May.15.2008 Dog the Colored Gentleman Hunter is coming back
Do you like racism, bounty hunting, and Hawaii? Well congratulations, your show is coming back on the air, Dog.
Bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman’s TV show will return to the air this summer, months after it was pulled when the reality star used a racial slur in a profanity-laced tirade.
Filming has begun on the fifth season, according to executives with A&E, the cable network that broadcast “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” Reruns of the show will start June 25, with new episodes, including ones from the fourth season that have not previously aired, coming a few weeks later.
“It’s not about ratings,” A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said. “We know his heart. We know him and know he’s not a racist.”
Niger Innis, national chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, said Chapman’s use of the racial slur was wrong. But he noted that Chapman “took ownership of the harm it caused” and “sought to turn his life around.”
Alphonso Braggs, Hawaii chapter president of the NAACP, disagreed, saying Chapman got off lightly for behavior that is “absolutely unacceptable.”
“If individuals see they are able to behave inappropriately with little or no consequence, they will continue that pattern,” he said.
“There was one perfect person, and they called him Jesus Christ,” Chapman said. “You have to … realize that everyone is human, and you can err.”
It’s pretty funny that the chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality is named Niger. Probably for the best that Dog hasn’t met him. I don’t think Dog knows the meaning of a soft G sound. Or many other things, actually.
Fun Fact: Jesus may have been perfect, but I bet he still loved to throw the N word around. So then is that really a bad word? “But Jesus never said that,” you say. Apparently you didn’t read that chapter in the Bible. You know the one. Where he goes to Freaknik and his girlfriend Candy hooks up with a Grambling student. It’s in there. Uh, Chapter 14 I think. The one with that story about the Jews.
