Racially Prejudiced Dog

[Forty-Niner]

In the early 90’s, when we lived in Waltham Forest, the Orient players were frequent visitors to our house.
Now at this time we had a very large dog who was a great pal of Robbie Taylor’s, a fact which Robbie never tired of telling people.
Unfortunately, and there is no other way of putting this, the dog didn’t like black people.
The first visit of Ricky Otto was eagerly awaited with sparks expected to fly.
My wife was happy to provide tea for the players but drew the line at cooking and anyone wanting food had to bring their own.
Ricky, who had been forewarned, took the precaution of arriving with an extra portion of Kentucky and the dog instantly had a new favourite.
Is there a moral to the story?
Perhaps the way to overcome prejudice is through the medium of fried chicken, although probably not.
More likely, the way to a dog’s heart is through its stomach.

What an utterly embarrassing ‘story’ not least for your own underlying racial prejudice

A bizarre story with more questions then answers. Thread was mistake.

[Buckingham]

What the hell is this nonsense?

Is this supposed to be funny? Very strange thread.

Ricky had been forewarned?

So what’s the point of this story

It’s amazing how people exorcise their inner being racist crap

Not the first time a racist post gets ignored on this board though hmmm

[Forty-Niner]

Sorry if I've upset the Bleeding Heart brigade but Ricky Otto found it extremely funny.

[StillSpike]

Some of my best friends like KFC.

[BIGRON]

I reckon KFC is rubbish .

[Clive Evans]

There are so many ( contrived ) snowflakes on this site LOL.

[Buddy Manucci]

Particularly interested in one part of the story. Can you elaborate on what was expected in Otto's arrival?

sparks fly
1. There is a lot of animosity, arguing, or angry tension (between two people).
The two managers have drastically different ideas of how the business should be run, so sparks fly whenever they are in a meeting together.
2. There is a lot of romantic and sexual chemistry (between two people).
Sparks flew when I first met my husband. We just had a natural connection that has survived to this day.

1. Writes pointless story about black people on a message board
2. Some boarders question the purpose of such a stupid story and point out that it comes across a bit dodgy
3. Original poster gets to rant about "bleeding hearts" and "snowflakes" or whatever.

Let me ask you....what is the point of this story? Why did you write it? Who benefits from it? What was your motivation for posting this?

Because, to me, it just looks like a puerile attempt to get a reaction from people just so that you can indignantly complain about how you're an oppressed victim of evil "political correctness"

Boring, predictable and a waste of time.

The dog should have been taken to the vet and dispatched to dog hell where it belongs.

The owners should have been prosecuted and jailed for harbouring a dangerous dog.

I would think most animals can be manipulated with food.

[Lucky7]

I think if you rely on handouts to feed your pets then maybe you shouldn’t have one

Well done Buckingham. You're well ahead in the "Righteous Indignation" stakes.
The purpose of the post was intended to be a fun anecdote - nothing else.
Perhaps I should have prefixed with a disclaimer. " The views expressed
are those of the dog and not the author".
Incidentally the dog never inflicted harm to anyone. If he had he would certainly have been put down.
Goodness knows what's coming next. Thankfully the death penalty has been abolished.
I'm happy in the knowledge that none of my accusers can know me personally.

All joking apart, I am very sorry if I have caused offence in any way. This was not my intention.
I promise to be more careful in future.

As I said, boring and predictable reaction.

"I'm sorry I caused offense with my pointless story. I'm always the victim at the hands of these perilous snowflakes with their righteous indignation. I'm just a guy trying to have a laugh by sharing a bizarre little anecdote with race as the focal point of the story. You can't say anything these days without being oppressed. I'm so oppressed. Poor me"

You didnt have to read it Buckinghamalias. if you were offended then i suggest you get a grip.

Personally I'm not offended. But I can see why others would question it. However, I do wonder what gives you the right to decide what people should or shouldn't find offensive.

The story itself doesn't bother me so much. But the pathetic "poor me" response from the OP was worth calling out.

Anyway, this has had far more attention from me that it deserves. I've said my bit. I'll leave you to exchange racially focused anecdotes in peace.

[Long slender neck]

So nothing in the OP is racist and you dont find it offensive but still made a fuss? RightO.

[Buckingham]

It's not overtly racist, no. But I do question why somebody feels the need to share a story which focuses on race and the "punchline" is that a black guy had an extra bit of KFC.

And how exactly am I making a "fuss"? I'm just commenting on the post. I don't know if you noticed but this is a message board.

It's all very dull really and hopefully nonsense like this is brushed aside once the football starts and this board full of relevant threads.

[Long slender neck]

So very dull yet this is your 5th post on the topic. If the story is true then whats the problem?

I'm just being polite and answering your questions, hence the number of posts.

I have no reason to believe that the story is true.

Anyway, as already stated, I'll leave you to enjoy racially focused stories in peace. I won't reply to any more posts on this thread, even direct questions from you. Must say, it seems peculiar to bombard somebody with questions and then go "but you responded to this thread so many times". Can you not see the correlation?

Tally-ho.

The op is clearly a look at me I used to be mates with the players. The racist dog is just a macguffin
