91. Who cares? Dog rocks and he does so much good in the world. Too bad people can't overlook a slip-up and see everything that he does for EVERY community. Imus is an idiot, but Dog is a hero. If I had a dime for every time I heard a racist word, I'd be very rich. If Dog was a black man using derogatory "white" words, no one would bat an eye. What a shame. Bless you, Dog!

92. I think this poser has been dressing like this so long that it's just routine to him. But does he really think he looks cool. Take a step back and look at yourself. I've seen clowns at the circus that would be embarrassed to be seen standing next to him. And I like how he puts all his family on the show. Yeah like baby Lisa could really take someone into custody. What a joke..........but then it is what it is.....a show to entertain us. I put it in the same catagory as Howdy Doody. Oh yeah, and Beth running after fugitives in her leather shorts and high heels and 2 inch long nails. Those shorts aren't Daisy Dukes, they're BOSS HOGGS....hahahahaha. I'd almost rather watch dancing with the stars.

93. Why is it always White people attacking Black people like this in America? I never hear of Blacks acting this way. Then the White people always find a way to try to turn it around and somehow blame Black people.

I'm beginning to feel like Black people aren't the problem.

94. Who is this Tucker? I don't think I have ever seen him on the show? Maybe the girl the kid was dating was no good for other reasons than race but, Dog didn't want to say. I will not listen to the conversation, waste of time. Sounds like he was set up. The whole idea of saying stuff to paparazzi or stupid magazines from a disgruntled employee or family member is just wrong anyway. Does Dog know he was being taped? Good old USA and it's double standard.........

95. Free speach doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and people can't form opinions about it. You say something stupid, and everyone else has the same freedom you do.

97. "I'm beginning to feel like Black people arent the problem.."


Blame the white man? Let's ask Bill Cosby..

"They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...


And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.

You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.


In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now
we've got these knuckleheads walking around.


The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.


These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ? Or who is his father ?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something ? ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?


What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.


People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks, have to do a better job. Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

We cannot blame the white people any longer."

Dr. William Henry "Bill" Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

98. Just another example of famous people hiding behind the fame. Michael Richards, Mel Gibson, Don Imus, Jimmy Swaggart, Dog. They're all phony, they're al just people behind all that glitz and glamor, putting up a front. You can take the trash outta the trailer park but you can't take trash outta them.

99. I am so sick and tired of people being irresponsible..black, white, jewish or whomever. First I think it's wrong for black people to use the word and then be surprised when a person of another race says it....I understand being offended if its used neagatively..but why be surprised. Thats like saying you're fat and then getting mad when someone else says it. Obviously he was using it in a negative context but that's his choice. I think we as a race (and I mean the human race) give words too much power after all it's not what they call you but what you answer to. Secondly as a black person I am not offended by his use of the word no more than I am offended if another black person said it, what does offend me are the worthless apologies that people give after "letting it slip". Why are they really apologizing? Is it because they truly believe that they have offended a race of people or because they are worried that people will stop supporting their careers. Lastly who decided that Al Shapton was the spokesperson for for black people. He is not the true voice for black america.

103. Dog always has been a lowlife thug. He just hit a nitch and made a few million. His time has come and gone. His mouth and his arrogance shows what a real piece of crap he is. If A&E keeps the show up I'll boycott the advertisers. I am calling my cable company tomorrow.

He was trash from the get go, along with his criminal family.

He's not the dog, he's the pig.

104. As a Black person...I really don't agree with this. I mean damn. I don't like how he went about how he went about it, and I do believe that it showed a lot of ignorance. But this man really doesn't deserve all this.

105. The question should be who recorded the phone call. because in some states it is illegal. If it was his son or his girlfriend then he was right to not want hinm to date her because of thefact things he would say she would use against him. Look A&E already suspended the production of the show. Dog keep your head up. Use this as a learning experience

Love Margie
PS Leland is hot.
