Do you forgive Dog the Bounty Hunter for his racist slur?

Question

I usually watch the show. I've seen him try and prevent people from ruining their lives or ruining them even further, whether they're white, black, asian, whatever. Even though his message sounded very racist, I really do not believe he is, instead he is just using the language and thoughts he grew up with. In the end I believe that he was done more good to try and set an example for people who's lives aren't on track and for people before they throw their lives away, so I forgive him. What do you think?

Answer 1

Since he was using the words in a private conversatioin and said int he heat of anger AND was not SAID TO A BLACK PERSON...I see nothing to dislike him for.

Answer 2

I do not hold a grudge for his 'slur'. As previous poster mentioned, it was a PRIVATE conversation and said in the heat of the moment.

That said, I think he used poor judgement in his wording, but I do understand exactly what he was trying to convey--it wasn't about the color of her skin but the lifestyle she leads.

It is the equivalent of saying a white person is WT, in my opinion.

Answer 3

I think he did good by going on larry king live.

I do believe that he is going to make a positive difference from this incident.

Shame on his son for doing what he did... just to make an easy buck by selling the tape.

Answer 4

I see nothing wrong with what he did. His son is the one that recorded the whole thing.

if people get affended over this crap - they are very shallow. Black people call us whitetrash all day long but the minute we come back with this word all hell breaks out

what the f&*% ever

Answer 5

Not up to me to forgive.

Answer 6

Of course i do, he is my hero.
