Well I have a dog named Ginger - OBVIOUSLY racist
I have a dog named Tucker - OH HELL YES racist

Dog Name Theory from a Black comedian. Hilarious. 8min

Basically, he says Whites give dogs human names (Terrence) and “Black people not so much”

My Ridgebacks have been: Augustus, Drusila, Maximus, Tiberius, Vipsania, Octavia and Claudius.

My dogs name is Nola. We figured it was appropriate because she was homeless and black. Best dog I’ve ever had

The correlations were largely concentrated around pit bulls, “a breed that is stereotyped as dangerous and racialized as Black," according to the study.

Study boils down to people not wanting to adopt pit bulls, as they were likely mistreated in their previous home

I plan on getting two dogs, a male and female. I’m going to name then Bonnie & Clyde. That should be fine, don’t you think?

Was the researcher surprised that Jamal the pit bull wasn't adopted quickly?

That's a lot of dogs. Do you not feed them or something? Is a Ridgeback the dog that the hair on its back is always standing like he's about to eat you up?

I had a black Lab named Dixie. No wonder she was confused.

I wonder what the good professor’s opinion would be of the name of the canine mascot of the 617 Squadron RAF Bomber Command, aka know as the Dambusters?

Maybe all of them are? I’ve never heard of a dog named Marquisha, or LeDarrius, for example…in any setting.
