but,you have to get to know me.This person calling himself a dog..Stated racist terminology about a young seemingly intellectual Nubian Princess who seems totally too good for his boy!Dogdidntknowthischild!!!!Get rid of the disrespecting dog for good.No more blatant advertising and promoting hate.It is time to get rid of this disease.
The abolishment of slavery and the successes of the Civil Rights movement does not erase the racism that was planted and grown in America since the 1400's.
Until the prejudices and hatred that was instilled in the majority race for over 400 years has had time to slowly die the issues and tension will remain.
Some people beg blacks to stop complaining about being a victim. Would be alot easier if blacks simply weren't victims of America's crimes against humanity.
