Maybe, or maybe not, but when, oh when will parents learn.... Parents, if you try to challenge or come between your children about the men/women they are in love with, your children will most likely turn on you. This is a battle you probably can't win, so why alienate your children by trying?
Is ANYONE asking who taped and leaked this conversation or is it a given that his son did so because he was PISSED that his dad refused to accept his black girlfriend; I submit it was the latter.
If I understand correctly, this was a conversation between Dog and his son whom he wanted to break up with his black girlfriend because he was afraid she would be offended by some of the language they used when he brought the girlfriend around, and that she would in turn go crying to the press about him, right? Well, DOG, as an black person, I COMPLETELY understand what you were saying. I admonish other black people that potential employers are saying the same thing behind your back ("don't hire them, they'll sue you for descrimination") and it's hurting us all. I think many are way too sensitive regarding this word. It'll be a cold day in hell before I every give someone else's words that much power over me because they are just that, words. After all, hatred resides in a person's heart, it's there regardless of the words they use, or whether they smile in my face. I don't have time to be offended by someone's words, and I ESPECIALLY don't have time to be offended by those words used by someone who doesn't have malice in their heart (I don't know which category the DOG falls into).
Obviously, A&E will do what is needed to keep their advertisers happy and I hope the DOG learns an important life lesson from this; If you consider it private, keep it private, because any and everything you do (especially if you're in the spotlight) has the potential to be exposed at some point. Trust no one, ESPECIALLY not a child who you're trying to come between them and the "love" of their life.
