The funniest trending topic on Twitter: Black dog parents
Black folks and their hilarious relationship with dogs
There are a handful of topics that will easily win me over, and dogs are one of them. I’ve heard again and again about the complex relationship that African-Americans have with dogs. Kenya Barris’ show “Black-ish” made a comical episode all about this myth, and “Ready to Love” even took on issues regarding house dogs.

I even had to deal with a racist owner, who just flat-out didn’t want anyone non-female or non-white to walk her dog. So even as a dog lover, I understand why the myth exists. But I was delighted to see the dog thread from Twitter user Mia’s alter ego Kenneth.*

As an Amazon affiliate, I earn a percentage from purchases with my referral links. I know some consumers are choosing to boycott Amazon for its DEI removal. However, after thinking about this thoroughly, I want to continue promoting cool products from small businesses, women-owned businesses and (specifically) Black-owned businesses who still feature their items on Amazon. As of the first date of Black History Month 2025, each new post will ALWAYS include a MINIMUM of one product sold by a Black-owned business. (I have visited the seller’s official site to verify that Amazon Black-owned logo.) I am (slowly) doing this with older, popular posts too. If you still choose to boycott, I 100% respect that decision.
