    DOG The Bounty Hunter: Racist

    Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

    Offensive language, etc.
    What's so funny about this is all that he said in the interview is coming true (his fears of his racism being known to the press), even in the manner it happened in.

    One semi-celebrity is a racist and I could care less. What about all the closet case racist in politics and real men with power? I rather have my racist in my face!

    Inappropriate language.... I hear that continually.... I am not convinced language makes you racist, nor am I convinced that is this guy is against someone of a different race dating his son makes him racist...

    IMHO... until the 'n word' is condemned by all, and it is not used within another race or 'culture' as a lesser term or even a term of endearment, I will not condemn someone personally for using it (though you will not catch me using it, nor condoning it's use at all)

    Re: DOG The Bounty Hunter: Racist

    I am not about condemning someone without knowing the full story. Hateful language (whether it's used within another culture without those same undertones or not) is not a smart thing to do, but does not indicate racism, as racism is something deeply embeded into one's heart and cannot be PROVEN with just a word or two (although the two go hand in hand often.)

    HOWEVER, I posted this for the reason I mentioned, that the phone call laid out everything he didn't want to happen and it's all happening that which is just freaky.

    I've never even heard of this guy, I don't understand why this is such a big story.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I don't watch it (I've seen it), but it's been on for quite awhile and shows like South Park even parodied it.
