Ha Ha! I too notice that white people and East Indian people have no problem digging for gold in public. My other pet peeve: not just white people, but people licking documents as they turn the pages and then giving it back to you. What is that, thanks for drooling all over my memo, I appreciate you sharing your mono with me. After I return from sick leave, will I get a raise for taking one for the team?

Funny- I searched the net in hopes of finding an answer to this question and the responses vary in reason. My husband and I recently moved to a predominately black area, from a predominately white area and are experiencing dog phobia every single day…it is rediculous!!! This is surely something our ancestors taught us for one reason or another, a learned, silly, and unnecessary fear. It speaks to the fact that our culture is one in which you judge by what is told or perception, rather than by reality. It is very rare that white people (even poor white people) have a fearful perception of life, I believe that this is why they typically swim with sharks, sky dive, practice extreme sports, and almost exhibit no fear when it comes to nature (dogs) and life in general. Black people have had the cavalier part of life beat out of them for various reasons. We don’t trust anything or anybody and like the fear of dogs it comes from our ancestors whose only value of life was survival. The only other people that I have witness display similar conduct are Jewish people, but the major difference is that Jewish people take care of their own. Me…I am not afraid of people, animals, or things that I don’t have a personal reason or experience of fearing. What I fear is falling from the grace of God, disaster striking my house, being burned alive, losing my job or my sanity (alzheimers disease, etc). An animal that we are charged to live with anyway, is the least of my worry. And yes, I have been bit by a dog before and bit by a rabbit, and two (2) falconoid birds. As the human bite is the most infectious and dangerous bite in the world, because ticks spread lyme disease and mosquitoes carry west nile, there are better things to fear than a dog bite. I wish Black people were as scared of guns and bullets as we are of dogs…
