I do not agree with the sentiments of "Dog" (I am not used to using that as a first name), but this quote is from a private phone conversion between his son and himself.
The only reason this conversion was out, was because his son released the information after being paid 15,000 dollars by the Media.
Is there not a difference between what a person says privately, and what they say publicly? Imagine if every word we said privately was scrutinized and aired. Think about the conversion we had with our wife, where we happened to say a disparaging remark about our Boss, Co-worker, or Relative.
Shouldn't we be allowed to be a jerk and say stupid, politically incorrect things in private without the whole world knowing it.

I agree Dbackers, but I think the point most Blacks would make about this is that if he did not like the woman (he never even met her) he could call her all kinds of good adjectives, metaphors and similes, but he fell on the racial part which is something that is not about behavior or attitude.
I saw an interview with Dr. Phil and Larry King last night. Dog is supposed to be on Dr. Phil soon where Dr. Phill will attempt to get the real story out of him the way a psychologist would.

I agree Dbackers, what I can't stand is the hypocrisy. Why doesn't he admits he does not like Black people? The ridiculous excuse that the reason he is not happy with his son dating a Black woman is because in his house they use the N word (not in a hateful way according to him) is stupid. For one side he says:

If Lyssa [Dog's daughter] was dating a n..., we would all say 'f...' And you know that. If Lyssa brought a black guy home ya da da... it's not that they're black, it's none of that. It's that we use the word n..." |

The fact is that the rest of us live under different obligations than do celebrities. We are allowed to be jerks when we are at home and say things we might otherwise wish we had not, but a celebrity is different. As part of the deal they made for their stardom, they have to live to a different code. It is like a being a President. Would you want your president to rant like Mr Dog did in this conversation? Of course not... We all have this idea that people in that position are above such things...they might think it but we don't want or expect them to actually say it. If they cannot live with this job requirement, then drop out of the spotlight and no one will care anymore...

Seems like all his tears and begging has worked - Dog's show will be back on A&E once again. I don't know the timetable, but so says Showbiz Tonight.
