Dog The Bounty Hunter: Dog's Last Bark?

Warning: Audio contains racist and offensive language.

In The Dog House
Duane "Dog" Chapman who owns and operates Da Kine Bail Bonds in Honolulu may have barked for the last time. The A&E reality TV show "Dog The Bounty Hunter" has been pulled off the air indefinitely after a private phone conversation with son Tucker was recorded and made public. Chapman used racial slurs in talking to son Tucker about his girlfriend.

The Hawaii Chapter of the NAACP said Chapman's comments were "deeply disturbing." Duane Chapman has contacted Reverend Al Sharpton to set up a discussion with the political, civil rights, and social justice activist. Chapman said he is sorry for using the "N-word" and that he is "deeply disappointed in himself for speaking out of anger and using such a hateful term."

"This is awful. This man should not have a show on television" said Tamika Mallory, who oversees Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network's Decency Initiative.

On concerns of Duane "Dog" Chapman comments, A&E Network is taking this matter very seriously. Pending investigation, A&E has suspended production on the Hawaii based reality series and will take appropriate action once concluded.

He should not be on the air. He is a discrace.

This was a private phone conversation.No act like we all don't talk stink when were pissed off.Anyway we all have did something like this before.....NO ACT

No Excuse
written by SC Las Vegas, NV , November 03, 2007

I have heard the comments he has stated in the phone conversation. There is no excuse private or not to have a conversation like this one heard. There is just NO EXCUSE for language or talk such as the one recorded private or not. I don't care how angry you get. It is just ashame for a celebrity to act like the "DOG" has done in this instance. Shows the true character of the person behind the words.

Everyone should stop judging. This is a matter between Dog and his son. Do I agree on what he said? No, but non the less this is between Dog and his son. Who are we to judge. Dog will be judged when the time comes. A&E will do what they feel is right. Dog has done alot of good. Lets not judge him. No one is perfect. And you all know what I mean.

Anywayz, I always felt he was a phony baloney, and BTW, yes, we all talk smack once in awhile, but NOT ladat!!..We no use dat word! I truly believe in the phrase "What Comes Around Goes Around", the yanking of the show is jus' a lil someten, he has yet to "reap what he sowed!"

Stuck Between A Rock & A Hard Place

Hey, Racial Slurs Are All Around In Rap Music Using The "N - Word". Yet, We All Criticize Each Other. It's Kinda Hard For Me To Judge DOG'S Actions While I Hear Rap Music & Videos Protraying Racial Terms ie. N-word, Crack-r, etc. But A Celebrity In His Stature Should Be More Credible Upon His Actions. Don't Be Quick To Judge. Because A&E Will Lay Down The Law Whether Good or Bad On The DOG.

With DOG's show, people that don't know Hawaii think that all there is, is crime in Hawaii!! They only show the moke action of others, sad!. I not saying there is no crime, but if people only see this show, eeewww!

I Forgive Dog!
written by Lex , November 03, 2007

Why his choice of word might offend some, I forgive "DOG" I am a proud African American Man.. but we cannot have double standards, on one hand we want to use it in music, videos, whatever, to make money, but as soon as someone of the other race utter the word.. we want to condem them fully. We all say things in private we might not say in public.. we all can make mistakes! Keep the show rolling.. GO DOG!

Wow.......
written by Aaron G. , November 03, 2007

It's always good seeing home on the T.v but it shows the evil side of the islands. As far as his comments I can't say much. I don't know the whole story. It was wrong of him to use those words like that. The Chapman family gets the druggies of the streats in Hawaii, but there is a past to the entire family. So I'm torn on what to say. I would like to say.....goodluck Chapmans, the storm has just started!

Hasn't Dog been through enough. First the Mexico thing. Now this. Someone is out to get the Dog and his family. Why would someone tape a private conversation and then turn around make something that is private go public. That is just so wrong. Dog and his family has gotten alot of druggies of the streets and also have helped the children stay away from drugs. I am sorry but i am praying for the chapman family.

No one ever said Dog was polished
written by Kalena Horie , November 03, 2007

His show focus' on their work an folks that jump bond aren't usually too refined. Dog fits in where he works. He's tryin to be protective of his son an he didn't seem to be referring to the girls color he seemed to be referring to her behavior. Would it have been better to call her a different cuss word? People don't generally speak politely of folks that have mistreated them. I've been just as offended by his cursing on most episodes. It's just another curse word.

His convo between him an his son was a private thing. Same on who ever made this public.It was the heat of the time and we all say things we don't mean to say and as far as calln whoever I don't hear him saying anything as a race calling apparently it was her actions.I am very tired of the race thing. We all have to live with it if we r Asian ,White,Black .I feel this is all blown out to much .Dog n Family has done good for the Islands getting all the drugs off the streets.

written by Ginger , November 04, 2007

This word now in times is just considered a slang word .I hear this N word everyday. In the Rap music on the streets hear on the mainland when I hear kids sayin what up my N.I am just so tired of hearing everything is noted as racist.Its sad.And I hope A&E will reconsider an reair DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER...He done so much good 4 the islanders.

Need to analyze
written by ......... , November 04, 2007

I am so tired of people giving excuse after excuse. Yes he did good in society but it is the behavior and content of how the "DOG" expresses his anger towards whatever happened between his son and the family. Being the the lime light I don't care what you have to watch yourself and the things said. Whether private or not. Does he need to suffer, no, but he needs to show much better decorum.

Dog's conversation
written by lei , November 04, 2007

First of all, maybe we should think where Dog could be coming from, it could be a issue between him and his sons girlfriend, not the black race. He sounds like he has his own personal reasons for not liking the girl. How did the conversation get taped anyway? I only see Dog doing nothing but good, for all races, and I think his apology is truly sincere. If anything, nobody's perfect. NOBODY!!!

This is silly. How many people out there can honestly say that they have neverused a racial slurr? I'm sure not many, and I bet majority of those who have didn't mean it in a derogatory way. It doesn't matter if he's a celebrity, he's still human. Everyone makes mistakes. He didn't make these comments for everyone to hear, he made them in a private conversation to his son.

GOOD BYE DOG
written by Wailea , November 04, 2007

Firstly,Dog is NOT fighting crime.He runs a Bail Bond shop & makes $$ off those who don't go to court BIG BUCKS off his t.v. show. I would like him to go to another State to do his work and have his show.Secondly, I met him & family at the Hilton when they came for their weding...

...Good Bye (continue)
written by Wailea , November 04, 2007

....they were rude, bad tippers, foul-mouth & treated the workers like personal servants. Thirdly, it surprises me that their whole thing was family, God, prayer - yet now, it appears it was all an act for t.v. I stopped watching the show a long time ago - everyone has the choice!!

Pua-ting-yeah - NOT!!
written by Pua-ting-yeah , November 05, 2007

How many of you guy like bet that was one oddah haole person who told on DOG? All I can say is the man has done the aina right by making a difference while all of us who live on the island sit back and just turn the other cheek! Hawaii is a haven for tweekers!

Pua-ting-yeah - NOT!! - continued
written by Pua-ting-yeah , November 05, 2007

All of us have taken our rights and stretched them at least once. Whose the 1st one that's gonna claim they are perfect! Don't try to judge...its not up to you. If the N-word is truly a bad word then what about POPOLO? Or HAOLE? Or PAKE? Come on Hawaii...show the world we're beyond this racial profiling. We have so much more to be concerned about! Leave DOG alone!

WE enjoy the show.Its a job & does it fine wereas other Bails-men wouldn't even care if someone skips court/bails-men pymt.The PRIVATE call btwn ohana got heated up & caught in wrong place @ wrong time.I believe it was a setup, 2 record something personal like dis.We have American brahdahs, sistahs, ohana & kealohas fighting a war.We r trying 2 arguin' 4-ONE word that HURT people emotionally.I use 2 have people say hurtful things 2 me & my friends growing up, but i never went 2 court w/it.

You still have not learned your lessons in regards to black americans. I support your son 100% in his biracial relationship. I hope he makes millions of dollars with the tabloids because of your ignorance. God Bless America. BYE DOG AND I MEAN DOG

Disappointed
written by Earl from Richmond , November 07, 2007

I watched your show for some time and can't tell you how disappointed I am in your racial comments. I thought we at least you were beyond this kind of behavior, but obviously not. God does protect fools and babies. So I wish God has mercy on your soul.

dog is a good man
written by harry clay , November 07, 2007

Dog is already forgiven. We are all sinners. Many black americans are still using the N word like it's their right of passage. Hip hop artists spew vile lyrics degrading women, whites, their own , and anything else that comes to mind. Dog is alright with me. He will be picked up by another network. This world has some really huge problems. This isn't one of them.

I'm black and I forgive
written by lakisha williams , November 07, 2007

Dog says he's sorry. I believe him. Lets move on. Life is too short.

this message is to the Civil rights leader message above
written by daniel carver , November 07, 2007

Let me tell you something Mr civil rights leader. As long as you are on this earth you will never be able to change what someone thinks in their own mind. If I want to think of you a certain way there is nothing you can do to change that.

Let's STOP IT ALL!!
written by Mixed Plate , November 16, 2007

If we are punishing Dog for saying the "N" word,Why dont we punish everyone for using racial slurs?
Let's stop rappers from using the "N" word and "B" and
all the other demeaning terms towards females.Let's stop the National Security from racial profiling,Stop all the comedians,better yet,cancel comedy central!.Before we pass judgement and criticism on others,Look in the mirror...Yeah,your not PERFECT!Nobody is..Let he without sin cast the first stone.
