I would say this serves as an example to anyone with kids who try to push their racist views on their children.
It?s a new day and teens nowadays are better educated ? more informed and have access to vast wealth of information? in short they are not going for it.
I live in an affluent neighborhood and recently my preteen daughter had a sleep over with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood. One of her friends from a very well of family went on and on about how much she secretly despises her dad for trying to push his racist views on her? she even called him stupid. Her dad never graduated from high school but made a fair amount of money in the fencing business.
It was ironic that this man had told her everything he could in hopes of making her dislike blacks and here she was at our home telling us (a black family) how much she hates him for it. She said for the most part she just nods her head and agrees but can?t wait to get away from him lol
clearly dogs son is pretty smart and set his dumb ole day up
Well doesn't the thinking that nig ger=black person make anyone who thinks like that racist to some extent? I mean, if people are offended by the word, then that means in their mind they connect it to mean black people when really we should be moving towards that word not even being associated with race, if anything. Just a thought.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

I used to work with black girl that would only read “ebonic soul” books to her kid. She openly told me that she only allows him to watch soul movies and read only black authors. Is it racist?
Why do blacks have BET and no WET around? lets talk about that.
and not because he used the word n1gger. Any white person who says they haven't used it is a lying motherfucker. It's a word and it exist for a reason. Black folk should go on using the word as much as they like ---- and us whites will say it behind your backs, as we always have and always will. Even though it may slip out of my mouth when the situation calls for it once in a blue moon, I still love you.
My best man at my first wedding was black, so don't even try it, white-guilt homos.

Ok I think I understand what you're saying, but I seriously disagree.
Because someone knows that the N word is a racial epithet against black people means they're racist on some level, maybe without even knowing it? No way. Not a chance.
Me having the knowledge does not mean I participate in that thinking whatsoever! When I hear the N word, the automatic and correct association is that the person SAYING it is a racist, insensitive, idiot.
I surely hope there's not people out there who use it for anything else, because thats just patently stupid

WET is every other channel on TV. Thing that sucks about BET, is that it does not portray black people correctly. Hell, BET is not even ran or owned by black people.
What dog said was racist. He showed his true colors. Your ex-coworker may have been a bit racist but i think she's just trying to instill black culture into her kids. nothing wrong with that. Now, if she also teaches her kids to hate white people, then that's fucked up. You can educate your kids about race and not raise them to be racist.
I do it with mine. He knows his culture and our history and at the same time he loves everyone.
wonder what the law in HI is about recording phone calls, whether only one party needs to know or if both do, would be funny if it's two and he sues the shit out of his son.
Isn't Tucker the son that just got out of jail? Good lord doesn't he have like 12 or 13 kids between him and Beth?
Between the two of them something like 14 kids. Dog has been married 5 or 6 times, and has popped out a kid at each turn. He would be the Kevin Federline of his day, I guess.

How do you teach someone white culture? In my opinion white people don't really have any culture. Pointing out any differences between races could be seen as racist. Everyone is so PC these days. I guess you believe that gay pride parades are along the same lines as this? Because every other day is straight pride day? I just don't get it.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
For there to be a real WET in the style of BET the channel would have to systematically exclude blacks the way BET does whites. I don't know of any channel that has a stated goal of white programming for white people.

I guess CMT is pretty close. I stand corrected. And I have the same complaint about it that lots of blacks have about BET, that it glorifies the worst the culture has to offer.

Thanks for catching that, i was going to mention it. Nothing wrong with CMT. It caters too who it's supposed to cater too. I dont judge white people by what i see on CMT. A lot of people base black people by what they see on BET. As you stated, BET glorifies the worst that the culture has to offer.
Since we're talking about racism and children, i actually put my son in a private school with mostly white people ON PURPOSE (i think you've all figured out by now that i'm black). I want him to be culturaly diverse and have friends of all races. I dont want him to only hang around black people and only pick up 'black' traits so to speak. It's the little things you do in your childs life that make a big difference. Those little things can affect them negatively or positively. When i was a child, i was raised in the hood. Had roaches, rats, you name it, i had it. However, my father made sure that on weekends I was hanging with his white co-workers kids. I even had white adults that i use to hang out with and they didn't even have kids. The point is, it exposed me to things outside of the hood and broadened my way of thinking. Now, i'm well balanced. He made sure i didn't become a product of my environment. I can step into a corperate situation and handle myself perfectly. I can walk through the hood at night and be fine also. The problem with the way a lot of parents raise their children is they only expose them to their culture, their traditions, and they dont know anything else. if they dont hang around people outside of their culture, then they will remain ignorant to other races. When he tries to bring a black friend home and his racist father frowns on it, it's sending him a message that black people are bad, just like Dog does. It starts with the parents. Racism is passed down, it's not genetic. If we raise our kids right, the world will be a better place.
I mean this for black people also. Make your child think outside of the box. Don't take away their chances of success because they are to scared to befriend a black person. I know black people who say they refuse to do business with white people, yet they are barely making it and living check to check. I have worked around MOSTLY white people my entire career. Me being open minded has placed a lot of money in my pocket. Money is green, that's the color that really matters.
It would be cool if we could all co-exist without racism. The world would be such a better place.

I still disagree with the assertion that "everything else is WET". Blacks are well represented on major networks and most other channels. Something else to think about...would CMT be okay if it was honest and called itself WET? Or would people be upset by that and call it racism?
It was not difficult to spot "dog's" tv personallity - he was constantly pausing his rants to think about what he was going to say and where the cameras were.
Having socalized with many different people I have witnessed some very grim "closet racist." One person in particular was a US Marshal. After hearing some of his stories it was easy to understand where the fustration came from. Even though he would drop an N-bomb in every other sentance, I don't feel he hated "black people" - just the bottom feeders he dealt with every day.

Great post. I guess i don't want to be so quick to point the finger at dog because i don't want to be spoonfed by the media. Either way, regarding your last line thats the great thing about the net.
you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..
Dog will be back, unfortunately.
The number of threads and replies (with ppl seeming to know quite a bit about the guy) just proves it - if you're famous, you'll get a 2nd, 3rd and 33rd chance ... until you're not famous anymore and no one can figure a way to make bank on your name.
What shocks me is just how popular that show is, fucking sad statement on the mentality of the tv-viewing public I think ... or just another example why I keep mine off as much as possible. Trash in, trash out.

Now, if I took that statement and used word white instead ob black, it would make me a racist. Double standards...

We have a very big heritage, and a very diversified culture.
Corporate america has taken over lots of that culture in the US, but take a look at how different Russians and Americans still are to this day.

Fuck having to be politically correct and no be allowed to speak freely in your own personal life.
If he said it on the show/on the air or at a PR event promoting the show, or anything else having to do with the show or network, that's different. However his personal phoen calls with his family shouldn't affect his show. A&E are pussies.
N*gger nowadays is a joke anyways, as it's used in every other rap song and between people in public everyday (including wiggas, latinos and people of every race who use it like a surfer would 'Dude'). It no longer infers the things it used to say, during the slavery days. Do you think if the situation was reversed and the Enquirer had a story about some black celebrity telling his son to dump his 'white cracker slut' girlfriend anything would come of it? I highly doubt they'd even print or buy the story in the first place.
Such double standards exist, American media is a joke (of course racism is worldwide but other countries don't have such a media fetish for it like the US of A does heh).
but the guy chases down scum for years, goes across mexico to catch a notorious raper and then he calls someone a "nigga" and suddenly he is a terrible person?
media is ready to chastise anyone famous for ratings, you have your own brain make your own assumptions.
chases down scum? you mean after he bonds them out and puts them back on the street?

you don't see a difference between using the word "nigga" in a rap song and a father telling his son "you will never date a n1gger as long as i am alive"

i think most people make that distinction.
He is racist and ignorant no question there but from articles in this thread he basically says he uses the N word how other people might call everyone 'bitch' - so I'm not convinced of it having the intent/power the word did way back in the day.
My major point though was that's in his personal life I don't think it should have any bearing on his professional career.
Besides, I haven't met a single person in my life who has never used a racial slur to my knowledge, be i tout of anger or in jokes or whatever. So this guy should be punished for something everyone does ?

in addition to his long rant about not having his kids black girlfriend come around because they all use the word "n1gger" too much... he also said something on the tape like "i'm not going to let you date a ni|gger and if you are, you're going to have to find a different job" so its not a life lesson or personal opinion.... not to mention the fact that its highly illegal and most likely the kids phone is ringing off the hook with high profile labor attorneys offering to sue on contingency.
of course his private life has a bearing on his professional life. that is true of everyone. when you put yourself out there as being a standup guy, full of love and god, preach non-stop that you are doing gods work and doing a good thing... then get caught telling your kid "youre not going to date a n|gger" - then people stop buying into the entire premise of the show and his character... and they should.
like i have said before. i believe that its not the word "n1gger" that freaks people out. i think that deep down its just the "train wreck factor" that peaks peoples interest. we want to see people fuck up. we want to see people fail. we want to see people get hurt and there couldn't have been more than 5 people on the planet who didnt see this white trash moron and think "wow.... something is really wrong here" - and they like seeing that inner sense confirmed.

I've never actually seen the show, didn't know that was his character he portrayed heh...yeah I can see it more now as looking completely hypocritical of him and this makes more sense for the show to get canned now.

Can't argue that...it's why people watch Nascar or like UFC, among a dozen other examples we could come up with
