 You may have grown up in Cleveland, but Dog grew up with an angry, racist father, moving on to further grow up with bikers, then jail. He has grown as a person to love God, mercy and humility but the biker/jail talk in him is still there. He deals with convicts/hard nosed criminals everyday so he is going to communicate on their level, so they will listen.

I listened to the entire tape, thanks to the National Enquirer. He explains himself quite well if you actually listen to what the content of his message is and not just get stuck on one word. This was a conversation between father and son, communicating in a language they (Tucker and the girlfriend) knew he would say.
Ask Tucker why he even taped this conversation? He knew what his dad was going to say. And he wanted to get his dad. This is entrapment.

Should Dog use that language? No. But in reality those words are said everyday in jail, by old bikers, old ex-cons, they may have changed in someways but not a 100%.
I saw Dog on Larry King and I felt they were persecuting him, as the "bad celebrity of the week". Made him cry and say he was sorry.....ok can we go back to "bad Paris and Brittany" now?
Come on. Move on already.
This was a PRIVATE conversation his son taped to ruin his dad cause his dad wouldn't do what he wanted him to do.....hire him. Well they say payback is a bitch but this went too far.

I grew up in Canada in a northern Ontario town. When I visited my sister in Texas 2 years ago, I couldn't believe the quiet racism that goes on everyday and neither could she.
When people ther asked if we had black friends back home our answer was no.
Why were we racist? No, because there wasn't any at school, or even in the town we grew up in.
Why is the town racist?.......no in fact they university now has a foreign student program with several Africian countries now., they just weren't here!
It was just when we grew up for what ever reasons, the black population never migrated this far north. Even in upper Michigan they are few and far between still today.
Does that make us all racist? Hell No!
Just never knew of any until I was much older and they moved in town and are great doctors, radiologists, technicans and professors.

Regardless the only exposure we have had has been mainly thru US TV shows. Yes I remember several shows when the blacks/Africian Americans called each other names that if a white person said it would be wrong. I know it confused me as a kid how come it was ok for them to say it and not us. Isn't a wrong just wrong? Or is it ok for some but not all?

Anyway, this was this week's hot celebrity screw up. It's over. He aplogized......I think his son and girlfriend are the ones who owe Dog the rest of the family an apology! And A&E quit being such candy butts and put the show back on! They should have supported their first big star and found out the entire story before pulling the plug.

Now to make a Federal case out of this private conversation turned into public persecution it way out of line for everyone.
Calm down. ......Take deep breaths.....say your a goof for saying that...... and letting your son set you up!
But there are alot bigger problems in the world right now than what a 50 year old biker/bounter hunter says!
