Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman had a revelation. He’s not black. He also doesn’t use the “N” word in a hateful manner. Because, you know, he’s Dog and dog is down with the people. (This is me rolling my eyes.)
In an interview with Fox News, Dog said he always felt he had a connection with black people and he never said what he did out of hate.
“There’s a special connection that I thought I had between me and black America,” the emotional Dog the Bounty Hunter star told Fox’s Hannity & Colmes. “And I used to say, ‘I’m black, too.’
“In other words, my whole life I’ve been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that…so when I stood there and said, ‘I kind of know what you feel like, because I’ve been there, too,’ that I felt that I could embrace and like, as brothers…say the word.”
“I now learned I’m not black at all, and I never did it out of hate,” Chapman continued. “This sounds so stupid. I always did it out of love. Other white guys would be like, ‘Boy, who does Dog think he is? Dog can say that.’ And black guys would be with me and walk with me and respect me.
“So, I went too far with that.”
Dog is also hinting his son has a drug habit and sold the famous audio tape to support it.
“I don’t know why he would do it, unless there’s some kind of habit or something he needs the money for,”
“There is no excuse,” he said. ”I’m guilty, and I will take my punishment. But the end of what I said is I will do everything there is in my power to make sure people have forgiven me.”
This is America. Next week there’ll be a new scandal and you’ll be forgotten.
