I think the son in question IS ALREADY a convicted felon. I am thinking he did some time in prison for robbing a guy of his drugs a few years ago.
Early in the long-version of the tape, Dog was making a point to say it’s “not because she’s black”...and quantifying that the n-word they use is to describe a low class loser type of person (be they white, hispanic, black, etc). When he’s using the n-word, it’s not used only against blacks, it’s more specific to class than race. I see where he’s going with that, but he’s facing an awful high mountain to climb to pull himself out of this one, simply because of the stigma of using that word. It’s too bad, because I think by and large Dog is a good person who pulled himself up for a bad early station in life.
