Dog the Bounty Hunter Pretty Much Hates "Niggers"
He seems so nice on tee vee, but in real life Dog The Bounty Hunter is more like Dog The Hate Mongrel. The National Enquirer has just released audio of the A&E star explaining that he wants his son to break up with his "nigger" girlfriend.
TMZ reports that Rev. Al Sharpton has already been notified and has begun polishing his black ass for the upcoming press summit and standard butt-smooching slash apology slash blame it on booze or steroids and get sent to racehab.
The gossip rag threw fuel on the fire by calling Roy Innis and playing him the tapes:
In a shocking world exclusive The ENQUIRER has obtained tapes of two revolting phone conversations in which Duane "Dog" Chapman unleashes a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults. The star of the A&E reality show Dog, The Bounty Hunter directed his racist hatred at his son Tucker's girlfriend Monique Shinnery, who is black.
"Dog Chapman should not have a show. That show should be taken off the air!"
That's the opinion of prominent civil rights leader Roy Innis, who has served as the chairman of the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) since 1968. Innis was shocked and outraged when The ENQUIRER played Dog Chapman's racist telephone conversations for him.
