Dog the Bounty Hunter #2

[2luvmy]

Maybe I am mistaken, but where I am from and n***er are two different things.

I'll for go the evolved discussion....that one cuts like a knife.

 

[Taximom]

One of my favorite tunes is "Gold Digger" with Kanye West and Jamie Fox. I like the tune/beat but not necessarily the words. They use the N word and they don't have any problem singing it:
[Chorus:]
(She did me wrong
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm Need)
But she aint messin wit no broke ni**az
(She did me wrong)
Now I aint sayin she a gold digger (When I'm need)
but she aint messin wit no broke ni**az


I don't get it. Why use it referring to yourself if it's so abhorrent? (No answer really needed.)

However.. the TRUTH of the matter is.. they DO want to be called that. Not all, but most, it seems. Again-- not the intelligent, educated, evolved people..... but all the rest. Those are the ones I have no sympathy for.

Justification for ignorance....Gotta love it!

so, from reading this thread we've gone from:

• Dog didn't say those hateful things (story is a fake);

• the story is true but he didn't actually say what you think you heard (slanted "quotes" posted);

• he actually said all that, but it's not as hateful as it sounds (who doesn't talk like that);

• he did use the n-bomb along with assorted other profanity (but those words do not mean what you think they mean);

• what dog said was vile, but the son is to blame because he's a convicted felon (like his father);

• what dog said was vile, but it's really the girl friend's fault (she might have recorded him saying the same things);

• what dog said was vile, but the son is to blame (he recorded his father's racist rant);

• what dog said was vile, but hey, those rappers sometimes use the n-word (as if those dudes are role models for civil discourse);

• what dog said was vile, but he shouldn't lose his show ("free speech" and all);

...

I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

In "A Time to Kill", Grisham's character says "you don't see me as a man, you see me as a black man". People like this Dog are like that, they can't judge the character of a person because they cannot see beyond the colour of that person.

This idiot admits that if anyone heard the way they talk at home it would ruin his career, but they just can't help themselves even when visitors are present. Face it, the man’s got nothing against n****rs, it’s just that when there’s n****rs around he's going to say n****r, and he can’t help himself. The creep and his inbred family would still be living in a white trash trailer park if not for that television show.

Dang Gonzo, you certainly have a way of letting the air out of the balloon, and summarizing Dog for who he actually is. The way this thread was progressing, I was worried that Dog was going to become a deity.

Some white and black people actually use the N word to describe what they call "black trash".

I also think it's ironic that one person can do so much good but then he says a stupid 2-syllable word and every good deed he's ever done is as if it never happened. Nice logic there, people.

Half of you have already condemned this man, and half of you are supposedly religious people that preach forgiveness when it's convenient to your argument. Get over yourselves.

 

[reb]

i was waiting for that.. the whole argument about the word with an 'a' and the one with an 'er' being 2 different things. Sorry... but I'm not buyin' it.

Well, I was aiming for a thread killer but under shot the target.

Herewith, allow me to express in the weakest terms available my abject condemnation of this racist, bigoted piece of white trash.

Maybe justice will be served if another of his sons brings Britney Spears home for Thanksgiving.

Montana_16: I'm in the minority, too, about how I view Duane Chapman... and while I know there seems to be a large backing of him on this site, I do keep in mind that the greater good of this website far outweighs any controversy surrounding someone in the light of pop-culturedom. Please know that your voice is welcomed... you are not alone in your views... and while we may not be the bigger voice, we do have something to say and as long as we keep speaking it, perhaps we can help turn the tide.

lol at the Britney comment!!!!!!!! Isnt that the truth?

Has anyone taken this into mind: family aside, Dog took Tucker's job away from him based on a race issue. If Dog was not such a pop-culture piece, what Tucker did exposing things would have gathered him a load of support, praise and all kind of accolades... threads about his bravery for standing up to the racist employer and secretly recording the employer's nastiness would litter message boards far and wide... his actions would make for Hollywood movie types to offer up cash for his story... there would be Dateline pieces and Time magazine covers touting him as a hero for the little man, for taking on the big man and exposing the racism that cost him his job.

Family aside... pop culture deity aside... this would be a whole different story where Tucker was in the right.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

Again...everyone ignored what I said. Do people not want to hear it? They don't want to disagree or agree to what I say. Why?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I said this before on another thread and no one seemed to take notice (don't know if it is a good or bad thing).

Until we ALL forget about the past ills done by ALL of ancestors and move on...we will never get away from racism. Pure and simple. Let the ills be remembered in our History as horrible things which happened...then stop dredging it up constantly on any side. The very battle of if this or that smacks of racism creates MORE racism. We pass it to our children if only we are trying to prevent it this way. Enough already! Forget it or it can never be laid to rest and we can never go beyond it haunting us forever.

It is like carrying a grudge or a chip on your shoulder throughout our lives. Forgive and forget...move on and learn from it.

Let me bring back up what I said. (How many times has everyone neglected to comment?!) Let's ALL move beyond the past. Bury it and go forward. It did happen, but put it in our past instead of our present and future.

I agree, SS.

I don't know. Taping someone without their knowledge or consent and then exposing them, esp. for profit just reeks IMO, regardless of the situation. How many people thought Linda Tripp was such a hero?

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, not everyone feels this way and they like to drudge up the past. Total shame, but that's just the way it seems to be. However, I'm with you...I wish everyone could just live in harmony.

It keeps getting brought up because it didn't just happen in the past. It happened in the past and it is happening in the present. Racism and prejudice is very much alive and well. Have you read some of the responses on this thread?:hand:

Two people read and reacted. Hmmmm...keep reading...because you will soon see what I am talking about. : )

I agree with you. But IMO, it doesn't seem that white people's opinions matter when it comes to discussing racism, although we are constantly blamed for our part of it. I don't see things changing in my lifetime and it's really sad. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

When we ALL decide that it is History and choose to "forget"....we are moving on with an entire planet. Those who choose to bring it up daily still feel horrible and just want to remind everyone how horrible they feel because of their ancestors. I feel sorrow that my ancestors were ignorant and did horrible things...but I acknowledge their stupidity. However, we are not responsible for it...yet we still are supposed to pay for it....because no one can forgive or forget the past.

Someone will always feel slighted and others will always feel not. It is what happened. This goes into HISTORY BOOKS. Let's teach our children that. We love people for who they are. We can only learn about what our History books say. Let it go.
