today's question about race relations
Is it offensive for white people to have a black dog that is named after a famous black person?

If his name is Mr. T, sure.
If you're going to call him Kunta Kinte or the Rev. Jesse Jackson, then I think it would be a bit offensive.

no wait, you should name him Barry Bonds, so then you can say things like "Barry Bonds just sh*t on my carpet" or "I have to go neuter Barry Bonds"

We named our cat after a major religious figure ... that's probably offensive ...

What happens if the dog is 3 colors? Mine is black, white, and brown. He's all sorts of fucked up.
But he has a good ole whiteboy name...Logan

It's far more interesting to consider having an all-white dog named Jackson.

We had a black lab growing up and her name was Mookie. We didn't name it after Mookie Wilson, my brother just sort of sad it and it stuck. However, when people asked her name we did say, "Mookie, like Mookie Wilson". I have no idea on the offensive part - sorry that doesn't help you.
Mookie could also do math. Seriously. You could hold up 1 finger on one hand and 2 fingers on the other and she would bark 3 times. She could do it with any combination, but she could never go above 5 for some reason.
