Dog the Bounty Hunter
4 stars
Hearing that Dog is being pulled from the air is very disappointing. Hearing why A&E is pulling the show is even more disappointing. A racial slur!? WTF! Did he let it slip on air to someone in anger? Did he post it on the internet somewheres, stating that he felt a deep rooted hatred for Africans? No, he was a having a personal conversation with someone, and it was taped without his knowledge and given to a company that prints their news on toilet paper. For one, if you don't like what he said, then guess what?, STFU and don't listen to him. If you see his show on tv, turn the channel. Don't take it off air and deprive his fans from his show. Besides from what I heard of the conversation in which the offending word was used, I can understand that the man was upset and venting. And I am not saying that I agree with him, I actually thought that Dog had more character than to say a word that is so offensive to so many people. On the other hand, I see no reason to make such a huge deal about a word that was spoken in anger. If I had a dime for every time I was called a racial slur, I wouldn't be playing the lottery. But the issue is never seen that way. If a white person is slandered, they are expected to ignore it (which is usually easy due to nature of the slurs, I mean cracker? whitey? casper? these attempted insults are far to funny to be taken seriously in my opinion). But heaven forbid that a white person uses the N-word. If this is the reaction in todays world to this use of this slur, then how come every rapper or hip hop singer is not publicly defamed and brought down like Dog has been? Its like trying to teach a child that something is wrong. You can't tell your child not to use curse words, and in the same breath curse in front of them. How can it be ok for a black person to use the N-word in front of millions, and it not be ok for a white person to use the same word in a private conversation? I vote for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, NAACP and ACLU to all start another million man march, except this time protest your own people. Stop the use of this hated word world wide, not just in the white community.
