Running racism in America thread

I just thought he was making a stupid-ass racist uncle joke because there was a picture of a black Lab at the link.

 

I could see there being a new favorite, but the French Bulldog? Think that would've probably been about No. 20 among my guesses of which breed it was.

 

I'm thinking that it has more to do with fewer people doing the sort of hunting that requires dogs than a few decades back.

 

I may have written that in jest.

 

I'm old enough and Southern enough that I've hunted over dogs for quail, had working retrievers for ducks and dove. My father in law raised bird dogs. I've had deer hunts ruined when some knob of a redneck ran dogs through the area I was hunting on opening day - when dog hunting for deer wouldn't open for another two weeks or so.

I suspected that might be something of a dual purpose comment but I had reason to play it straight.

 

I forget the book I read when I was in grade school about "coon hunting" dogs. I thought that was a cool name. Thirty-plus years later, that takes on an entirely different meaning.

 

One thing about these stories...

When the headline is about a sports radio show host doing or saying something blatantly racist, they don't need to include the city. It's ALWAYS Boston.

 

This is just a guess, but I'm thinking maybe it was "Where the Red Fern Grows."...

 

My first reaction was to tear into this.

And then I Googled "sports talk radio racism," and the first 50 results were either about an ESPN personality's feelings on race or about a Boston sports talk radio host saying something stupid. I gave up.

 

Took me a second to figure this out.
