You know in our world today one has to be very careful in regards to their speech and actions because it might end up on Utube, or be recorded by the National Enquirer.

 Duane “Dog” Chapman who’s on TV Bounty Hunter was having a private conversation with his son.  He wasn’t on a radio show with IMUS, or on Oprah for that matter.  Again he was having a private conversation with his son.  My guess is that he and his son were aruging about his son’s girlfriend who my guess is African American.  Things that were not nice and shouldn’t be said were said and someone just happened to be near enough to record the conversation and splash it across the airways.

So when is enough enough?  Hands down Duane shouldnt have referred to his son’s girlfriend using the “N” word.  He probably refers to her as a bitch, cunt, and whore as well if he uses the “N” word in reference to her.   Those I think are equally as bad as the “N” word.  Do we record people’s heated conversations and splash that language all over the airways and utube?  Hellz no.  But because it’s the “N” word  and it’s like it’s a thousand times worse or something.

Excuse me — news flash.  It’s not.  I think Duane owes his son an apology for being disrespectful regarding his girlfriend, and for that matter he probably owes the girlfriend an apology as well to her face for being a racist asshole.  But to have A & E halt production of his televion show because he had a private conversation recorded — I think that is ridiculous.

We are human people.  We make mistakes. 

I can tell you what though — it will be a cold day in hell when I apologize publicly for calling my husband an asshole or worse during a private conversation.
