On Nov. 6, Duane "Dog" Chapman appeared on Fox New's "Hannity & Colmes" to apologize for his recent racist remarks towards his son's African-American girlfriend, which was caught on tape and made public thanks to the "National Enquirer."

With a straight face, Dog explained that he felt he had a "special connection" with African Americans and that he used to say, "I'm black, too."

"I thought I was cool enough to the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother. I'm not. I didn't really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people... I never realized that that's like stabbing a black person in the heart."

And, to top it all off, Dog also admitted that he used to think he was black.

"In other words, my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that... so when I stood there and said, 'I kind of know what you feel like, because I've been there, too,' that I felt that I could embrace and like, as brothers... say the word.

"I now learned I'm not black at all, and I never did it out of hate. This sound so stupid. I always did it out of love. Other white guys would be like, 'Boy, who does Dog think he is? Dog can say that.' And black guys would be with me and walk with me and respect me."
