Ok, this is the first time I've heard any of this stuff about African Americans and dogs. I've known lots of African Americans and Hispanic Americans who have dogs. Maybe I just never thought about it? Or maybe it's a regional thing?
I know that in the Yucatan, there were many families that had dogs, they were even walking around the museum at Chichen Itza.
The guide said the Maya were superstitious and believed that spirits lived in the jungle. The dogs protected them from the spirits when they travelled through the jungle.
I think maybe regional. I know plenty hispanic people who are good with dogs. I know others who tease the sh!t out of dogs who are behind a fence then are terrified when that dog is out on a leash for a walk. Seems to me, most people who are afraid of dogs have a reason, either a dog attacked them un-prevocked. Or they prevoked a dog and now suspect an attack. Then there are the truely moronic who act as if they're being mortally wounded when a dog jumps up on them and leaves a mark by accidentally racking them with thier claws.:rolleyes:
my dog doesnt hate anyone. he barks at everyone when they knock. when they get in the house, he loves them to death!! DEATH IS THE NEW WEAPON!
It must be regional. My dogs only bark at Koreans and Basque separatists.
I always chalked it up to the "dogs can scent evil" credo. I guess I was wrong.
*snort* Does he need a reason?
It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with socio-economics. When most people in a given population sample have had most of their interactions with dogs via the local punks protecting drug routes or cops hunting those same punks, you are going to associate dogs with something dangerous. Shocking.
because of your english and south african decent, your racism is built in and subconscious. Because, if we can evaluate that all blacks are afraid of dogs, then all S.A anglophiles are racist!
easy math!
erm... you talking to me david jameson?
but all south africans ARE racists. Thats just the way it flows down here.
you should watch more news :cool:
im just talking sh1t because i have nothing better to do this morning. :)
