Topic : 11/09 Debate Dr. Phil and the Bishop

I agree we "should" not use the "N" word and totally support that conviction however not everything in life is in black and white or wrong or right.  First of all Dog was in a private conversation and apparantly upset about his son's situation. (That is his business).  In the second place he made a freaking mistake people; is that so terribly hard to understand?  You think Dog is the only one who has made this particular mistake with his language?  There are many people who have done the same thing and these same people are NOT RACIST either.  Sometimes the media takes something and blows the whole thing out of the water and this is a perfect example.  So many black people call other black people the "N" word and you don't hear crap about that.  And for the black guy on the show who vows to never use the "N" word in his songs anymore?  Well wonder if he would be willing to pull those songs off the market and quit making money off of them?  The audiance laughed when mention was made of his filthy lyrics and yet Dog has a private conversation and gets his whold show suspended.  This makes me so angry; all the rotten crap going on in the world and the media wants to attact someone like Duane Chapman who truly has been an inspiration to so many people; weather they were/are a convict or not.  So he made a mistake, he apologized and I believe he means it.  Give him his show back; if not we all need to boycott A & E.  And as for Tucker, I hope he is proud of his self now.  I am sure (or at least hope) that hind sight has crept up on him by now.

Mad in Arkansas

First of all, Dog was on Hannity & Colmes for two days prior, informing the public about everything that has happened.

Why was that not mentioned? Why does he have to come on Dr. Phil?

If anybody watched H&C, all questions would be answered.

This was clearly a biased show against Dog, he would have been hounded. It would have been better if it was a one-on-one interview without the other folks.

Master P had the nerve to say "I'm here, dog is not.." in reference to changing his life or whatever.

Listen Master P, I'm glad you got your applause after mentioning people need to see the "bigger picture" etc. Dog said the same thing and H&C and explained the ulterior motives of that girl and his son but, of course Dr. Phil will only bash him instead of mentioning or showing excerpts from H&C.

That girl has the nerve to try an sue him for slander after, her boyfriend sold the recording to the enquirer. That will not fly in court (on H&C).

Let Dog be folks, I truly feel he is sorry and all of this is taken out of context and that he is not a racist. Not one person who is offended or upset has room to talk. Everyone of you has done or said something that if found out of the general public, would put you in Dog's position. This goes for myself also.

Hell, his pastor is black and stands by Dog. Why? Because he knows that man personally and sees the pain and honesty in his eyes when he speaks.

I applaud the guy on stage with Master P who explained why his show should stay on the air.

Give him a second chance America.

I agree that the word should not be used by anyone. It's degrading! But it's only degrading when a white person says it? Who cares if you're an african american person saying it to another african american. The word has the exact same meaning no matter who you say it to. So if there is going to be all this Drama about the word, then the word needs to be removed from EVERYONES vocabulary. And it's just not white people doing it to african american's, they do the same with white people too by calling them "cracker". Honestly, we all need to just grow up, don't take things that people say to heart.  Take it with a grain of salt. There are always going to be people out there who says things we don't like. And the "N" word happens to be one of them.

As for Dog, i do believe that he needs to make a public apology. But then drop it. He's doing a whole lot of good. Taking people off the streets who don't need to be there. So maybe we all need to be a little more forgiving. Life is short, who really has all this time, to sit around a gripe about who said what.
