STAR-BULLETIN / 2005 Duane "Dog" Chapman gets married to his longtime sidekick, Beth Smith, tomorrow on the Big Island.
Out Of the 'Dog' House
By ALICIA COLON, December 21, 2007
When the chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality, Roy Innis, invited me to join him at a luncheon with Dog the Bounty Hunter, I was slightly puzzled. After all, Mr. Innis was one of the first to call for the TV network A&E to take Duane "Dog" Chapman's show off the air after it was reported that he said the "n" word in a private call to his son. Had he changed his mind?
Since I had never watched the show, I knew Mr. Chapman only from the brouhaha that erupted after the National Enquirer disclosed in late October that his son Tucker had taped him calling Tucker's girlfriend the "n" word several times. Mr. Chapman's show was canceled, and he has since made several television appearances apologizing for his words and seeking to restore his relationship with the black community.

Like Mr. Innis, I too realize that Mr. Chapman is not a racist. Racists do not belong to churches where the pastor is a black man, nor do they have them as friends.

Incidentally, CORE (www.coreonline.org) will hold its Martin Luther King celebration on January 21 at the Sheraton Hotel. A guest of honor will be Senator McCain; Duane "Dog" Chapman will be another special guest. This one may be a sellout.
