New Blog, First Honors Goes to Duane Dog Chapman - Racist of the Day

This is new ground for me, I promise to become more savvy as time goes on. But today I post raw thoughts. I really did not want my first post to be about some insignificant racist idiot but alas this is the world that we live in.

I am sure by now that you have already heard about the Negro chantings of Duane Dog Chapman, The Bounty Hunter. This guy has never been on my radar screen but from what I understand his show is popular. In case you have been under the rock that I usually reside under, here is what he said: http://www.nationalenquirer.com/2007/popup/full-wmv.html

As an African American Woman, I would normally feel some sort of disdain for anyone who used the n$##&% word. But there are a couple of different thoughts that come to mind about this.
He actually says that he doesn't want people to know that he uses the word, I guess it never dawned on him to just find another word to use when he talks about African Americans, uh just for the record "human being" would be a good start Dog. The racist in him could not even consider that sane possibility. Instead, in order to keep his "secret" he wants to keep African Americans outside of his "circle of trust."

For me, the question then becomes do we really want to be able to publicly judge people about words that come out of their mouths in their homes? I really don't! I don't care what some goon is saying after he has a couple of beers or after he has read the Bible since I hear that Dog is a Christian. Dog must read the same Bible that the KKK professed to read before they hung young African Americans from the tree, all of course in the name of Jesus. (Dog, did your pastor know that you were calling him a n#$$%^ behind your Bible?) One look at dude certainly confirms "redneck" to me. So to hear that a redneck looking actor, playing the role of a sane person in a reality show is using the n#$$%^ word at home, with his own adult son is a big YAWN to me. No one I know thinks that white people have ever stopped using this word when we are not around.

So Dog, please drop the fake tears and Lord have mercy, calling Al to your rescue was a big mistake. He is one perm away from being ostracized as an opportunist so my advice is to take your bucks, cut your losses and go back into TP obscurity from whence you came. You played sane for a good little while. You can let it all hang out now.

I can only imagine what Thanksgiving Day dinner will be like at the "Dog house" this year. I predict that at least one turkey leg will be thrown across the table.
