Question should be why more blacks don't adopt dogs, and why whites always have to step up to clean up messes.

What's the ghetto dog name version for "Princess"?

I’m going to name my next Doberman Cedric or Shauntelle, is that more racist or less, to have a white dude yelling Shauntelle to call the dog in?

How much of this is a correlation between certain breeds and the groups who own them?

Certain groups are more likely to own pits or other aggressive dogs and are likely to name them something that sounds threatening.

I was not able to read the article, because I was not about to download an app just to read one article. Don’t want to give AIDS to my phone.

But my understanding is that this study related to dogs adopted from a shelter. Generally, shelter volunteers assign names to those dogs.

My dogs name is Toby.

Apparently in Roots there’s a scene where a slave master is naming his slave with a new name. “Your name is Toby”

Yes, “Toby” (Kunta Kinte) is the main character.

Racism everywhere!!!! These loons will ruin the SEC


No worries, unless you hit up a Starbucks, vegan restaurant or take an Uber on a road trip to Austin you'll never have to interact with these fricks.

Every campus in the SEC is infested with these progressive freaks.

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


stereotyped & racialized are the new "factual" & "accurately"

Speaking of racist dog names...
My ex gf's grandmother had a dog with a very unique name. Now, her grandmother had immigrated to the United States as a teenager from the Middle East. She spoke French, Arabic, and English, and was a pretty accomplished and wealthy woman. Her dog's name translated to "little black slave boy" in Arabic. First time I found that out, I was like "WTF is wrong with you people!?"

That proposition sounds beyond silly, but I'm not going to click on MXM for its self-proclaimed "curated news". I can do my own curating, thank you.
