really? you're gonna fight 'm? at 14 or 44? you have a lot to learn in the real world bud. your ideas will change when you get outta puberty. i've lived it and i've seen it. i've seen a lot of blacks who will do exactly what you stated and it got them NOWHERE. hard lessons to learn. everyone, not just the blacks should just be happy with who they are and KNOW who they are and where they come from. nobody can EVER take that away and if they believed in themselves as such, there would be no reason to fight over such idiotic words

now if they said a momma joke, them is fightin' words! haha no j/k....hmmm....whatever

I have never been to Prison, but even if I had been, I would never use this word in either of its forms.
Just the way I have been programmed.
Lots of words I don't use. For similar reasons. Racial slurs are demeaning.
I recognize your right to use the terms as you deem appropriate, based on your being raised in the 'hood, or not.
It simply isn't in me to degrade an entire group.

Dog "the Bounty Hunter" Chapman was wrong to use the term in any reference. Period. Just my opinion.

WHISKERS_W - YOU'RE A FOOL AND VERY UNEDUCATED!

In my opinion, *BLEEP* and *BLEEP* are one of the same. *BLEEP* is just easier to pronounce for the black man and because of this and because of the excessive use to create different definitions of the word, people seem to think it's ok to use *BLEEP*. where the hek do you think the term *BLEEP* came from? it's sounds almost the same! obviously it came from the other N word. don't fool yourself in thinking that it nly means "man"....or in california talk, "dude" or "homie" we all already know that calling someone a *BLEEP* is disrespectfull so i will stop refering to that one except to say you must be one if you want to talk about DOG being racisit.

white people can't even get away with saying the word *BLEEP*. they will be shunned by the black community. why? because they know the main definition is derogatory. the blacks created their own click just like fat people or any other people that become catagorized by society. believe me. fat people can tell fat jokes, but don't be going around telling fat jokes around fat people if you're not FAT!

the white man has laughed at the black man for year loving how you call eachother "*BLEEP*" and think it's ok! you know...those racists like you think dog is? you're a JOKE to the majority of the people out there. i want to let you in on the hidden secret out there. what about niglet? yet another made up word like *BLEEP* that comes from the N word you idiot. don't brag about being a "brutha" until you start respecting your BROTHERS! notice the A at the end of brutha? notice the missing R? notice the same thing with the word "*BLEEP*"? are you following me? why it has become aceptable, i don't know! i hate the N word in ANY FORM! even when you idiots are calling eachother *BLEEP* back and forth....even when i know YOUR definition of it, i know where it came from and it's derogatory, PERIOD!

now as far as DOG being racist? hell no! if he called someone the N word, then it was either a mistake or this black fella wasn't nice, disrespectfull, and dog was just mirroring his image. i have seen dog disrespct the black man just like i've seen him disrespect the white man, and any other idiot who wants to play games and try to step up to dogs responsibility in doing his job and prevent him from doing just that. sometimes dog has to mirror other peoples derogatory image or he will get run over and unable to properly preform his job duties when he goes in to not so nice neighborhood. he has to let people know he's there for the fight and wont be pushed around. that's a bounty hunter, bud.

i went to a 99% all white school until they started busing in black for racial integration. my mom was against it. i for one can say that i am all for it after living the experience. i think my mom is partially racisit in some indirect way, but she was a teacher when i was growing up and the blacks loved her. she's just misinformed about people i believe. i used to get in all sorts of fights with the blacks. why? good question! i didn't start 'm. it's how they were raised, take down the big guy and you'll be respected by your homies. we had about 5-6 black gangs get bused in to my school and these a-holes were picking on me haha. would you believe that i gained their respet by fighting back? it also helped when they found out my mom taught some of them and word got around that she was very cool so eventually i was off limits. i was in a click now i was afraid to be in. why? because these gangsters would bring weapons to school and trust me enough to show them off to me....and yes....guns included....in SCHOOL!

now although i don't condone the N word, i've used it with no regrets because sometimes, in situations, i have to stand up to myself and mirror other people's image just to gain repsect. to show fear is being WEAK in the black community. they called me cracker or pillsberry boy. i called those people the N word. if i were to call them "you mean black man", that would have gotten my A** kicked for being WEAK haha. a black man threw something and hit me with something in the library during lunch. i was with my click that consisted of a black guy, a couple asians and a couple whities. so i looked at this guy straight in the eye and told him....i have nothing against black people(it was a black man who threw the object), i think everyone should own one. i had to stand up for myself without throwing something back or that would have just caused a fight right then and there. a joke and a little humiliating did the job. he sized me up after the bell rang and i waited for him outside...for about 1 mintue he just circled me and i just stood there not saying a word and him not saying a word. this is how you deal with the anger the black man has in certain parts of the country.

you talk about one man being racist when he's not....i can talk about 100's of your "bruthas" being racist and for better reasons than you gave about DOG!
you have the writing skills of an educated man, but you need to educate yourself more on what it takes to survive in a cruel world and why people do and say the things they do. doesn't make them racist and doesn't mean they are bad people. heck, sometimes it does....

don imus, i peronally don't like. not because he used the N word but because i just don't like him for some reason....howard stern though is #1 in my book. you gonna call him racist too? but even i know don imus made a mistake and he should NOT have gotten fired for something that is politically incorrect. the N word is just that. a WORD for god sake. get over it if people make a mistake! society has put so much pressure on certain things that the word becomes more well known than if society just didn't talk about how bad it is. society a more dispicable definition to a word that shouldn't be as dispicable. it's a WORD and there is such a thing called a slip of the tongue. honest people sometimes make honest mistakes.

now, i used to live in los angeles. i now live in warsaw, missouri. a small town. i have traveled the the south and up in to n. carolina. N word this, N word that in the white communities. the same people claiming they aren't racisit or they like the black man, they are just used to saying the word. with some people i believe it in how they might have been raised by racist parents....but others....no....i don't believe them and i step up tellin' 'm not to say that crap around me. it embarrasses me and i don't want to be associated with people who use it. i use my own disrcrection to to try to guide and teach those that are willing to listen...or the community that i live in now that uses the word. my favorite parts of the united states was the south. traveling through the black communites with a STRONG sense of culture. not ONCE did i ever hear them use the word "*BLEEP*". why? because if it was something good, they would have adopted it in their culture.

fact is brutha, i am a white man and know more about the diversified black culture than you ever will. i even spent a month in africa. my best times was late at night when our group was asleep and i was having beers with the black workers and tribesmen who live there. even there, not ONCE did anyone utter the word "*BLEEP*"
the word "*BLEEP*" came from the ghetto. it's ghetto talk in big cities. it's non existent in small town like where i live now. gets your facts straight before you utter another word about DOG and what you think are acceptable words like "*BLEEP*". i may be prejudice in some senses, but i have NEVER been racist. you on the other hand is the pot calling the kettle black(excuse the pun). there is a reason why oprah may despise you and your kind. it's because oprah is well respcted for a reason and she was well raised with good morals and values and with a good heart. you even admit that bill cosby and her dispise people like you. that's not something to brag about my *BLEEP*, it's something to do some soul searching on and grow up on out of the ghetto.

now, if you take offense to this post, so be it. hope you don't. hope you know i am making a strong point and arguement that is well needed. you're my example. do yourself and others a favor and live responsibly in respecting others. DOG didn't hurt you yet you feel the need to down him and his name. do some soul searching like a said and spread the word and live by example. in all honesty, i believe you have been making an honest mistake. it's up to YOU to realize it and do something to reverse whatever YOU put in other peoples head thinking that it's ok to do or say certain things in this life.

and again, i have been wrong several times my own self wether it was a slip of the tongue or telling an inappropriate joke at an inappropriate time. i'm no angel but at least i know what's right from wrong so i know better in the future when i make a mistake and learn from it. do the same, kid(can also be substituted for "man" but you already knew that didn't ya)....be smart
