62. 4. Why do black people get away with using the "N" word, but when a white guy says it, the world stops spinning! This is ridiculous!

=============================================
But not all black people use the word, so this hardly lets Chapman off the hook.....

65. I could never figure out why A&E would ever have a no good jailbird and his family on in the first place. The whole family looks and acts like trash to me and Im sure law enforcement dont want anything to do with them for sure. As far as the "Rev" he loves to be in the lime light no matter whats said about him, he belongs with trash like the "dog". Gene.

66. Yeah Dog lost ALL respect when he made it public that poor Joe Francis should be freed.
His needs better advisors - when you do something like this, the last person you should call hi Rev. Al, b/c it lets him think he has some credibility. He's not a real reverend - look up his bio on Wikipedia. Al aint gonna save you, Dog. This is where you just say "sorry" and stay low for awhile. Your fans know you're not a hate filled person.

67. I started BOYCOTTING this tv show when "Dog" spoke out in support of Joe Francis. I will never watch this show again. Take it off the air!

68. What a dumbass redneck. He flew into Tennesee and he and his wife were so rude and crude to their fans. Total white trash!

69. Private conversation or public......if he said it he meant it. He must be a closet racist.

70. So does this mean the entertainment industry is stepping up and pulling the pull on Rappers?

71. Did know he was being recorded? Sound like a lawsuit to me. Bet the black girfriend did the wiretap.

72. Man I'm disappointed. I use to watch Dog all the time and never once did I consider him racist especially considering the fact the he lives in such a diverse state as Hawaii.

73. WTF only a black can use the N word. Listen to their music. There teaching the white man it's okay to say the N word as long as the er is replace with A. Oh don't foget the Bitch and HOs, that is what they call their women. Along with Imus and Dog PULL THE PLUG ON ALL THE RAP CRAP

74. He is an idiot and a glory hound. 'nuf said.

75. OMG...I am so sick of that "N" word being protected and a big deal. A white person is being called "honky" or "cracker" and that's ok huh? Well, it's not. Another thing, there are African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native-Americans and so on, but what are white people called? Caucasians...WTF..white people can't even get American in their title. The white person is the minority in this day and age!
