‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ Cancelled; A&E Cancels ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’
A&E cancelled “Dog the Bounty Hunter” on Friday after the show’s star Duane “Dog” Chapman was recorded spewing a racist rant about his son’s Black girlfriend. (Read More About That Here)
The network suspended the show Wednesday after the National Enquirer posted the tape online.
In a statement, the network says:
“In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ off the network’s schedule for the foreseeable future,” A&E said in statement. “We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.”
(Good, hopefully he won’t end up back on television like that other bigoted asshat, Isiah Washington. People stupid enough to use epithets against others in a setting where it can come back to bite them in the butt, deserve exactly what they’ve got coming to them.)

Well, after hearing this news, I look forward to the healing process. People don’t realize that , that’s the problem, when you are able to say racist remarks in the privacy of your own home, but pretend to be so loving, and caring on the out side. Remember “the scriptures says : out of the heart flows the issues, in otherwords the problem is not on the out side but in the inside of Dog the Bounty Hunter. And I forgive him, but he has to deal with the problem at hand and that’s this thing. Deal with it, and then it will pass, but deal with it first.
