The Racist Apologizes

Filed under: Icky Icky Poo

ap_bounty_hunter_070525_ms.jpg

Dog the Bounty Hunter is apologizing for his hate-filled speech.

After A&E suspended production on his show, the N-word loving star issued the following statement Wednesday night:

"My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation. It was completely taken out of context. I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term. I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people – who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred. I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.

In Hawaii, we have something called Ho'oponopono, where people come together to resolve crises and restore peace and balance. I am meeting with my spiritual advisor, Rev. Tim Storey, and hope to meet with other black leaders so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again.

I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing. I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me. We learn from our mistakes, as my story of overcoming a life of crime has proven, and I will learn from this one for the rest of my life."

    He said a word that you just cant say. Although its a word a hear a lot behind closed doors. He is being honest that he made a huge mistake he should havge to answer to people (as he is a role model). I think that while he shoudnt be praised for saying he is wrong, that way he is going about this problem he created is a heck of alot better then most celeberites due today.

    Re: PinkSherbert
    I don't know how the Enquirer got the convo (good question), but yes…he is entitled to be as racist as he wants to be. Free speech and all that. That's why he WASN'T ARRESTED. He may have the right to say racist things, but everyone else has the right to be offended by it. Free speech goes both ways. And if such speech violated his contract, his network has every right to drop him.

    I'm a fan and I'm deeply dissapointed that he aplogized… that was a private phone conversation for starters, and the N word is used to describe any person who is a person of poor character… not just balck people, but the term has been used for hispanics, middle easterns, even asians and pacific islanders… anyone who has poor character and is ignorant… people need to chill the eff out and have a sense of humor…

    if anyone had ever seen his show, they would see that he is a good guy who really wants to help all the people he hunts down… he tries to get them to straighten up and get their shit together… man, if people are so offended, STOP GIVING VALUE TO THE WORD!!!!!! By people being offended it makes the word more powerful… if we treated it like some stupid word like "snork" and disregard it, that word would no longer carry any weight or power to offend… so chill out people and look at the people who use that word like they're crazy, not offensive!

    In a private convo that never should have gotten out what does anyone say? Why is it affecting his job? Just cause he is a celebrity he is expected to stand up to this higher standard and never say anything in private. Being an N-word does reflect on character. Not necessarily all black people can be referred to as N-words, but why exactly can all white people be considered crackers? Cause that is based on our skin color…
    You don't have to like to what he say or what he doesn't, plain and simple he has the right to say what he wants in a private setting, and he did, and somehow that got recorded. He is apologizing. Doesn't make up for it, but it is in NO WAY affecting anyone but the person he was talk to and about. The rest of the world. It wasn't you so get over it!!!!

    I am an African-American female married to a caucasian…for some reason this stuff happens all the time it is very fucked up. But I do agree with #13 heylor I have said things about different races even to my own that are not appropriate and it was a personal and private phone conversation. It just shows you though that you cannot fuck w/family because obviously his son let the Enquirer have this info.

  74. Cambria says – reply to this


    74

    I 100% do not support racism. But put it in context - it was a private conversation with his son. All the years A&E has been taping his show, and he arrests plenty of different races and they is no signs of him saying the "N" word. He probably reacted strongly due to the fact that his son was dating her. Do you think all african american families just stay quiet and make no racist comments when a black girl brings home a white boy? Don't fool yourselves, sure some do. It is even a joke in that upcoming Christmas movie about that black guy bringing home the white girl, how shocked his whole family is. People need to stop being so sensitive. There are a**h**** out there, is that a surprise?

    I love Dog and his show. I really do feel that he is a sincere person with his line of work. You can tell from how he talks on his show. Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has called someone a name in their lives, whether it be racist or just rude or hateful. It's just a big deal because he's on TV and in the public eye. What's worse-Him calling someone an awful name or Britney Spears not caring she's losing her children?

    I'm with the people saying that HER parents talk crap about "whitey" . BECAUSE I know, as I live in LA and deal with people at a bar that are of all 'races' and ironically, it is the WHITE people that are least racists, IMHO, the mexicans come in, talking racists crap about the 'whites' and how the white man stole their land. then the Blacks come in and talk about how much the white people have ruined their lives for so many generations. some of it may be true in the past, but NOT ALL and it was quite a long time ago. the racial generaliztion though comes through, more so from the 'latino' camp and the black camp. ITS stupid. and hung up.

    OK folks. Seriously. The man was having a PRIVATE phone conversation with his son. He's doesn't have to answer to us about anything he does or says in his private life. It's none of our business. Does he use the word on his show? Nope. Does he spout racist claptrap in interviews? Nope.
    The TV goes one way, kids. Just because we see people on the screen and invite them into our lives to entertain and inform us, does not mean they are beholden to jump through our hoops when the cameras are off.
    He may be a racist imbecile, but he was so, on his own time. Not yours. Mind your business, America.

    Every person in this world harbours racial tendencies and if you say otherwise well then you can throw hypocrite in on top of that. I am a fan of the show and while I was taken aback when I heard the tape, I understand he is only human and sometimes human beings make mistakes. I've watched the show and the people he arrests are from all different types of backgrounds and he treats all of them the same. They all get a cigarette after the arrest and the Dog and his team try to console and help each and every one of them. His good deeds far out weigh bad. Thanks Dog for keeping our streets safe and you don't need to ask forgiveness from us, you are human just as much as we are.
    Love for the Dog!

    People have thought, said, and done much worse than Dog's PRIVATE conversation w/his son. Why is that a person of color can refer to an anglo as cracker, honky, white trash or anything demeaning to their race, and no one makes a big deal about it? Talk about Hypocracy!!!!!!!!

    I am at a loss of words in response to hearing the conversation leaked online. I happen to enjoy Dog's show;especially because he and his family display so much warmth and concern for others to improve their lives. So now, as a woman of color, I wonder how could the same man who preaches about love and God bless you, be the same man who I heard on the tape? I listened to it a few times and it seems like people today just throw the Nword around like we throw the word bitch around. I personally hate the word, do not use it, and when a friend or a family member uses it I bark back, regardless if they are black too, no one in my opinion should use it. I still have respect for Duane and I hope somehow some good can come of this, but damn, this was just a shock….of all people…

    ITS SAD THAT AMERICA SAYS "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" BUT WHEN SOMEONE TALKS FREELY WHETHER ITS HATE SPEECH OR NOT HE IS CRITICIZED. WHO CARES IF HE HATES NIGGGGGERS. IM SURE THEY HATE HIM BECAUSE HES ALWAYS PUTTING THEM IN JAIL. I GUARANTY THEY CALL HIM CRACKER, BUT I GUESS PUTTING THAT ON THE AIR DOSEN'T FIT THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS OF OUR TIME. THIS COUNTRY IS GOING IN THE CRAPPER…..MAYBE I'LL JUST TURN GAY AND SMELL PEREZ'S UNDERWEAR.
