dog the bounty hunter has served the public for years. now; in a taped PRIVATE conversation; he used the word niggar and his show gets cancelled.
so now our private conversations are subject to public approval. so what other rights have we given up? are we going to start arresting people for what they say? if so; most blacks would be arrested for using the same word.
so i guess it comes down to a double standard. blacks use the word "cracker" with frequency oh but that's ok. what is this world coming to?

EVEN Starbucks had that specific clause in their hiring package ... i remember reading it because it mentioned drugs AND alcohol ... like you could lose your job slinging coffee because someone saw you drunk at the bar.
LOL.
So, private conversation or not, Dog was responsible for his actions and opinions reflecting on his employer ... that employer is a HIGH visibility employer that deals with PR daily ... they can't afford to have a "nigger hater" on staff ...
... i TOTALY understand why he was fired.
Sucks that his mouth in private got him fired, but that's just the way it works man.
He hasnt sacrificed any "rights" ...
:(
If I opened it now would you not understand?
That said, people should really get a spine, but they have no obligation to do so.
agreed.........and in this day and age, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a private conversation anymore. Someone is always there with a video camera, a cell phone camera/voicemail, or an illegal wiretap
Do you think the n word and cracker are on the same level?
And it became a public statement when his idiot son sold the tape to a tabloid.
And for blacks saying the same same word, yes it's a double standard, but that's how life is... Sarah Silverman says ignorant things about women and somehow she's funny, if a male comedian did it would be offensive. Jeff Foxworthy's whole career is about making fun of rednecks, but if someone from New York City says what he says it would be offensive instead of funny.
was like a picture

a&e has the right to fire him for no reason. BUT; they gave a reason. something he said in a private conversation. they didn't take into consideration that he deals with people all day long that use the word niggar in their regular conversation. i have a black neighbor and it's nothing to say "niggar say what?". that's how he talks and it's natural in the conversation.
now tell me this: would dog's show have been cancelled if he were black and said the same thing?????
A&E is totally within their rights.
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

you can't tell me he said it in the same sense black folks use it talking to each other. he said he didnt want his son's nigger gf filing a lawsuit to come after his money.
i have no peoblem using the word niggar for those who deserve it. if they don't like it; they can kiss my arse. maybe they'd prefer being called a mother f&^*#* because that's more accepted.
of course it's all about money.
who deserves it? are you saying nigger and motherfucker are interchangeable terms? it is the fact that you equate them that allows for blacks to say it and whites not to. becos blacks have tried to reclaim it by using it as a term of friendship, whereas whites still view it as a derogatory insult, as you just evidenced.
lemme guess, when you were a famous musician, right before you were a famous multimillionaire business man, which was before you became a john wayne buffalo raisin redneck cowboy, you were in one of those white power heavy metal groups?
Ok. If you have no problem using the word, then don't fire those who use it. Seems pretty straightforward.
The real crime is that nobody can use the word niggardly these days.....
Dog is an idiot anyway, who cares except Dog and Mrs. Dog and those freaks that work on that show?

agreed that show is freaky along with that whole family damm those people are scary more than the people they hunt down, sometimes i can't tell the difference between the hunter from the fugitive .........
When a race of people have been abused in the past there's an subtle unspoken rule of respect carried forward. Blacks have a history of oppression, same with the Jews, amongst others. White people in general have never really had any serious levels of oppression throughout history, so when it happens, something unspoken seems to stir.

My favorite is when he beats the crap out of some meth burnout and then starts calling him brother and tries to be the guy's best friend.

yeah that makes me laugh the poor sapp just got hi's brains beaten and then comes the hand shake with the arm on the shoulder nice ......:D
Someone revealing his private conversations is shitty, but it happened. A&E certainly have the right to take his show off the air. I would kick him in the balls while I was at it.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Nice to see bigots busted...
i was walking down a hallway when 4 blacks; walking abreast; stopped for me to move out of their way. the problem was that this was after hours and all the doors down the hallway were locked. so i either had to walk back outside so these 4 people could pass; or bloody levitate to let them by. they deserved it. in fact; they deserved a lot more. they were looking for a fight and should have gotten one.
as for dogg; he can buy and sell anyone on this board so he'll be ok. as for the criminals he risks his life to get off the streets; f*&^ it; let them continue to kill others because his work isn't appreciated.
Just stand aside and let them go.
Is that so difficult?
So that is cause for you to use the word nigger? Sorry..lame in my opinion.
