Thread: Bounty hunter coming back

Depending how it does in the ratings I'm sure they will decide quickly to let it ride or kill it totally.

I'd laugh my ass off if his first bounty is a black man.

If it's in Hawaii slim chance, most Black folks here are either military or ex-military, very few are ghetto scum though we have seen some who follow a brother or uncle over to live with them and end up fucking up so bad they have to leave the state soon after...

Good thing "Dog" didn't say anything about a woman's basketball team

I am not sure what he needed to apologize for in the first place.

Audiotape of Chapman using racial slur

“ Duane "Dog" Chapman: I don't care if she's a Mexican, a whore or whatever. It's not because she's black, it's because we use the word nigger sometimes here. I'm not gonna take a chance ever in life of losing everything I've worked for for 30 years because some fucking nigger heard us say nigger and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over! I'm not taking that chance at all! Never in life! Never! Never! If Lyssa [Dog's daughter] was dating a nigger, we would all say 'fuck you!' And you know that. If Lyssa brought a black guy home, ya da da... it's not that they're black, it's none of that. It's that we use the word nigger. We don't mean you fucking scum nigger without a soul. We don't mean that shit. But America would think we mean that. And we're not taking a chance on losing everything we got over a racial slur because our son goes with a girl like that. I can't do that, Tucker. You can't expect Gary, Bonnie, Cecily, all them young kids to [garbled] because 'I'm in love for 7 months' - fuck that! So, I'll help you get another job but you cannot work here unless you break up with her and she's out of your life. I can't handle that shit. I got 'em in the parking lot trying to record us. I got that girl saying she's gonna wear a recorder... Tucker Chapman: I don't even know what to say.
� In March 2007, during this taped conversation[24][25][26] with his son Tucker, Chapman used strong language, including the word "nigger," when referring to Monique Shinnery, his son's African-American girlfriend. The audiotape, which Tucker sold to the National Enquirer,[27] prompted a coalition of civil rights leaders to call for Chapman's popular Dog the Bounty Hunter show on A&E to be canceled.[28] After the tape was made public, A&E announced it was suspending production for the series pending an investigation.[29][30][31] Conservative civil rights leader Roy Innis said that Chapman "should not have a show."[32]
On 1 November 2007, Chapman issued a public statement apologizing for his "regrettable use of very inappropriate language."[33] Chapman also claimed that the statements were taken out of context and that he was "disappointed in his [son's] choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character."[33] His lawyer stated Chapman's son sold the recording of his father's conversation to the National Enquirer for "a lot of money."[33]
On 2 November 2007, A&E announced it is removing the show from their schedule "for the foreseeable future." [34] On the same day Yum Brands announced pulling ad support for the TV series. [35]
On December 21 2007, Roy Innis, the chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, one of the first to call the A&E network to have the show taken off the air, met with Alecia Colon of The New York Sun and Chapman. Innis stated for the daily news paper, "After meeting with him and his wife, Beth, and hearing his side of the story, we realized that the controversy had unjustly spiraled out of control without context." [36]
He went on to say, "Duane has taken ownership of the damage of his words and has taken on the responsibility of being a racial healer for our country… I have been with this man several times and had extensive dialogues with him. Niger (Innis' son) and I consider him and his wife good friends. Duane is a changed man and has a higher purpose. Popular television is a wasteland of meaningless titillation and degradation. The Dog's potential to take his celebrity and turn it into something redeeming for our culture and society is immense. It is for these reasons that we want his television show back on the air."
Despite Innis' statement and a petition with over 40,000 signatures requesting the return of Chapman's program, A&E would not relent. But on February 19, 2008 A&E announced that Chapman's reality show Dog The Bounty Hunter would be returning, although a premiere date has yet to be set.

Big deal everyone is racist in one way wither it be skin color or just judging people we all have to judge things everyday to survive. I believe Dog has a right to his views.

so what, it was a private phone conversation that was recorded without his knowledge and leaked to the media, he did not say it in public.
