I dont understand why this is turning into such a big deal. I know as a parent I would want to keep my son away from someone who was enabling his drug habit and use. Im also tired of hearing so much about the “N” word. Okay its fine for african americans to call eachother “N” but its not okay for a white person to say it? Why not just make everyone stop using the stupid words if its so offensive. African americans can make fun of white people anytime they want. Just watch television and the african american comedians. Im sick and tired of seeing white people treated like this is just a country they are allowed to stay in. Its their country too. Why is it okay for African Americans to make fun of whites but not okay for White people to make fun of Black? I means seriously, I hear white people called crackers, which is derogatory towards them. Its getting out of hand. When is a white person going to stand up and whine and scream racism about all the jokes and names they are called daily? You dont hear Native Americans whining about how bad they are treated and how they are made fun of, and yeah they are treated really bad and made fun of. This crap has went on long enough. Its time for people to start acting like people and grow up. This country has alot more problems to worry about than someone using the “N” word. I am soooo sick of hearing this same bunch of B.S. Dog plainly stated that he used that word because he was around African Americans and it was okay with them, and He thought it was a private conversation between his son and himself. Someone he obviously thought he could trust, He was trying to look out for his family.I cant believe his son would stab his own father in the back like he did for a few bucks. Wonder how much his mama is getting out of all this. Its just jealousy because of his career and his success and the wife he obviously loves. Dog works hard to get drug users, dealers and criminals off the streets( Thats says alot to me) which is so much more important than some stupid word that no one really needs in our vocabulary to start with. African Americans can help fix the problem by not using the word either. Thats what makes me sick about all this. Its the same old story, same old song and dance. GET OVER IT and move on….If you dont like the “N” word then everyone stop using it….Simple
and to clear this up, Im not at all racist….just human.

WHY DID THEY INVADE HIS PRIVACY ON HIS PHONE? SOUNDS LIKE SONNY BOY NEEDED SOME FAST MONEY.
DOES HE HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM….

If a tree falls in the woods and no one was there to hears it. did it fall ? Yes it was said in privacy but that does not make it right. His true feelings of blacks is out in the open. He is not racis but he is prejudice. I’m a black man and don’t believe “dog” is racist but nevertheless someone in position ( very influential due to his popularity) should not be promoting these thoughts. I believe dog is apologetic because he is about to loose millions as a result of his feelings. It seems as if “dog” believes “black people” are all right as long as they are not part of the family. Could someone tell me why he did not want he son to date black women? His feeling was genuine but that des not make him racist. I will no longer support him for I know that he feels that the white race is better than the black.

The black community is working hard to abolish the use of the N word. It’s in the news everyday, Mr Chapman knows that! I’ve Used the word in the past with my friends and is very sorry for doing so. I now realize the negative connotation and feelings towards it and it openly discouraging it.I’ve not used it in over 2 yrs. It’s degrading to the black community. If we let “dog” get away with it then it’s showing society that it’s all right. Many people in his position ( musicians /rappers mostly ) has vowed not to use it in their music anymore. We have made one step forward, let no one drag us back !

Dog is a great guy.He is not a Racist. There is one racist that I see in this mess and the Imus Mess and that is REV al sharpton.He should get a real job!
Enough is enough! I hope A&E bring Dog back.I know several people that will stop watching A&E if they cancel his show!

He used the word in the same way a neo-nazi,klansman or hate-filled plantation oversear would use it. Black people do not use that word that way with each other. Anyone who doesn’t see the disctinction is a complete moron. What’s more, seems Dog has taught his little children to speak the same hateful bile. What advertiser would ever again want to be in any way associated with his “show?”

I am a housewife and I have watched Dog the Bounty Hunter for a while now. I feel that if I met him on the street I would not feel him to be a racist. I feel that it was a private phone call between a Father and a Son and should not have been taken as far as it has. Look at what Dog has done in his life now. I don’t think that the show should not be cancelled. He is taking steps to become a better person. He deserves another chance because he helps so many. We are all human and say things out of anger. Move on.

Whether anyone thinks the show should or should not be cancelled is irrelevant. He will never be on the air again after that tape. It was that ugly. Even if A&E wanted to put him on they’d have to do it commercial free, because no company will advertise on it.

And, unfortunately, he has made things worse for himself on this crying forgiveness tour of his. For him to suggest that he was using this word in a “brotherly” way is an insult to the intelligence of his viewers as well as his advertisers. He was lying in his coffin and then comes along and nails that coffin shut with his “apologies.” He is clearly an inveterate, anti-black racist. Now, what about his initial written apology? There he says that it wasn’t the girl’s color, but her character which concerned him. Well, on the tape he says if she were a whore of another race it wouldn’t bother him. Rather, what bothered him was that she is black. If he was so concerned about character why would he accept his son dating a whore?

And let’s not forget that he said if his daughter brought home a black guy he would say to her “F*** you.” Lastly, he was concerned about his young children using this word in the girl’s presence. Instead of cleaning up his act and setting the right example for his kids, he’d rather keep the girl away so she wouldn’t hear this language and “turn him in.” This guy is a total and complete scumbag. I never want to see his ugly mug on television again.

the whole family is behind you Duane. Saw you on Larry King and my fave, Sean Hannity. You and Beth will get over this. Hang in there ! You guys are the best. You will overcome. Just don’t ever use the word again in public or private. We all feel so sorry for you. You are the Best and we are all human and say crap like this all the time without meaning harm to anyone.

Regarding Dog – Based on everything I have seen about Dog I believe he has turned his life around from years ago. I think his show is an eye opener to people like myself that really don’t understand the world Dog lives in. I believe he should be forgiven so he can continue to help others. The fact that he is human and working around people they use slurrs on a daily basis. Let DOG and his family get on with the good things that they can do. They will have learned a lot by this less. DO WE THINK HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO DO THIS.

Dog will survive. He has worked very hard for 30 years to finally feel like he belongs where he is. No one has the right to take that away from him. We all make mistakes. Let he without sin cast the first stone. He has apologized to the point of degradation. Some people just enjoy kicking someone when they are down. Jeolousy probably has a lot to do with it. A & E should just take a stand and give him back his show. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. They have been through to much to let this take them down. Let us not forget the people Dog has helped capture and turn their lives around. He deserves more than a second chance. A lot of the black people who are crying over this, have not done half as much for the black community and their fellow man. Get over it and get a life.

I beleive very strongly that A&E should bring back Dog The Bounty Hunter! I look forward to watching it every week and now that he said the N word he lost his show! It is vey wrong a racist for the african americans to use that word and dog gets punished and ridicule for using it.
Please A&E bring it back! He is deeply sorry for that he is human and that needs to be forgiven! He has aplogized and apologized for what he said. If you are human and have feelings give him another chance for all us viewers who love his show. You are not only punishing him but you are also punishing all orf us viewers! I have not watched A&E since that has happened and I won’t until you bring him back on A&E!

Could you imagine if every celebrity was held to this standard? We’d all be disappointed. I know what Dog was trying to say, I do not think he’s racist and the “N” word was used simply to describe this person not an entire race of people. Was it right, probably not, but Dog is an older guy from a different generation. Why would he spend an entire lifetime trying to rehab all colors of people if he was a racist? I know a black man who once said that the “N” word was used to describe a certain kind of person (or the way they are acting) in all colors. Like I said, it’s probably not appropriate, but if the word is not liked I recommend all people quit using it. I think Dog was angry during his conversation and we all try to say the most hateful words we can think of in situations like these. The “N” word is used all the time in so many different contexts that I don’t see how we can even know what it means. It’s simply a word, not an action. Think about it.

A&E we don’t listen to your private business calls. Who gives you the right to invade the privacy of Dog Chapman. It was a private conversation with his son. It wasn’t a public comment to any reporter. I am sure if you would seriously think about this you would realize that his son was mad and decided to get revenge on his dad. Now you have given this son permission to ruin his dad. I can’t believe you haven’t learned a thing about the Chapman family at all. How long have you had this family on your network??? Have you not learned that the Chapman Family is an awewome roll model for families all over America. We not only learn about how meth is taking over our citizens but we have also learned how to communicate and love as a family. We all get upset with family members and say things we don’t mean. I am sure if Dog could take it back he would. I do not believe that Dog would just hate his son’s girl friend over nothing. I am sure there is a very good reason Dog feels that this young lady isn’t the one for his son. I believe deep in my heart that Dog had a good reason for telling Tucker to not be with this girl. I do not believe it is over her color. I suggest you take another look at the situation before you loose a lot of viewers over a very bad choice. Put yourself in the Chapman family shoes and see how it would make you feel to have your privacy invaded.
