Imitation of Life is my favorite movie.
Wow, Munchkin03, I've never heard anyone say that owning a dog is a white thing to do. LOL. I guess that makes sense if they're talking about people in neighborhoods where they aren't allowed to have animals. But, there are so many low income and project areas in the city with dogs. Like you said, country Black folks have ALWAYS had dogs.
I can see people saying that BUYING a dog from a pet store or adopting a dog from the SPCA is a white people thing to do. LOL. A lot of Black folks (disproportionately low income) either FIND dogs in the neighborhood, adopt them from a local "breeder", or buy them from a local "seller."
I can also see people saying that WALKING a dog is a white people thing to do. "We don't walk no dogs...dogs walk themselves." Black folks are why leash laws were created...LOL...not really. My family rarely walked our dogs and we had TONS of dogs (not all at the same time) throughout my childhood. We had a huge backyard and our dogs would chase themselves around trees and stuff. I guess walking them was seen as extra. LOL.
