I still don't think it's worth confronting the person about, or sending "information" to her about it, because there are just too many unknowns.
Maybe her dog does or does not really react to "black people".
If it does, maybe it's because they are reacting to HER issues with black people. But maybe it's as simple as an animal barking at what is unfamiliar to them.
I adopted a stray dog once, and it was the most gentle and friendly dog in the world....but it was winter, and when I had on my black gloves, the dog always became fearful, and wouldn't let me come near it.
From that I could surmise that it had once been abused from a black person. Or, a person who wore black gloves. Or, maybe the animal was simply reacting to the unusual sight of a person suddenly having big, puffy hands of a different color than usual.
That's what I mean....too many unknowns, as we cannot read the dog's mind. |
