Why do all dogs bark at black people (no racist)?

[Magua]

Can somebody explain this phenomenon?

Can somebody explain this phenomenon?

probably because they buy in to the stereotypes they see on the TV

According to a neighbor of mine it has to do with their visual spectrum. Dogs aren't completely colorblind but they have trouble sorting out shades and contrasts in darker colors, so while they can sort out blue vs. yellow they would see grays, browns, and black sort of muddled together. So a dog raised around primarily light skinned people can look at a human face and sees features and contrasts where the various shadows fall and that shapes its idea of what a human face looks like. It's a similar problem to the "racist webcams" that couldn't track faces with darker skin tones. Thus when looking at a black guy facial features are less easily sorted out and the animal is left trying to make sense of what looks like a large, shadowy figure with no discernable face. That would be an unsettling sight for any human and the dog reacts defensively as most humans would as well.

Don't know how true any of that is, but it's a theory.

We bark at all people we find
as they all look the same when you are colorblind

barking is a sign of fear.

most dogs tend to mimic actions of their owners. if the owner is fearful of something, the dog will learn that behavior and be fearful as well.

my dog treats everyone as equals and understands that even though there are differences between races, the inferior ones should be treated with the same respect as the others

My brothers, as the Honorable Elijah Muhammed said, "The DOG is a RABID and VICIOUS creature. It cannot wait to bite the BLACK man when he is not looking; however in the face of the BLACK man they prefer to BARK. In reality, they are COWARDS, fearing the evolution into a BLACK planet."

And by DOGS, we are referring to the WHITE MAN.

Allahu Akbar.

They also bark at white people in black leather coats. I see the change all the time when I wear my leather coat.

my dog barks when the doorbell is rang or when my best friend who visits frequently comes by and i assure you that i am not afraid of doorbells or my friend. so no, dogs don't just base everything off their owners cues. my gf for examples parents best friends are black. so there is no underlying prejudice there, the dog still always barks at black people though. real talk though, SFIE makes a good point his theory actually makes a lot of sense

You should be accustomed to looking things up. Everyone else here knows what a gimp suit is, especially if they've seen "Pulp Fiction".

My black dog barks at black people.

[purplengold]

if owners white then it because black people different n dogs get defensive round different kinds animals

[lebomb]

I think its because they smell the delicious meal the Niggra just finished putting together. Yams, collard greens, chicken, buttered rolls and ice tea. That damn dog is basically hungry. He is tired of that dry ass kibbles and bits "the man" feeds him. Just my theory.

[DMC]

My black neighbor's dog barks at me. I shot him once though so that could explain it.

[purplengold]
