Okay, first Imus, a 60-year-old man, blamed his disrespect of black women on his being influenced by rap music.
Now, Duane “Dog” Chapman says that he used the word “nigger” because of “a bond he shares with the black community” but, after the blowback from all of this he says, “I now learned I’m not black at all.”
He stated this on Fox’s Hannity and Colmes. He offered some other gems, too!
“I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother. I’m not.
I didn’t really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people.”
You’re a 50+-year-old white man and you don’t know that the word “nigger” is an insult, particularly when it is used in a profanity-laced tirade, complaining about a black person?
I don’t expect this guy to be a genius, or even particularly smart. But, he should realize that the rest of the world is not stupid enough to buy this.
