Racist dogs! Weird.

My dog barks and growls at black people. Of course he growls and barks at people walking, riding a bike, lawnmowers and honked horns.

I've seen black people's dogs bark at white people.

Dogs just know they are strangers and that's why they bark. Color doesn't have anything to do with it.

Not mine, if there two strangers (one white, one mexican) he'll bark at the mexican everytime.

He barks at all strangers untill he realizes that there not a threat, but he'll keep barking at a mexican for as long as he/she is around.
 
My pitbulls are Racist. If a non White comes near them, they wanna tear that person up. If a White walks up, they jump on them and lick their face. Funny as hell. Where I live there are tons of blacks and mexicans, and my dogs go crazy. Gawd I love those dogs.
 
I call Bullshit.. in the case from the original news story posted. the dog targeted hispanic or black men with baggier clothes, and carrying something.. My guess is that he had been abused, or somehow hurt by someone in simular looks. I have been around dogs all my life, and the only thing as far as "racism", I have noticed, is that of dogs not liking bad people.. like they can sense the evil in them.. (IE, my father. Every dog I have ever seen near my father growls, barks, ect).
 
I have been around quite a few dogs that go nuts when black dudes are around. Probably are arfaid that the dude is gonna steal their collar or dog toys or something.

I thought dogs were color blind?

Why can't someone do a quick, easy test? Have a balck person come up to the dog, see it's reaction. Then 15 seconds later, have a white person come up (same type of lcothes, size, etc.). Is it really that hard to create a simple test like that?

bet ya 10 bucks he'll bark at both of them.

My dog barks at all strangers, but he's normally wagging his tail when he does it. When the UPS guy comes (black) he really barks/growls/snarls and the hair stands up on his back. He gets fucking PISSED - I don't know why.

Especially since my dog is black too. crazy dog. =)

The dog you see in my avatar is about the friendliest dog in the world. Loves everyone, but even she gets a little uneasy when a black dude is around. If you look at my avatar, you can see her collar is iced out and blinging like there is no tomorrow. You would think she would be down wit the homies.
 
Not odd at all....

Two theories....

1. You can make a dog racist by training. I knew a woman that trained her dog to bark at blacks. She just rewarded it for being agressive towards them and punished it for being agressive towards whites.

2. Dog see humans as a different breed of dog. I suppose if they don't see different ethnic types around you often enough, they see them as belonging to a different "pack" of dogs. Hence, the agression. This part comes from a dog trainer that explains the "human-like" behavior of many dogs....they're mimicing the other "dogs" in their pack.

The dog is simply mimicking your behavoir and tensions.
 
I had a parrot that hated women. He would fly into their hair and peck at their skulls the moment they walked into the room if he wasn't caged. He also impersonated the sound of a vacuum cleaner every time my wife was in the room, a stereotyping comment on the compulsive cleaning of some Latin women.

I think you are right, Wodin. The parrot was enacting my closeted ambition to be a hair stylist and my wish to spend a single day at home without the smell of Lysol and stirred dust in my nostrils.

It could be. I for one have the Mr. T starter kit going around my neck, and i am currently working on my platinum cut grill. I myself get uneasy when black dudes who are fully gangstered out get around me, because they were born into what i one day hope to fully achieve, yet probably never will. Why cant i be black? I try so hard. I think my doggie suffers from this as well.

It looks like your dog has the starter set also!

Yup. My dog slangs a little cat nip and milk bones to the other pets of the neighbor hood on the side. Some call it destructive, irresponsible behavior, i call it resourceful. I am a little worried about it though. She started accepting paypal, and we know those guys can fuck ya.
 
I've never met a dog that didn't like me. Some aggressive ones may bark at first, but I find that I win them over within a few seconds. I think dogs can sense whether you are a threat.
 
This often has to do with socialization of the dog when it was a pup. That's why it's a good idea to take your pup out and introduce it to as many different people, kinds of people, kids, animals, machines, stairs, elevators, etc., as possible.

My GSD's purpose in life is to rid the world of evil, bushy-tailed tree rats.
