In our latest Dealing with Whiteness episode, we're looking into why there aren't more Black pet owners and pet business owners.
- We explore the historic role dogs have played in racism in America
- We unpack some of the complicated history between Black folks and dogs
- We'll take a look at the therapeutic role dogs can play in improving mental health
- We explore how breed discrimination has been linked to Black dog ownership and
- We'll ask some thought-provoking questions about the role of dogs in 'keeping the peace' (can dogs actually BE racist?)
Plus we'll discuss a complex (and controversial) question: Are white people more outraged about dogs being eaten in China than the death of innocent Black children in America?
We will also get a peek into Dr.Lynne and Justin's family life, where dogs were and were not present and why.
