* “It’s a real phenomenon. Lots of dogs treat Blacks differently.
Never heard anything about cats, though.”
Are you joking or you serious? Are you talking about police dogs? Because they attack thugs regardless of race, ethnicity, or color.
Maybe you have seen this film one too many times.
* I suppose you could say that a dog owned by a white person picks up on their “owners” inherent racism or fear or something, and reacts to a black person based upon what the dog’s perceives as their owner’s agitation.
But I’ve seen this effect before. Blacks, at least the ones I’ve known are very uncomfortable around dogs. And I think the dog picks up on that.
I can’t say I know much about other ethnicities and dogs, but I can tell you white people are a lot more comfortable around them. Whether that is genetic… hell I don’t know. Seems like everything is genetic around here. Russians are probably genetically selected to play chess or something.
But going back to the dogs, it is a real thing. If you’ve actually spent much time around both your would have observed it.
Be kind of interesting to see if this is cultural, or whether there is something else going on with it. I’d tend to think it is cultural, mainly because I don’t have the slightest idea of what else it could be.
* If you have a dog in your yard and the sons of Obama snoop around your house, nothing may get stolen because you have a dog. However, your dog is going to get trained real quick that dark skin and negro smell (and every race has a smell – if Mongoloids can smell white people and we can smell subcontinentals, dogs can probably break it down to ethnicities) equals suspicious character. Basic Skinner.
* It’s a real phenomenon. Lots of dogs treat Blacks differently.
Probably nurture, and not specific to blacks. Dogs raised by whites (with few blacks around) see blacks as odd and therefore threatening, and vice versa.

No, he’s serious. Well, racist dogs are a real thing, anyway.
I suppose you could say that a dog owned by a white person picks up on their “owners” inherent racism or fear or something, and reacts to a black person based upon what the dog’s perceives as their owner’s agitation.
Maybe. But the behavior applies to dogs with owners nowhere to be seen. The fact that blacks have a very different skin color, and a very different smell, would probably be exhibit A. Dogs usually establish their owners as the baseline, and if they aren’t accustomed to the differences…
But I’ve seen this effect before. Blacks, at least the ones I’ve known are very uncomfortable around dogs. And I think the dog picks up on that.
That too (everybody knows the best way to get a dog to give chase is to run), but again, it’s not specific to blacks. Dogs raised in the ghetto don’t much like whites (I don’t suppose too many of the commenters here have clocked much time in the ghetto).

…
A new report on the Canine Special Detail of the LA Sheriff’s Department (LASD) shows that police dogs bite a disproportionately large number of minority suspects.According to the Police Assessment Resource Centre (PARC) report, the number of Latino people bitten by LASD dogs went up 30 per cent between 2004 and 2012 and the number of African Americans bitten rose 33 per cent.
…
Also noted by the report is the low or non-existent incidence of dog bites in affluent areas with smaller minority populations.

Everyone in LA County is a minority. There are almost twice as many Mexicans as Whites, yet this moron Alex Greig claims that Whites at 27% are a majority.
