Following yesterday’s leak of Duane “Dog” Chapman’s racial tirade, the tired ol’ redneck released a statement claiming he had “utmost respect and aloha for black people who have suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.” Oh, well maybe you can stop calling “black people” the “n” word?

The National Enquirer obtained a taped conversation between Dog and his son Tucker, in which Dog explained to Tucker that he was firing him until he broke up with his African-American girlfriend, Monique. During the course of the conversation, Dog used racial slurs for no particular reason, other than I guess being an idiot.

“I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world,” he said. “I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.”

Chapman said, “My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation.”

Chapman said the clip was completely taken out of context.

“I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character,” he said. “However, I should have never used that term.”

Chapman said he is meeting with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Tim Storey, who is black, and hope to meet with other black leaders, “so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again.”

“I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing,” he said. “I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me.”

Dog asked Reverend Al Sharpton for help in this matter, but hopefully Al will tell Dog to go eff himself.

A&E suspended production of Dog’s popular reality show.
