This is common. Probably why most black people are afraid of dogs.
My guess would be fear. If you show fear, the dog thinks you have something to be afraid about and acts his part. More often than white people, black people develop a fear of dogs as children that carries over into adulthood. Not surprising since the favorite dog among black and even Mexican minorities is the most dangerous, Pittbull.
Your dog is not a racists, he is just reacting to the cues provided to him, maybe those cues are provided by you. :eek:
but i always thought that dogs dont see colour.
saying that most black people are affriad of dogs are ... erm lest just say you havent been to Joburg have you ;)
OK. Most black people in the Midwest and Southern U.S. are afraid of dogs. At least that's my experience. I have a neighbor whose 9 year-old boy cries when he sees my weenie dog.Quote:

So, you know this how? I don't know anyone who's afraid of dogs. I know people who don't like dogs but to make this statement.......Quote:

A lot of black kids in this area will run and cry from any dog, even non-threatening ones (see my weenie dog remark above).
I'm not saying every black person is, but in Oklahoma, Texas, et. al, it's pretty common.
I dated tons of black chicks, and most of them did not like me having dogs.
wait are you saying i'm a racist ?Quote:

You're one evil person
yeah here in the uk ive found most black people to be not afraid of dogs
however the local pakistani and bangladeshi muslim community are literally petrified of dogs, one guy actually got down on his hands and knees and prayed to god to save his life as me and my bloodhound walked past him on the street ! which was promptly followed by cries of "allah akhbar" (god is great) that he let him live!
guess it just depends on the area
previously my dogs owner was a big black guy so i dont think its to do with their colour
it might be due to my mum whos south african and generally prejudiced against black people in general
meh i just hope i can get this behaviousr our of him before he mauls some poor guy
possibly but not necessarily.Quote:

Being uncomfortable does not equal hate.
