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

While I cannot stand racists, I do not want our constitutional rights taken away, either.  I have never watched this person's TV show, have no idea what he is all about & have no plans of finding out.  If he is small minded & petty enough to feel that way towards someone just because of how they look, so be it - his loss.  A private phone call is just that: a private phone call.  As well, speaking out on how you feel about things is a part of what makes our country great.  At least we now know where he stands and can support or oppose him, as we choose.

I also feel that anyone...ANYONE...who tries to stir emotions to a boiling/exploding point, wants violence.  That is why I do not support people like Jackson and Sharpton.  I DO support The Bishop - his focus is on solving the problems, not stirring up violence, as it should be.

What this man did was wrong, I would never say that word even in the privacy of my home, we just don't do that but he should be forgiven. According to the Bible, there is only one unforgivable sin and this is not it. If God has forgiven him, then we have no choice. The man is broken, if we don't forgive himthen God will not forgive us according . Was it right, a thousand times NO. His son is just as wrong to record a private conversation

The man does an awful lot of good. Sharpton would take it to the bank in a heartbeat if he himself could get a little more publicity. He calls himself a minister of the gospel, what gospel would that be ???

Let's forgive him and get on with his and our lives just as Jesus would do

I feel if we want to remove the n-word then that should mean accross the board.  The rap community should stop using the word in their music and movies geared to  African-Americans should stop showing it as a "okay" word in the black community.  That is what Dog stated he really thought he good in the black community to use that word without it being taken as racial.  If we want to stop then that means everyone.  

Under NO circumstances should the "N" word ever be used.  I find it hard to think the word much less say it.  HOWEVER, the biggest tragedy in this unfortunate circumstance is being overlooked.  Tucker, his flesh and blood recorded and turned the conversation over to a gossip columnist. Dog's hurt from this betrayal must be overwhelming.    After the dust settles from this situation and the press goes home........the father-son relationship will never be the same...even after forgiveness. 

Dog the bounty hunter should not be off the air. Have you said something that you regetted saying.

To dog wife give the guy a break it the first time he made a mastake. He is a good man. You said that he was a desrace when he went to mexico and got that guy and they took him to jail. Give the guy a break. He your hubby. everybody that dosen't want dog off the air should go to a&e and write them a email.

I just saw Dog Chapman on Larry King live last night and he has been crucified enough already.  I hope that Dr. Phil and the Bishop and the rest of the guests don't do the same...He is trying to do a good thing.  I am a 57 white female and I agree the N word should not be used.  But let's not get carried away with this.

Dog the bounty hunter is like so many people that wear a mask for the public and take it off when he thinks no one is looking.  His true feelings came out in that private conversation with his son.  If he was not a raceist then his concern should have been for his son's happiness and not the color of his girlfriend's skin.  Wheather the skin is black, white, red or any other color, beneath it we are all the same.  No, I do not think his show should return because he is not a very good example for our kids and everyone knows our kids have enough to deal with without putting people like him in front of them.  On the other hand, it was a private conversation and his son was out to hurt his Dad over his conments.  That family has a big problem.
