Dog The Bounty Hunter discusses his views on interracial relationships and his work to his son, Tucker.
Full audio here.
"This man should not be held up as a role model for children"

I didn't realize he was.

Given the current racial climate (among blacks anyway, I doubt many whites have much knowledge of recent events in this area), this has the potential to be more explosive than Imus. Not that Dog has any more celebrity value than Imus, but the confluence of events occurring now was not present when Imus or the Seinfeld guy pulled their stunts. A lot of events are getting major blog coverage and even some MSM coverage but the bulk of the information available to the public comes from black radio.

Keywords: Jena 6, Megan Williams, columbia noose, Pleajhai Mervin, Martin Lee Anderson, Sean Bell, DeOnte Rawlings, TI gun

If you have any interest in the anti-racism issue or just like a good flame war, fire up Google Blogs and sort by date.

And if you're near a cable TV in about half an hour:

CNN: Noose- The American Nightmare

I did the section of this show that's about historical lynchings in the U.S., and it was one of the most emotionally difficult things I've ever worked on. (The show will repeat this weekend, too, but I don't know the exact times.)

This is awesome. This is an FPP. People need to hear this.

So he'll be rotting in a Mexican prison, right? Pleeeeeease?

Boring: Yikes. The CNN link asks, "Noose incidents: Foolish pranks or pure hate?" Oh, those mischievous scamps and their impish threats of murder. So incorrigible!

Dear United States,
Are you sure you want to be represented around the world by a news network based in Atlanta?
Just wondering,
Reggie
