    Yet some, i would even say many, seem quite happy with this because they believe it can't/won't happen to them.

    Some guy that is never late, doesn't throw sickyies and will work whenever needed (along with being good at his job) can get sacked because of something he posted to his mates on social media.
    Is this the future we all want?

    I get what you are saying, but the focus shouldn't just be on right wing, it should be on anyone who breaks the law, we shouldn't be choosing on political preference. I thought some of the looting in America weeks back was absolutely shocking, should all those people lose their jobs. I think we are opening up a hornets nest. I'm happy to speak out against left and right, not a lot of people will. There are some who will only ever condemn the right.

    Turns out my brown dog is a racist. Mate of mine has been down today from Manchester for an afternoon of beer and bbq. He’s black and has dreadlocks. She hated him. Was really scared of him and has never barked at a person before til he walked in my house <laugh>

    I know someone who's got a dog that really dislikes black people. Very strange.

    oh ffs <laugh>

    What the hell you been teaching them!

    Joking aside, I expect dogs rely alot on facial expressions, much like humans, if your face is covered, such as someone wearing a crash helmet, it makes it difficult to interpret.

    Hence why generally if your dog takes a dislike to someone, by continual barking, they can sense a lot of stuff we can't.

    I don’t know if it was someone on here or where I read it but I heard it’s something to do with how dogs see black skin as opposed to lighter colours. Something to do with not being able to see the facial expressions of the black person or smt along them lines...fk knows

    She’s met a black guy the other week who was jogging whilst the blm protest was going on the other end of the park. She didn’t bark at him. I think it was the dreads. He’s the spitting image of Rio Ferdinand as well. So much so that Alex Ferguson actually asked to have his photo taken with him a couple of years ago and sent it to Rio.

    Dogs aren't racists but they are bully's. They sense fear/apprehension in people and take advantage to show who's boss.

    True story, many years ago i had a little Jack Russel who loved absolutely everyone (she loved attention). One day we were walking down to daisy Nook fair passing literally hundreds of people of all persuasions going each way, she was in her element, ears up tail wagging and tongue out.
    All at once she started to growl really nasty and as this one guy walked past us she went for him, the guy was white middle aged and none descript. I said the the ex, he's a ****ing bad un.
    Dogs know <ok>

    Dogs have a limited range of colour, absolutely no where near humans. I think it's more grey shades.

    NEVER show a dog you are scared, it senses it a mile off. I remember a situation one time, and some people were shhite scared of a dog that had gone totally mental, I came along, showed no fear and it was like butter. They just stood amazed like wtf!

    My ginger one has barked at old men sat in the park. They probably were wrong uns. Sat there looking at the kids in the play area.

    My ginger one hated him as well when I’m he got here but ended up sat on his lap within half hour. The other one wouldn’t go near him.
