Dog the Bounty Hunter star Duane “Dog” Chapman recently came under fire for a rather bizarre comment that he made during an interview. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Chapman claimed that he received a “pass” to use the n-word. Naturally, the comment hasn’t gone over well with those on social media, who have wasted no time in sharing their thoughts about the matter.
Chapman spoke with the publication shortly after his daughter, Bonnie Chapman, alleged that he was racist and homophobic. In response to her accusations, he said, “I have never been a racist. I’m 33.5 percent Apache. But because of over 15 years ago, I have an Achilles’ heel because I used the wrong word.” The reality TV personality went on to claim, “I thought I had a pass in the Black tribe to use it, kind of like Eminem.” When pressed on who exactly gave him this “pass,” he said that it was “the brothers” when he was in prison. “I had just gotten out of prison in 1979 after spending time, 18 months in Texas and it was probably three-fourths from the Black tribe. So that was a word that we used back and forth, as maybe a compliment,” Chapman said. “My pass expired for using it but no one told me that.”
