No Such Thing as Kind if Your Amy Cooper

#4 December Challenge

Prompt: Do you think that having pets during childhood makes people kinder than adults? Why or why not?

I’m just going to make things short and sweet with this prompt. For the record, I’m not an animal lover like most, but I respect them. I’ll tell you what: if any animal attempted to bite, harm, or kill any of my family members, I would fight like hell to save my family over an animal.

My short answer to this prompt is no.

Having pets as a child doesn’t erase racism and stereotypes as a black woman. I can’t sit here and say that when I’ve had countless experiences. For example, I was in the seventh grade, walking from home, and we had neighbors across the street who so happened to have a dog. My family and I don’t have relationships with neighbors for what? It’s always been a mutual agreement to mind our business. We don’t have to speak or engage in small talk. You stay on your side, and my family and I will remain on our side.

Anyway.

The child looked about two as I walked past the house; the little boy yelled, “Hey, N-Word.” Now, I was in shock because I couldn’t believe a two-year-old who couldn’t use the bathroom could say the n-word.

What did I do?

I told my parents, and my mother and father marched across the street so fast and confronted the parents. Since I walked past that house, the mother would be outside with the baby. So, you have a two-year-old child in diapers and with a family dog calling me the N-word, and the prompt is, “Do I think children with pets make kinder adults?”

Hell no.

If anything, I feel sorry for the pet being surrounded by such hatred.
