Tail Between His Legs

Dog the Bounty Hunter, the not-racist whose lexicon relies so heavily on the word "nigger" that he would rather not be around black people than stop saying it, appeared on Fox News last evening to change his explanation for his perceived enthusiasm for bigotry from "I was angry" to "I was using it the way black people use it."

I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother. I'm not. I didn't really know until three or four days what that meant to black people.

That settles it: He's cured!

So what, exactly, does "it" mean to black people, Dog?

I never realized that that is like stabbing a black person in the heart.

Well, I never realized that, either, and I'm a black person! Whatever, though. M-fer, you're forgiven.

    I like when he said he thought he could use the n-word as a black woman. You know, because he relates so strongly to the black community that gender also becomes irrelevant.

    You da man, Dog.

    Assuming da man is that guy who'd say anything to save his career and still ends up sounding like an illiterate racist jackass.

    hmmm… kinda reminds me of what I said to jb the other day. Dog, if you have to identify yourself as being "cool enough," chances are that you probably aren't. Learn it. Live it.

    He's "da man" version of Oprah! He can relate to anybody, anywhere, about anything, because apparently he has been everything, except a white woman… but he does that vicariously through his wife, so that counts for something. (Isn't that what he said, or do I need a translator?)
    Anyways, if you stabbed someone in the heart, there's a good chance they'll die… but you know what they say about sticks and stones and words. Although, I think his were more like bricks and bats.

    If he was questioning how cool he is he should have just looked in the mirror. All his questions would have bee answered.

    Don't get me started on the wife… "Attention: In case of an emergency, his wife's breasts may be used as a flotation device."

    Her body looks like it's about to explode. Or that may just be the way she looks in clothes.

    It just looks like she pulled up a truss and gathered and shove up all her extra flab up to the top so it just looks like breasts.

    I must be the only person who actually understands what he's talking about. I get it, and it makes sense.

    There are so many things that seem to be acceptable to say in private … why can't those things be public as well? Why can't we all handle who we really are? We're imperfect beings with prejudices, hates, fears etc. From time to time, we all say things that aren't so nice.

    In my time, I've called Britney Spears white bread/trailer trash/cracker/honkey. I've also called Flava Flav a ni**er. Which one is acceptable to say in public? Why is it ok to say that and not the other one in public?

    There is a difference between a white person and a cracker and a difference between a black person and a ni**er. When we all figure this out, we'll all be better off.

    PS: The irony of my self censorship is not lost on me ….

    Does he know that it stabs puppies in the heart to call himself Dog? Does he think that he's cool enough in the canine community to use that word as a brother?

    WHAT ABOUT THE PUPPIES?!!

    If any network would offer this dude a chance to "explain" himself, it would be FOX News.

    p.s. nice forehead douchebag. Yet another reason not to spend too much time calling people ni**ers in the sun without sunscreen.

    When asked why he used the term, he should have just replied, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, fuck it." Worked for Britney. By the way, he mentioned that he considers himself to be black, so isn't all this a mute point? Don't we wish that was the actual word, so it could be?

    Alice, are you bl*ck? I'm white, but the only disparaging term I've used against other whities (aside from the aforementioned "whities") is Jive Turkey. I don't even know if that's reserved for white people, but it sure seemed like it in the 70s sitcoms.
