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

I dont even know if i want to watch the show to tell ya the truth.  I hope its not going to be a slam the Dog show cause if A&E dont put Dog the bounty hunter back on I will never watch it again.  Dog is a human being and was in a dispute with his rebelous son.  Its his privacy no matter what he said its personal between him and his son.  Words are going to be said in this day and age.  It may not be right but we all try to be good people.  One mistake compared to all the people this man has helped comon hes got the right to let that one go I think and only God has the right to judge him not  Dr Phil nor Bishop TD Jakes so I hope these men dont loose my respect for them if they go about trashing a Good God fearing Man as they both are.  Get over it and why arent they going after those nasty Rap artist saying that word and more.  LET GOD DO HIS JOB AND JUDGE ITS NOT FOR US TO DO IT.

How can you compare rappers to Dog.  Number one rappers are not the only people who call women bitches and hoes there are many other ethnic groups that disrespect women as well.  Now here you go turning this into racial tension.  Y ou have never heard any Black famous person talk about a person of a different race in a negative manner now have you.  If it were to happen you would be trying to send this person to death row.  I watched his show since it been on.  My husband and I remained loyal viewers we are good enough to pay his bills but not to date his kids something is clearly wrong with this picture.   And dont forget that Dog had his second chance.  He was released about seven years ago for murder.  Many of the rappers cant rap about something that they have not done but he can.  Learn to love and live your life you. maybe one day you might run across a Black person that is not all that bad.  I dont know you but if I ever see you I wish we could embrace each as one.  God loves all shouldnt we.

When Americans don't address bigotry and the like, then this is what happens. What about people like Dr. PHil. If he got caught saying things like this, he would be in deep kempshi and his career would be over and/or damaged for the rest of  his life.

This guy Dog, deserves to lose his show. Not only was he using the word, but he was insensitive enough to use the word in relation to his sons girlfriend. So, if he will use it against his own flesh and blood,(in the sense he did not care about his sons feelings) think about the people who aren't in his family.  This guy is really a nasty piece of work. To even say that people don't have souls is outrageous and is a sign of deep, deep, hate and bigotry and the like. When you say that kind of stuff you dehumanize that group and make it easier to get rid of them. Don't forget this is what was done to Jews in Nazi Germany and millions of them were murdered!!!!  Yes, it is that serious because it starts this way, a little bit at a time.

And to hear this guy say he thought he was close enough to the African American community to reference anyone like he did on the phone with his son is hog wash!!!  This guy knew better and the proof IS in his conversation with his son!!!! He knew he would lose it all by saying those words!!!!  His tears on the show were for him getting caught and being so STupidddd!!!  That reverse psychology crap doesn't fly with a thinking human being!!!!!

Also, this is his son, who has probably heard these derogatory remarks all his life and wanted to expose his father for the "real" person he is. To do it nationally was maybe harsh, but who knows the "hell" he has put his son through. This kind of exposure is necessary in my opinion to avoid a dangerous under current of deep seeded hate that still exists in America.

This guy and people like him are examples of why nooses are being hung up in America and why a black man, in the late 20th century was dragged to death behind a truck until he was literally all over the place. (North Texas) YES, he should lose what he has worked so hard for! If he had really wanted to protect his lifestyle and career, he would not have used such words in the first place in any situation.

This society is too soft on racism. In my opinion, America is a place where part of the assimilation process of immigrants is racism American style.  They (immigrants) come with the media's version of minorites and then they get to practice it when they arrive.  Our society is conducive to it. Just pick up the paper and read about it!!

But Seriously, what makes this guy Dog any different from IMUS!!! 

A & E has the ability to terminate "Dog the Bounty Hunter" if they so choose to do so, however, it will be like saying to us "Don't mess up or we'll cancel you".  I believe even the Dr. Phil show has more controversial issues than Dog the Bounty Hunter.  I don't look for CBS to cancel Dr. Phil anytime before the Millenium.

What is said in private, should stay private.  We have a disgruntled young man full of vengeance and a bounty hunter faced with losing his livelihood.  Does that make any sense to y'all?  What Dog Chapman does in the privacy of his own home is no one's business.  And, because he is a parent, he does have the right to express his personal opinion about the women his son dates.  You can be sure as I'm siting here that if my son brought someone home whom I felt was of questionable character or behavior, I would express my opinion . . . .just not on the phone.  Just because someone is 18 does not give them a license to not be your child anymore.  Parenting doesn't stop because your son or daughter turns 18. 

My son is 22, he lives at home; attends technical school, has a part-time job and we attend church together as a family twice a week; if not more.  I don't ever have to worry about where he is; because he is either at school, at work, or at home, or at a church function.   Good old-fashioned family values do work

if YOU WORK at them and allow them in to your life.

Dog might be a Christian, but being a Christian means you have to be a Christian 7 days a week,not just when it's convenient.  He has a very long way to go toward salvation and I think this latest escapade conjured up by a spoiled rotten brat will only serve to make Brother Chapman a stronger person.  People are entitled to their opinions about all different ideas,people, work, etc., it's what makes us who we are.

However, I do remember Calvin Coolidge's quote "I have never been hurt by anything I did not say".

(BTW, he was one of our U. S. Presidents)
