Oh the tangle web we weave, I recently listened to the audio on Dog the Bounty Hunter's racial slurs to the black community. He forbade his son whom was the person that released the phone call to the press for a nice fee by the way from dating a black girl because they use the N word and she apparently threatened to record his wife Beth using the word. Generally I don't have a problem with anyone using the word as long as it isn't said in a negative manner and had his sons girlfriend made such a tape the context in which the word is used would have been more important to me that the fact that "White people" say it. The context of the conversation between Dog and his son Tucker leads me to the conclusion that their use of the N word is less than becoming and Dog's concern for his career is a valid one. Not all are like myself and permit that word to de used period, and to add fuel to the flames he used it poorly. Wrong time to be making statements of that manner with the lingering anger over the Jena 6 still eminent in the minds of the black community. As a result of the leak the show Dog the Bounty Hunter which airs on A&E has had production halted due to the negative image that now surrounds the Dog. Its quiet ironic that his concern in the tape was to maintain his image by not allowing Tuckers girlfriend in their presence has been tarnished due to his own inability to be the brand he was trying to protect in the first place and avoid such statements that would ruin his career. below is a link of the audio if you would like to indulge yourself, be advised that there is vulgar content and the N word is used rapididly throughout the conversation.
