From a celebrity’s controversial meltdown caught on tape to nooses cropping up around the country, Dr. Phil and Bishop T.D. Jakes tackle tough racial issues. First up, Dog the Bounty Hunter spewed slurs in a phone conversation with his son, Tucker, and used the N-word repeatedly when referring to Tucker’s black girlfriend, Monique. Monique’s mother, Linda Shinnery, joins the Dr. Phil show via satellite and says she was appalled by Dog’s tirade. Should the reality TV star lose his job over a private conversation? Civil rights activist Al Sharpton, rapper Master P, and BET correspondent Jeff Johnson weigh in. Then, nooses, a symbol of hatred for African-Americans, are cropping up more and more across the country – from Jena, Louisiana to Columbia University in New York. Najee Ali, founder and co-director of Project Islamic Hope, shares his views on empowering the black community and combating stereotypes. Don’t miss this intense debate about racism and sensitivity in America, and find out how you can educate your children. Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Racism

If black Americans want to do away with racism, quit singling your race out. We have BET television, no WET television. We have Ms. Black America pagent, no Ms White America pagent. We have NAACP, No NWACP. We have a Negro College Fund, no White college fund. I think we should just have every thing for all races.

Al Sharpton is as racist as anyone I have ever seen. He is just in it for the money. Someone explain what he does for a living. Racism might die out if people would not bring it up every cahnce they get.

What the Dog said was a private conversation. He should be able to sue every show that DOGS him. I am sure we could tap a lot of phones and here stuff we don't like. His show should still be own. If you do not like him, you do not have to watch him. Come on people, Words can't hurt anyone.

Young Sexy kids ~ media trained for your enjoyment.

How is everyone so surprised at the results of our society's messages to this generation's kids?

We swamp them with images that tell them they are never good enough and should bend themselves to be sexy enough for a man to love.

The men drive the esteem of these women by being in charge of the advertising agencenies,the television world and the entertainment sourses like 'Rock of Love', Survivor, or 'Next'~ pitting people against each other for ego and money.

These people grow up and have children and then teach their young to be narcissistic and unempathetic towards others.

It's been prevailant in our society for years.

'Just say no'?! are you kidding?!

Just say WHY!!!

Then they will not rebel. They will know the concequences of their actions and be a part of the loop.

Communication without reacting

We all need to grow up and talk all ready !!!!! without being 'offended' by another's oppinion.

We need to not just talk, but LISTEN!

11/09 Debate Dr. Phil and the Bishop

I hope Dog will learn from this experience. Yes, he was having a private conversation with his son and what Tucker did was also unforgivable. But Dog, you try to act like a Christian, saying prayers before and sometimes after a chase but then when you are chasing the criminal, a steady stream of filth comes out of your mouth. If you want a good image, then watch the mouth. What are your young children learning from you?

Agree

Quote From: kagiek

I wonder why no one mentioned that most of us still believe we have Freedom od Speech in our own homes. I do not use the N word and never have. However, I think a father has the right to speak to his son ,in the father's house, and not be sold out for money by said son!!!

racism

I am getting a little tired of hearing about how racist the whites are. There have been several shows about racism and it has all been about how racist the whites are. As far as I am concerned, the black race is the most racist group of all!! It seems to me that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, to mention a couple, do everything is their power to keep racism alive. How often do you hear of a black cop shooting a white robber? Trust me, it happens, just noone ever hears about it. When the Dr. Phil house had all the racists in it, everyone was made to see what it was like to be in the other persons shoes, except the one black lady who hated whites. Why wasn't she made to look white and sent into a group of black people? Everyone wants this to become a unified America. Well, until we all become American instead of African American, Asian American, Mexican American, etc. we will never become unified.

regarding the debate

I was particularly touched by the remark about educating people. It seems that our efforts to educate one another have been thwarted by roadblocks that we use to "protect" ourselves. We insist that education does not impose our values on others. How can we effectively educate about this topic in particular when no one wants to say that something is "WRONG". How can we expect people to stop a behavior when they think there is nothing wrong with it?

Totally right!

Quote From: sportsnutstuff

And you are forgetting the Black music awards, the Black busnessmen's magazine, Ebony magazine and on and on... You are right, you never hear "white music awards" (God forbid) or White busnessmen's magazine..... totatally true.

And the Dog's call was private, not on his show..........

Today's show made me sick.

about the dog

dear dr. phil i have been watching your show with my wife every week and do find your show interesting and help full with our home.but i must say that i am a little disappointed about the show with dog he should not have said those things but i was a private conversation. im confused why we would air things like this if we think it may cause some racial tention with people.also i was just wondering why you have never air things like film producers that make movies that make fun of white people or other races like the things said on bet tv black entertainment television . i have been called names like white bread ,snow flake ,whigger cracker just to name a few so should anyone in america ( not white america quoted on your show ) that is called these name contact your show to talk about the affects and maybe invite the kkk , black panthers or the white power groups. i am not a racist but i think we need to quit with it all becuase all races have been hurtfull to each other not just one.

Racists against whites

I am sick and tired of all the media and the Black Americans screaming racist every time there is a Black American involved in a controversy or crime.

I live in Metro Atlanta and believe me, there is just as much racism against White Americans by Black Americans.

I have tiptoed around the Black Americans here enough!
