Tucker Chapman - Dad’s Show Yanked!

Posted on November 2nd, 2007 in Entertainment by lalate

LALATE BREAKING NEWS - TUCKER CHAPMAN, AND PARENTAL HATRED OF INTERRACIAL DATING.

Word late Friday that A&E Network has yanked bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman’s show from the air indefinitely! Bravo! This is within 48 hours of the Dog making racist statements to his son over his dating an black woman.

“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,” the network said in a statement Friday. “We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun.”

A&E said the show has not been canceled.

As lalate reported to you first, Duane “Dog” Chapman (“Dog the Bounty Hunter,”) is still at the center of a phone conversation he had with his son, Tucker Chapman, in which he used racial slurs. The subject is the Dog’s attempt to have his son Tucker breakup with his black girlfriend Monique Shinnery. Tucker Chapman recorded the conversation then sold it to the National Enquirer.

However, what has become America’s biggest new story today is reaching deeper issues - parental hatred of children interracial dating.

Dog Chapman appologized, saying “utmost respect and aloha for black people who have suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.”

“I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world. I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.”

“My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation.”

Do you think what Tucker Chapman’s father did can be accepted with a simple appology? Do you think a simple “I’m sorry” solves a deeper issue, hatred of children’s interracial dating?

We don’t think so.

    I agree with Dog. Interracial relationships are not for me. It is an oppinion that is one I was raised with as a result of church and my family. I can tell you that I think the language was not intended to be what it has been blown up to be. How many of us say things on the phone in a private conversation that we would not want any one else to hear? We should all be aware of the fact, we do this everyday. I am not condoning his language, nor any racial slurs or implications. Interracial dating offends many of my friends of other ethncities. We have come a long way as a society, but we still have a very great distance to go. As far as Dog’s son, he was motivated by greed, and anger for being cut off by the family, and most of us who do things in the heat of the moment in anger and spite, live to regret our actions. I feel for them all. This kid- has ruined things for his family as a result of his hateful, spite. Karma is a real killer… it will likely come back to him, I just hope he is man enough to handle it all when it comes full circle. The worm always turns.

    Tucker if you get a chance to read this, hindsight is 20/20. Fix this at all costs now, do not lose time over something this stupid. Nothing worthwhile is easy, so work your tail off to fix it. You lost your sister in a moment…. you know first hand life is short….. do not let a minute be wasted with your family….. take every step to make ammends and fix this! And next time be aware that recording someone without their express permission is a violation of the law….. I hope you are not on probabtion or parole…. it might send you back to the inside.

    Dog is a dog. Name and words say it all. He hates blacks and any of his family dating them threating to turn his back on them as a father and from work at family business! Sorry??? Yea sorry his show got yanked! The real victims here are people of color,his son and his beautiful gf!

    Wow…I could not disagree more. Personal choice yes, it’s what separates us from animals…being able to control oneself in anger…another thing that separates us from animals…perhaps the real lesson is that when you know you’re beliefs don’t coincide with the core of someone else…you just don’t go there period. What’s obvious is that here is a son….finally disgusted enough with his fraud father who is representing himself a certain way to the nation…and Tuckers beliefs go FAR beyond money…which they should…and do. “Out of the hearts abundance the mouth speaks…period.” And if you believe what you say you do about race and your “friends of other races” (I think that is funny) it shouldn’t matter where you use your slurs or language not meant for others to hear…you wouldn’t have to say sorry…the KKK doesn’t say sorry, neither does the House of Islam, etc…etc…if you truly believe something…there is no need care what others think or about hurting feelings….you guys need to think a little deeper…

    Tammy, you and Kari are just as ignorant as Dog!! What hole have you been living in, you racist! What year are you living in? What Mormon racist church do you belong? Don’t try to sound all intellectual and concerned speaking about KARMA?? What a joke? If you are not attracted to an opposite race that is your perogative, but to say it’s wrong just shows how much of a complete idiot you are!! And to say this Country has come a long way is CORRECT but with racists like yourslf WE can see there is still a LONG way to go…..I am a white guy and have dated all races and people are people, how are you just going to say interracial dating is not right?? THANK GOD I live in the SF Bay Area where very few small minded, ignorant people like yourself are around…….

    Amen Keith. Tammy is clearly racist. I am married to a man of different ethnicity but we are of the same race, the human race. I was a HUGE fan of the Chapman family and am saddened that I cant support A&E in watching the show any longer. I guess I dont have to worry about it though because A&E is doing the right thing and yanking his show. I too believe in Karma and perhaps this is why Dog had so much trouble with the Mexican authorities. Perhaps this is why this has come to light now, because Karma is coming back to bite him in the ass for speaking so hatefully of his son’s girlfriend. In marrying my husband I was ostrasized from my family but I would do it again in a heartbeat. Tucker has nothing to be ashamed of and the only one who should be seeking remorse is D-O-G. He definitely has that name for a reason and it isnt because he has any faith in G-O-D. He should just remember who G-O-D is and who created all of us.

    This is another shining example of a child getting back at a parent SELLING the PERSOSNAL conversation that was over the phone…regardless of what was said, this is yet another infringement of prying into personal conversations. Tucker should be ashamed, its not what he did to his father, look at what he has done to his family, no show, no money he did not think of anyone but himself. Dog may have been wrong, but Tucker was beneath contempt.

    Not only did he say that he disapproved of his son’s choice of girlfriend but even said that his daughter would be told off if she dated a Black man. What’s even funnier is that Dog claims to be of Native American descent and marries a White woman. That’s interracial so what the hell is his problem? I’m the result of an interracial marriage between a Native American and a Caucasian. I think the most beautiful children result from interracial relationships. Dog needs to shut his pie hole.

    “If Lisa brought home a black guy he would say “F—- her…Yeah!… he’s a real class act, and a great father to boot, and that’s with the racial slur aside. He should not be a role model for children or anyone for that matter, and whether he likes it or not…his fame along with his media exposure gives him that power, and responsibility to act as the role model (he has so failed at). This isn’t an “everybody makes a mistake” moment, because we just went through this issue not long ago, and if it weren’t for his troubled son…we would still believe that duane chapman was an upstanding human being, and for those who say that he is correct in his thinking about interracial relationships or black people in general, then why is he saying the total opposite now….doesn’t that make him a liar as well?

    I’m sure you and others of European decent do agree with dog. I am also sure that you feel that he’s a victim. I can’t comment on his relationship with his son…it’s clear that something’s wrong. This does not surprise me. I am 100% clear that this is what Europeans say to each even in a church which (if it’s Christian) is based on African Spirituality! Here’s the thing though if these are his feelings he should at least be honest about them…his apology should not have been made considering the non-sense it entailed. The fact that his son…from his third marriage no less…did this may be a reflection of his parenting skills. Funny what you, “a church goer” chimed in on. But that too speaks volumes. One should indeed honor thy father, however, it was assumed that fathers would be honorable.

    But it was a private conversation on a phone. Would you have known about it if his son didn`t go and make a buck? Kick the son to the curb. And bring the “Dog” back! So the next time I get a phone call, I`m hoping to record them so I can get money out of it. Morons!!

    Need it be said once more that he is a “bounty hunter” that was the focus of a television show? He wasn’t a religious preacher spewing hate of homosexuals as being responsible for the World Trace Center attacks (700 Club, etc.), or a politician. He caught criminals by means fair and fowl–end of story.

    OK someone please tell me why dog and his family think it is ok to marry Asians,but don’t you dare bring home a black person? well at least 2 of Dog’s sons are married to Asian ladies as well as his co-worker & best friend young blood (Tim).Um hello that’s an interracial relationship dummy! Oh but everyone’s ok with those relationships ,but dog states that he would disown his own children over being with a black person,oh what a great father he is.
    This world is still just as racist as it has ever been the only difference is now people have started hiding their twisted views a little better and deeper ! I think this is karma biting Dog in the ASS for pretending to be someone he’s not!
    I think tucker was tired of his father portraying himself to the world as someone he was not and that’s why he exposed him for the world to see what a real DOG he is! maybe now he’ll stop raising his children with ignorance and hatred towards certain people just because of their race.GOD HATES UGLY.One quick question for Tammy that posted earlier:what church did you grow up in that taught to disapprove of interracial dating/marriage? are we not all human beings? Why would God disapprove of my marriage simply because I am a white human being that married a black human being? please explain that to me…

    It says in the bible you should not mix races. It has nothing to do with being a racist, but Dog obviously meant what he said as racist.

  21. Tammy said,

    on November 10th, 2007 at 6:57 pm

    The fact is it was a PERSONAL PHONE CONVERSATION! People have a right to privacy in their own homes and it is a crime to tape a conversation without the other parties consent. So kudos to you Tucker looks like your headed back to where you just got out of. Karma Tucker Chapman!!

  22. Jordan said,

    on November 11th, 2007 at 2:38 am

    I want to personally thank Tucker!!! How often does a white son informs his father that his vocabulary is ignorant and it is time to change it. For Tammy and Tara..this isn’t about you. No one cares what you think about interracial relationships. This isn’t even about interracial relationships. The issue here is the use of a word that has been used in the past to demean black people. Angry white mobs used that word and yelled is at black “children”, as they walked into a school. That word has been used by people who did not have commense, so they would hang black people and gathered around the suffering person as some sort of entertainment.

    So when that word is used today, black people are haunted by those images, and how their ancestors, and family members were treated. To black people that word is a threat to their existence. They have every right to be offended, and they have right to defend themselves when a racist people use that word.

    I would say I do not think Dog Chapman is a racist. I think is just needs to make smarter decisions, and change his vocabulary.

    RIGHT ON, DOG !
    Chapman has a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to his oppinion. The VERY PEOPLE he supposedly “offended” with ONE SIMPLE WORD use that very same word at least 3 or 4 times EVERYTIME they attempt to put words into a sentence. Chapman was totaly right in his concerns about the girl recording him JUST to get EVEN with his family for rejecting her BECAUSE HIS OWN SON ENDED UP DOING THE RECORDING FOR HER ! CAN YOU SAY, “IRONY” ?
    GOD BLESS AMERICA and FREEDOM OF SPEECH ! It seems like EVEYONE has the freedom of speech unless you’re a WHITE person. White people are VICTIMS of REVERSE disscrimination everyday this planet rotates. TUCKER CHAPMAN, SHAME ON YOU ! You sold your SOUL for a few bucks and that girl you sold it to will LEAVE YOU as soon as she finds a BLACK MAN ! THAT’S who she should be with, ANYWAY ! Listen to your Dad, boy. He can teach you about life. You have obviously messed yours up.

    Funny how so many are soooo quick to pass judgement, I think that both did some things they will always regret. But I know that there isn’t a parent out there that hasen’t lost it in trying to reach their child, could Dog have used some better words sure, But his son could have not recorded the conversation. If any of you are without sin let him cast the first stone.
