Dog the Bounty Hunter... irony bomb explodes

[Bedreviter]

Apparantly Dog is trying to meet with Al Sharpton and other black community leaders, so soon it will all be over and fine and dandy.

Isn't he a convicted murderer?

Yeah he did a stint in Huntsville in the late 70s for murder 1. He was guilty of being in the car when a dumbass friend of his killed someone. Dog didn't know the guy had a gun or was going to use it.

I wonder which son he was talking to, and how the tape got leaked. Apparently Dog really likes to drop N-bombs. You'd think the A&E people would have known this, since they'd have had to edit it out of the shows. Guess it didn't bother them enough until the bad press hit.

He's going to be crucified for this even though none of us really even know if he hates black people. This is likely a habit he picked up in prison that he just never stopped doing.

That's sort of how I feel too. He probably thought he was just being pragmatic. He seems like a genuine guy, but wtf do I know.

I never really liked this show. I think it is a cheap version of "Cops."

[blinden84]

seriously? Did anybody NOT realize this guy was a big hillbilly? I mean, is this even newsworthy?

[Los Feliz Slim]

Unless somebody was tapping his phone, his son betrayed him but good.

It's hard to imagine a business that would get ruined more quickly by allegations of racism.

I used to watch the show a lot. He never came across as a racist, and in fact, seemed like a pretty genuine guy. In all fairness, as someone else said, it seemed like he was just looking out for his own ass. I'm sure that when you're in a business where you're regularly hunting down the scum of the earth, you're inevitably gonna let some very unkind words fly, and the last thing you need is for some girl to take offense and go running to the tabloids.

"I don't care if she's a Mexican or whore or whatever"

"It's not cause shes black its cause we use the word N"

"If Lisa was dating a N we would all say F you"

"It's not that they're black, we don't mean "you f-ing scum N without a soul", we don't mean that, but America would think we mean that."


I think its pretty clear that he isn't even racist. I mean he doesn't say the N word because black people scum without souls which is the way that racist people use it. He says it because it rolls off the tongue easier than African-American. I think this is a pretty legit argument and America should be more understanding of Dog's vocab choices.



Seriously though, it is pretty f-ed up that his son would record this conversation and then release it to tabloids. No matter how pissed you are at your racist father for not liking your black girlfriend, to call him out in front of the country and ruin his multi-million dollar TV deal and reputation is kinda messed up.


Agreed that its not exactly shocking that they use the N word frequently as they are basically taser-toting hillbillies.

[Tuco]

Lol at all the racist apologists in this thread. Listen to how he aaid "...and im not going to take a chance that some F**ING Nword..." There is a lot of hate in his voice when he uses the word there.

Ya hes a bad guy and has been in some bad places. No excuse to act like an ass.

Tuco.
