Aileron Posted November 3, 2007 Report Posted November 3, 2007 In one of those dumb snippets of celebrity news, it seems that Dog the Bounter Hunter was caught using racism in a private cell phone conversation and has since lost his job. He was talking to his son, who turned around and sold a recording of it to the tabloids. I view this borderline ridiculous. People threw this big !@#$%^&* on how a few years ago the NSA was going to keep track of the phone numbers of people who've been talking to Al Queda a dozen times over...where are those people now? In my mind, the NSA list would have been a legitimate cause, and the "due cause" for the "search" would have been the fact that the person has been talking to Al Queda a lot. However I digress. There is no way that the public needs to know if someone uses racist speech in a private phone conversation. Its not even celebrity news if you think about it...this guy never was a sophisticated high class public speaker, and poor political correctness should be expected from him. Heck, I've heard the clip, and from the sounds of it, he was afraid to be around black people because he knows he made a habit of using poor speech and was afraid of this exact thing happening. But what the point of this? Should the NAACP tap into every phone conversation in the country and fine any white person who says the "n" word on the phone? The speech can't offend anyone if its done in private. Not that they've taken action yet, but any action taken by any "civil rights" group against this speech would be far beyond their justifiable bounds.
ThunderJam Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 From what I've seen of the dude on tv, like you said, hes never been sophisticated. Hes the rugged ex-con who has turned to doing something good, altho he's still goes about it in somewhat unconventional methods. It didn't surprise me he says racist things, and probably wouldnt surprise me if he still smoked pot, and did other crap. what's the big deal? Half the celebrities do way worse. Theyre overplaying it imo.
X`terrania Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 This reminds me of the Alec Baldwin issue. Why the !@#$%^&* is anyone even getting involved? This is none of our business...
JDS Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 i say the "n" word(lol) on the phone all the time free speech is free, exspecialy when done in private. wish they'd Stop trying to censor us.
ra$ta420 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 This is !@#$%^&*,but hes on t.v and they live by a 'double standard' . We need to round up all the people who take pics of 'stars' and burn them alive. I hate everything about 'stars' in USA but thats a whole other topic.
