Yeah, white people have been advertising golden retrievers (and black labs) for as long as I've been on this Earth. Seems like everyone that has one never shuts up about it.
Tbf golden retrievers are great but also some of the least smart dogs I met. Had a coworker once who got this adorable golden and she had one brain cell that I think she shared with a ginger cat and only got it every other day. But super sweet and lovable
I’ve had mostly herding dogs - border collies and a sheepdog. Very smart dogs! And also incredibly sweet. I thought they loved more than I’d ever known. And then we got a golden and y’all I never knew a dog could love me this much!! I ask him to do anything or call him over and he always listens! He’s like my shadow!
My border collie on the other hand would literally look at me like “I don’t have to listen to you” or “what am I getting for it if I do”. And our sheepdog we have now will only listen if food is involved! Lol
A friend of mine has a golden retriever / Aussie mix. Herding dog energy level combined with retriever friendliness level is a lot. Acrobatics are performed just to lick your face.
They do judge!! And they’re too smart for their own good. Our border collie had my husband and I fighting for months about who kept leaving the bedroom door open (our border loved to lay in our bed while we were at work, but the shedding was TOO MUCH. He was never in it when we got home because he knew the sound of our cars from like half a block away, but the hair was a give away). One day I was the last one out but forgot something so went back inside and I see this sneaky SOB open the CLOSED door by nosing down the handle, he looks at me and just quietly walked away like nothing happened. I miss him so much!!
That's good. You don't want a smart dog. Smart dogs look for shit to do and you won't like any of the things they pick. Dumb dogs just want to cuddle and chase ball.
My boy, a Shepherd/Husky mix, was incredibly smart*.
I wouldn't have wanted him any other way, but making sure he was entertained and exercised was a constant priority. Otherwise he'd entertain himself or punish us (same difference).
*When he was a pup, about 9 months old, I was watching a NatGeo thing about dogs and they showed dogs taking an intelligence test. They'd show various dogs a tablet with pictures on it. If they showed a picture of a dog and touched the dog on the screen, the thing would dispense a treat.
So my boy watches this, hops up and trots over to the TV, boops the dog on the screen, and looks down. Then he looks back at me, and then under the TV again.
My cousins dog got yelled at for eating off the table once as a puppy when no one was looking. So from that point on if we left a room and she decided to snipe a slice of pizza, she would take the food she wanted and then trot over to us with the food in her big drooling mouth to make sure it was cool that she ate it. If we told her no she would drop the food on the ground and slink away.
Which meant that every time she did it she got the food she asked for so it didn't just get tossed in the trash. At least she was polite about it. No one taught her that, she was just smart enough to pick up on it.
Haha that is amazing! My last dog was way too smart.. she ended up training us.. she was also really good. I had asthma as a child but had outgrown it until about 4 years ago.. she would wake me in the middle of the night and I thought she needed a walk so would wake my husband to take her out (I have to get up at 5:30 otherwise I would have taken her) after 6 months of that we learned my asthma was back and the weird coughing I would have when she woke me was actually part of my asthma attack. Got meds for it and she stopped waking me in the middle of the night.. she must have thought the walls were a reward for saving me as my husband would always tell me how she was trotting on those walks like she just saved the world. I miss her
As a golden owner, they definitely come across as dumber than a sack of potatoes. They're just super goofy and derpy animals who have zero inhibitions. Mine relaxes so hard she falls off the couch almost daily.
My parents' golden was too smart for his own good. He would get bored and get into shit. Their other dog would actually get at him when he was doing bad stuff. She wasn't trying to get in trouble for his nonsense.
I don’t hate pitbulls just like I don’t hate sharks, I just have a healthy respect for their ability to kill things and act accordingly. They both can be super cute and fascinating to watch, but I’m not gonna leave my toddler swimming in a tank with a shark and I’m not gonna leave them alone in a room with a pitbull. It’d be irresponsible to do either.
I mean, the difference isn't that Cocker Spaniels don't hurt people, it's just unlikely for their bite force to kill a human- Cocker Spaniels have disfigured people with bites. A dog is a dog. Pitties have an incredibly strong bite force, but that doesn't discount that some wouldn't hurt a fly. It's just that those that do hurt, can cause incredible damage.
You mean in that run down shack where they were living in squalor neglecting 7 dogs thinking it was fine?
There are millions of abused and neglected pits out there and nobody cares until one acts out and the media circus starts. Another 1,000,000 pits get euthanized each year in the US with no media coverage or pearl clutching
what about the pit bulls that are neither abused nor neglected, yet still end up eating children?
the bennard family in suburban memphis, TN adopted their two pet pit bulls as puppies. they were beloved family pets for 8 years with no incidents. the couple’s social media was full of posts doting on the dogs and advocacy against “breed hate.” one day, they tore both of the couple’s small children to literal shreds while the mother was in the room with them. she was hospitalized with critical injuries all over her body after trying and failing to save her children.
veterinary necropsies after the fact found no evidence of abuse or neglect.
scenario A: despite all appearances to the contrary, despite no evidence of abuse/neglect being found by veterinarians or the police, the bennards were secretly dog-abusing monsters running an invisible underground dogfighting ring
scenario B: the breeds explicitly created to maul things to death for fun are, in fact, pretty good at mauling things to death for fun
Sadly they just don’t live very long. Almost always die of cancer. Now weenie dogs live a long time and are incredibly funny and sweet. But they are the ultimate cock blockers at night
My wife. Her/Our dog kitten (yes the dogs name is kitten) if you get her started she won’t stop, you’ll hear his whole history and see pictures from every moment of his life lmao
a lady down the street has 2 standard poodles and 4 foot chain link fence. when i walk my dog past they hop that fence like its nothing, come say hi, then hop back into their own yard.
Dumb dogs want to hang. Smart dogs want something to do and if you don't give it to them they'll figure something else out by themselves and you're probably not gonna like it
Idk man Air Bud seems like Golden Retriever propaganda. It's a 90 ad where everyone in the movie hold the can so you can see that they're drinking Pepsi. Except it's for Golden Retrievers.
I would be surprised if the movie did end with:
"Brought To You By, the American Association for Golden Retrievers"
The real propaganda of that movie was how they created so many fast break points running essentially man defense. They didn’t even switch off on the weak side defender which was a clear opportunity for back cuts. Air bud is the biggest lie ever told in America.
He is Chris CARESNONE, The Babka King! He does a lot of "gatekeeping" videos where he tries food and culture from other groups. He is obsessed with Jewish food since trying babka, but also Puerto Rican, Filipino, and other foods as well.
If loving your dog was a competition, I think this guide would win, podium place at the very least. I know all dog owners love their dogs, mostly, but look at the guy, he looks like he's about to have a 404 Error due to too much love spilling out.
I live down the street from KeyBank arena where the Buffalo Sabres play hockey. They draw a lot of people but I wasn't interested
I've watched a little bit of hockey on TV but it was boring. A friend gave me a couple tickets to a game. WTF! Live NHL hockey is the truth. I had a better time watching hockey than going to see the Bills. It's a great show.
I think it was Dave Chappelle who had a stand up where he joked about black people not playing hockey until they made heated hockey rinks. Then they'd take that over too
Also where you sit gives completely different experiences. Nose bleed seats is where you watch the play develop like you never can on TV. Up against the glass you can see the stick work, hear them trash talk (and watch them sweat), but you can't see the entire rink. Mid level is a happy medium. Pro tip: If sitting against the glass don't put your drink on the ledge; when they crash into the board the drink will go flying, and they might do this for fun during pregame warmups.
Getting pancaked against the boards by two defenders and still being able to get back up on your feet wearing literal BLADES on a floor of ICE at ALL is incredible. Being able to do it faster than I can get out of an uncomfortable sitting position from a recliner on hardwood floor feels (to me) nearly inhuman! Them getting paid less for such enthralling entertainment than dudes playing summer stickball or handegg or hoopy loops or kicky bicky is the real travesty.
as a white dude who loves baseball - you’re correct lol. if you don’t love baseball, it’s boring as hell to watch no matter what. sometimes it still is, even if you love it.
With baseball, it depends on the league. NCAA and below is ass. MLB is a good time but expensive. Minor league is the sweet spot - it can be borderline irreverent.
Linking the article instead of the thread so you can see the whole range of emotions, but this reminds me of the guy who lost his mind on twitter over hockey (and got free playoff tix from the team)
The women too! PWHL is going and finally has their shit together for a truly elite league. For the last 5 or 6 years a handful of women have competed in various games at the NHL All Star event and they're always pretty much just as good as the men. Olympics is coming up and the women's tournament is bound to be nearly as exciting as the mens. I say nearly because if the NHL men go it'll be the first time in like 12 years that NHL pros are in the Olympics, which is just plain exciting and cool. But the women are always great. Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden. Don't skip those games.
Generally speaking there isn't a bad seat to sit in, it's indoors, the action keeps moving, it's not an all day thing so you can do other shit too, and the tickets aren't nearly as expensive as other sports
Skates cutting through ice, shaving it when they stop.. the sound of the sticks receiving a crisp pass... bodies crashing into the boards and who can forget the PING of a bardown goal.
I remember a while back there was a black guy tweeting about watching his first hockey game and he was hooked. I think the team saw his tweets because they went viral and he got free tickets and a jersey if I remember correctly.
The average NHL experience puts the best football game to absolute shame, tv or in person. The sabres arena is a fun one too, it is outdated but I love the Labatt Blue Zone. If you ever get the opportunity, go see a Leafs game. Tickets are hella expensive but they’re pretty shit this year, so you might be able to get in for a decent price once they’re out of contention.
Man I'm grateful for my white friends exposing me to things that I would've never been exposed to without them.
My boy, B, played hockey coming up. We got to being best friends come high school and his dad took us to a hockey game one time. Maaaaaan that shit was so fun.
To this day, I tell everyone hockey is the best sport to watch live. And that's coming from a life long avid football fan. Got my game authentic Backstrom jersey in the closet rn, about to break it out for the Blackhawks game January 3rd. Go Caps!
I'm white and Canadian. I love hockey and could not care less about football, but I went to Detroit for a Lions vs Giants game with a buddy years ago and I had a blast. Watching sports live are a great time.
You know white folks, always saying shit like "shut up about the golden retrievers, we can't let this secret out," and "if black people get ahold of golden retrievers they would be too powerful."
Think about it. How is a Karen going to call the police and be like “there is a suspicious black man walking on my street… with a golden retriever”. It would for sure nerf them at least a little bit.
Most of their brain is physics engine for running after things (also splashing through any body of water available, including baths, paddling pools, etc)
I come in peace from the white delegation - y'all ain't talked to white people about their dogs? Because everyone white person I know with a golden retriever won't STFU about it in a good way.
I hear that snowboarding is easier once you get the hang of it, but it’s harder as a beginner. I’ve watched too many snow boarders just face plant or topple over backwards flat because their feet are strapped together. No thanks. My black azz feels fancy enough on skis, so I can use both legs to flail around and maybe not fall.
If you got the money to get good, do snowboarding. If you go to slopes once every decade like me, go skiing. The bunny slopes are way fun. And no, the snow boots don't get more comfortable throughout the day.
Yeah, this isn't on yt people. It's not their fault some black folks feel the need to play into their own stereotypes and get a pitbull instead of a golden
I don't know much about different dog breeds I just know they're both retrievers. She did eat everything. My mom would put her in the basement when she saw a cricket. They told us she would chill out after a few years. It wasn't until her last couple years when vision and hips started to give out that she chilled out...at least physically. You could tell in her eyes she had the will just not the energy.
My friends had a house in the country. Their lab brought back a deer leg. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. They were like "wtf, that's 5 legs". They didn't know where he was getting them.
if you leave the front door open, a golden retriever will watch it and you to see what is up with the open front door.
a lab will see it and go "OHBOYFUCKINEXPLORATIONMODEONNYOUCAN'TFUCKINCATCHMEIAMSPEEDLOOKATTHISSHITIMMABOUTOGETINTOSOMUCHFUCKINTROUBLELETSGOLETSGOLETSGOOOOOO"
Family friends had a chocolate lab. They had a cottage on an island. People showed up but the owners were out. The dog was there. They came in, had a few beers, and left. Dog just hung out. No guarding at all.
Controversial Opinion: but sometimes it's other black people that make you feel less black for having, say a golden retriever, instead of a pitbull which leads to videos like this. It comes from white people too, especially living in NH we're not viewed as "black" for speaking well, listening to music other than rap or wearing clothes that aren't baggy. We need to erase the expectations for races and let people just be themselves.
This reminds me of when the St.Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019. There was this black dude who went viral with "white people not telling us how cool hockey is". I think Tarasenko gave him a jersey too. Anyways ice hockey is pretty dope.
the whole "white people shit" is reverse gatekeeping
no white person ever said those dogs were just for white people, but i have had black people walk past me and my dogs and go "ugh, white people and they big ass dogs" into their phone call
Newfie's and bernese mountain dogs are awesome. I have a st bernard/ poodle mix that's the chillest, happiest dog. He loves everyone. He's the opposite of a guard dog. Someone new walks in the house and he trots over, tail wagging, looking for pets.
I was just about to reply with this. I have two pyrs. They are very smart and loving. And can take down medium game and humans that pose a threat to their flock. However, if you're not used to a dog that will just look at you and ignore you, then maybe not. My phone is probably 80% pictures of them. I never miss a chance to big them up to anyone. Nor will I here.
This is why it's important to have a diverse friend group.
We learn to season our food, we expose you to these angels in dog form (that said, my general apprehension towards pit bulls was cured by my black friend's dogs).
Seconded this. They’re sweet dogs, they’re dumb as rocks, and they can be cuddly.
The difference between a pibble and a golden is a golden’s bite really, really hurts. A pitbull’s body is designed to kill bulls. A bite from a golden will require stitches. A bite from a pitbull can easily cost you a limb.
Yes, they absolutely can be sweet and tender and baby. A poorly trained pit is very capable of destruction.
They should be like Great Pyrenees. Wonderful, WONDERFUL dogs. Should NOT be owned by the general populous. You shouldn’t be able to buy a pit from someone just like that.
Bidet is a French word, the invention is European. China actually invented toilet paper. America’s just… well we’re fucking weird about butt stuff. But yeah, Japan definitely influenced our slow acceptance of using water to power wash our buttholes.
There was a time in the 90s where white people and Golden Retrievers were in everything, where the hell was this guy?! Did Shadow do all of this for nothing?!
White people gate keep a lot of shit, but in this case... have you ever known a white person to shut up about their dog?
Yeah, white people have been advertising golden retrievers (and black labs) for as long as I've been on this Earth. Seems like everyone that has one never shuts up about it.
I mean, I get it. They're very lovable dogs.
But this wasn't a secret.
That was our strategy: talk about them so much you'd associate goldens with boring/annoying suburban voices. Then we could hoard all the floofs.
Tbf golden retrievers are great but also some of the least smart dogs I met. Had a coworker once who got this adorable golden and she had one brain cell that I think she shared with a ginger cat and only got it every other day. But super sweet and lovable
There's a reason that "Himbos" are described as having golden retriever energy.
Cute, energetic, and dumb.
I’ve had a bunch of dogs throughout my life, and nothing compares to how much a golden retriever loves you.
They aren’t terribly smart though.
I’ve had mostly herding dogs - border collies and a sheepdog. Very smart dogs! And also incredibly sweet. I thought they loved more than I’d ever known. And then we got a golden and y’all I never knew a dog could love me this much!! I ask him to do anything or call him over and he always listens! He’s like my shadow!
My border collie on the other hand would literally look at me like “I don’t have to listen to you” or “what am I getting for it if I do”. And our sheepdog we have now will only listen if food is involved! Lol
But I love them all!
I had a collie x retriever... the mix of neurotic genius and lovable idiot made for the most autistic dog you've ever fuckin met istg.
Sounds like my Lab/Shepard mix. She was insanely smart, but lord have mercy she was a ditz.
A friend of mine has a golden retriever / Aussie mix. Herding dog energy level combined with retriever friendliness level is a lot. Acrobatics are performed just to lick your face.
I've had an Australian shepherd and a border Collie. My sister has corgis. Herding dogs judge.
But this mutt is too dumb to know I'm a dumbass or so wise he can hide it. His love is pure from judgement.
(I absolutely adored my herding dogs. They made it to 16 and 18. The Australian shepherd used its own food to hunt raccoons. I miss him)
They do judge!! And they’re too smart for their own good. Our border collie had my husband and I fighting for months about who kept leaving the bedroom door open (our border loved to lay in our bed while we were at work, but the shedding was TOO MUCH. He was never in it when we got home because he knew the sound of our cars from like half a block away, but the hair was a give away). One day I was the last one out but forgot something so went back inside and I see this sneaky SOB open the CLOSED door by nosing down the handle, he looks at me and just quietly walked away like nothing happened. I miss him so much!!
Using his food to hunt raccoons is genius level.
Mr. Peanutbutter from Bojack may be a Labrador Retriever but he has Golden energy through and through.
Haha yes! Also there are worse things to be described as imo
That's good. You don't want a smart dog. Smart dogs look for shit to do and you won't like any of the things they pick. Dumb dogs just want to cuddle and chase ball.
My boy, a Shepherd/Husky mix, was incredibly smart*.
I wouldn't have wanted him any other way, but making sure he was entertained and exercised was a constant priority. Otherwise he'd entertain himself or punish us (same difference).

He got his treat
I'm native from the rez, I grew up with huskies through much of my childhood
As an adult I have cats, they're like huskies but easier to remove from the kitchen counter
Huskies, dog hardware running on cat software lol
My cousins dog got yelled at for eating off the table once as a puppy when no one was looking. So from that point on if we left a room and she decided to snipe a slice of pizza, she would take the food she wanted and then trot over to us with the food in her big drooling mouth to make sure it was cool that she ate it.

[removed]
Its a mixed bag but this is why people like doodles. I have a labradoodle and sometimes i wish he were a little less smart.
Well they ain't doing my taxes
White girls have switched to owning rescue pitbulls though and pretending they are nanny dogs who definitely won’t eat your baby or grandma
Right on time. Literally can't even get on a golden retriever reddit thread without pittie hate
I don’t hate pitbulls just like I don’t hate sharks, I just have a healthy respect for their ability to kill things and act accordingly. They both can be super cute and fascinating to watch, but I’m not gonna leave my toddler swimming in a tank with a shark and I’m not gonna leave them alone in a room with a pitbull. It’d be irresponsible to do either.
The day I hear a story about a cocker spaniel mauling someone to death is the day I get rid of my cocker spaniels.
I mean, the difference isn't that Cocker Spaniels don't hurt people, it's just unlikely for their bite force to kill a human- Cocker Spaniels have disfigured people with bites. A dog is a dog. Pitties have an incredibly strong bite force, but that doesn't discount that some wouldn't hurt a fly. It's just that those that do hurt, can cause incredible damage.
A pit bull literally ate a baby in my state like 3 days ago. 2 year old kid.
You mean in that run down shack where they were living in squalor neglecting 7 dogs thinking it was fine?
There are millions of abused and neglected pits out there and nobody cares until one acts out and the media circus starts. Another 1,000,000 pits get euthanized each year in the US with no media coverage or pearl clutching

Pitbulls are mentioned in the original video
Sadly they just don’t live very long. Almost always die of cancer. Now weenie dogs live a long time and are incredibly funny and sweet. But they are the ultimate cock blockers at night

I dated a woman with a daschund and I loved him because he was adorable, but he hated me because I took his spot on the bed.
Next video is going to be him holding a plate full of cheese close to his face talking about gatekeeping fermented milk.
Everyone knows the new white man loves gourmet cheese
You can absolutely bait my white ass into a haunted house with a good charcuterie board
Charcuterie boards is how I lure my white best friend to my house lol. She gets the best cheeses.
Two ways to ensure white people will show up:
Promise a charcuterie board.
Ask them to make a charcuterie board.
Rest in power John Witherspoon ❤️
How come you didn't tell me how good the cheese was?
My wife. Her/Our dog kitten (yes the dogs name is kitten) if you get her started she won’t stop, you’ll hear his whole history and see pictures from every moment of his life lmao
White person who won’t shut up about their dog here - everyone should also look into Standard Poodles. They’re insanely smart
a lady down the street has 2 standard poodles and 4 foot chain link fence. when i walk my dog past they hop that fence like its nothing, come say hi, then hop back into their own yard.
Our childhood Pomeranian could jump onto my dad or mines shoulders from a stand still and we’re both 5’9ish.
Even in her old age she could clear 4ft easy.
Them little dogs got BOUNCE.
standard poodles are pretty big actually, like same height as a golden or a husky
I'm gonna be honest man sometimes a smart dog is a gift and a curse. At times I love having a dumb fucking dog.
Dumb dogs want to hang. Smart dogs want something to do and if you don't give it to them they'll figure something else out by themselves and you're probably not gonna like it
My mini poodles are great.
Lately, i see husky vids. Owners be looking like they’re in hell lol
Huskies are a SPECIAL breed.
I always describe them as cat software running on dog hardware. On speed.
Overclocked on both sides of the equation.
Huskys indicate one of 2 things in my experience;
1) Someone needs to pull stuff on a sled.
2) She (owner) be crazy.
Can confirm #2 is accurate but he be on his bullshit too sometimes. We be in the house arguing worse than me and my ex 🤦🏽♀️

A husky is usually a lot of work.
Its because my dog is the best dog ever and i want everyone to know it
Deadass, especially a Golden. Everyone I know who has a Golden Retriever is dean's list and all-star proud of that dog.
wait till you learn about dachshunds. Those things are magical.
Buddy never saw air bud?
Was about to say, in their defense they made like 20 of those movies lol. I think his badminton flick drops Christmas
Lmao I came into the comments just to say we made whole movies about golden retrievers. Even Homeward Bound lmao
And even bulldogs got recognition in the latter!
I'm waiting for the water polo one.
Water polo seems so cruel to the horses
There's legitimately a new Air Bud movie coming out. John Oliver had a few ridiculous online episodes about it. Fun time.
I can't in good conscience watch an Air Bud movie that doesn't star John Oliver as a basketball-playing golden retriever.
Like a dozen dogs got parvo when they made the snow sports one
Idk man Air Bud seems like Golden Retriever propaganda. It's a 90 ad where everyone in the movie hold the can so you can see that they're drinking Pepsi. Except it's for Golden Retrievers.
I would be surprised if the movie did end with:
"Brought To You By, the American Association for Golden Retrievers"
Remember, there is always the villain arc too.

Remind me of the neighbors in Christmas Vacation
100% believable their names are Todd and Margo.
The real propaganda of that movie was how they created so many fast break points running essentially man defense. They didn’t even switch off on the weak side defender which was a clear opportunity for back cuts. Air bud is the biggest lie ever told in America.
I’m here for this type of educated debate. I believe this chap knows basketball. Air Bud created a generation of bad weak side defenders.
It might be propaganda, but that doesn't mean its wrong.
Can't blame white people for this.
Golden's been Golden's. If you don't know, now you know.
Homeward Bound erasure.
That man, love, Love, *LOVES* that dog. It's adorable.
Zoe is confused and wants to know if he's upset at her. (He isn't)
"I love you. Why are you yelling?" 😆
Edit: 🤦♀️ y'all chill out. Don't make something out of nothing.
I guarantee yelling is the default for him....she'd be worried if he wasn't
He must be having a bad day, I should snuggle closer.
nah she’s used to it & loves him (i have a sweet friendly shepherd who is used to my BS)
He is Chris CARESNONE, The Babka King! He does a lot of "gatekeeping" videos where he tries food and culture from other groups. He is obsessed with Jewish food since trying babka, but also Puerto Rican, Filipino, and other foods as well.
Love it, thank you for crediting!
That's a fun premise
If loving your dog was a competition, I think this guide would win, podium place at the very least. I know all dog owners love their dogs, mostly, but look at the guy, he looks like he's about to have a 404 Error due to too much love spilling out.
I live down the street from KeyBank arena where the Buffalo Sabres play hockey. They draw a lot of people but I wasn't interested I've watched a little bit of hockey on TV but it was boring.

You cannot appreciate how fast they're moving until you see it in person.
And how quickly they cut on the ice. Things like a good forecheck is really hard to appreciate on TV but is crazy impressive in person
Watching Mcdavid move on the ice is magical man
I think it was Dave Chappelle who had a stand up where he joked about black people not playing hockey until they made heated hockey rinks. Then they'd take that over too
"Lebron on skates!"
EDIT: It was Chris Rock, not Chappelle
Also where you sit gives completely different experiences. Nose bleed seats is where you watch the play develop like you never can on TV. Up against the glass you can see the stick work, hear them trash talk (and watch them sweat), but you can't see the entire rink. Mid level is a happy medium. Pro tip: If sitting against the glass don't put your drink on the ledge; when they crash into the board the drink will go flying, and they might do this for fun during pregame warmups.
Getting pancaked against the boards by two defenders and still being able to get back up on your feet wearing literal BLADES on a floor of ICE at ALL is incredible. Being able to do it faster than I can get out of an uncomfortable sitting position from a recliner on hardwood floor feels (to me) nearly inhuman! Them getting paid less for such enthralling entertainment than dudes playing summer stickball or handegg or hoopy loops or kicky bicky is the real travesty.
Hockey and baseball are infinitely better in person than on TV.
Lmao I'll give you hockey but baseball is just as boring in person as it is on the TV
as a white dude who loves baseball - you’re correct lol. if you don’t love baseball, it’s boring as hell to watch no matter what. sometimes it still is, even if you love it.
this statement does not apply to playoff baseball
It's a great social outing sport though
Tickets are cheaper than other sports and you can just chat and vibe until someone gets a hit
With baseball, it depends on the league. NCAA and below is ass. MLB is a good time but expensive. Minor league is the sweet spot - it can be borderline irreverent.
Imagine how much fun a hockey game is when the Sabres aren’t one of the teams playing
I was gonna say, if this guy can enjoy watching the Sabres play hes a bigger hockey fan than I am, and im a white Canadian
Boom. Roasted.
Can confirm. Going to hockey games was the most fun spectator-sporting experience I've ever had in my life.
Linking the article instead of the thread so you can see the whole range of emotions, but this reminds me of the guy who lost his mind on twitter over hockey (and got free playoff tix from the team)
I love that story every time I'm reminded of it.
"The goalie just said fuck it and left?"
Hockey games are the shit!! The puck moves so damn fast and those men on ice are fucking Beast!
The women too! PWHL is going and finally has their shit together for a truly elite league. For the last 5 or 6 years a handful of women have competed in various games at the NHL All Star event and they're always pretty much just as good as the men. Olympics is coming up and the women's tournament is bound to be nearly as exciting as the mens. I say nearly because if the NHL men go it'll be the first time in like 12 years that NHL pros are in the Olympics, which is just plain exciting and cool. But the women are always great. Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden. Don't skip those games.
Hockey is the perfect sport to go to
Generally speaking there isn't a bad seat to sit in, it's indoors, the action keeps moving, it's not an all day thing so you can do other shit too, and the tickets aren't nearly as expensive as other sports
The jerseys are cool as hell too
Oh, and I almost forgot, they fist fight
Also hockey is a great sounding game live.
So many different sounds
Skates cutting through ice, shaving it when they stop.. the sound of the sticks receiving a crisp pass... bodies crashing into the boards and who can forget the PING of a bardown goal.
I remember a while back there was a black guy tweeting about watching his first hockey game and he was hooked. I think the team saw his tweets because they went viral and he got free tickets and a jersey if I remember correctly.
The average NHL experience puts the best football game to absolute shame, tv or in person. The sabres arena is a fun one too, it is outdated but I love the Labatt Blue Zone. If you ever get the opportunity, go see a Leafs game. Tickets are hella expensive but they’re pretty shit this year, so you might be able to get in for a decent price once they’re out of contention.
Man I'm grateful for my white friends exposing me to things that I would've never been exposed to without them.
My boy, B, played hockey coming up. We got to being best friends come high school and his dad took us to a hockey game one time. Maaaaaan that shit was so fun.
To this day, I tell everyone hockey is the best sport to watch live. And that's coming from a life long avid football fan. Got my game authentic Backstrom jersey in the closet rn, about to break it out for the Blackhawks game January 3rd. Go Caps!
I'm white and Canadian. I love hockey and could not care less about football, but I went to Detroit for a Lions vs Giants game with a buddy years ago and I had a blast. Watching sports live are a great time.
If you haven't yet, check out a Bandits game. It's like a party every time.
You know white folks, always saying shit like "shut up about the golden retrievers, we can't let this secret out," and "if black people get ahold of golden retrievers they would be too powerful."
I’m hearing this in Josh Johnson
Literally perfect call out. I hear that too
I have watched every one of his YouTube videos in the last year or so.. it may be affecting me.
Think about it. How is a Karen going to call the police and be like “there is a suspicious black man walking on my street… with a golden retriever”. It would for sure nerf them at least a little bit.
She would just say he had a stolen dog
Damn lol
The more people who own goldens within a 10-mile radius of me, the better my life gets. It’s just a scientific fact.
Golden Retrievers are really the best fuckin dogs
My friend’s sister has one and she really is just the dumbest, most head-empty ray of sunshine in the world
Their heads are empty because they need that extea room for more love
They’re actually ranked #4 in intelligence when it comes to ability to learn and demonstrate commands!
Where do they rank in the ability to common sense?
Most of their brain is physics engine for running after things (also splashing through any body of water available, including baths, paddling pools, etc)
Your sister sounds lovely.
They’re extremely trainable, but yeah baseline you nailed it, empty headed is the perfect way to describe them lol
Very emotionally intelligent dogs though, they read body language and mood better than most breeds I’ve been around.
And is the dog nice as well?
May I also recommend: Setters (English, Irish, Gordon)
Sweet, playful, beautiful, and snugly.
I come in peace from the white delegation - y'all ain't talked to white people about their dogs? Because everyone white person I know with a golden retriever won't STFU about it in a good way.
And like, we aren't hiding hockey. I mean we may not put it on BET but it's on TV dude. Please I'd be thrilled to have more people in the seats.
I would pay to watch an exhibition with the best black hockey players in the world on BET playing against each other once a year
Snowboarding. Thank me later.
Ski instead, your ass will thank me later
Both are fun, I was just literally incapable of getting off of the chair lift with a snowboard
Skiing is definitely some white people shit.

stupid sexy flanders
Sometimes it’s fun to pretend to be white and look down on the lower classes (snowboarders)
Holy shit who told you the secret to our inner-culture war? I'm a white skier and I fucking hate snowboarders.
I hear that snowboarding is easier once you get the hang of it, but it’s harder as a beginner. I’ve watched too many snow boarders just face plant or topple over backwards flat because their feet are strapped together. No thanks. My black azz feels fancy enough on skis, so I can use both legs to flail around and maybe not fall.
This is it. Skiing easier to learn harder to get good.
Snowboarding harder to learn easier to get good at.
Go look at yard sale skiing vids.
If you got the money to get good, do snowboarding. If you go to slopes once every decade like me, go skiing. The bunny slopes are way fun. And no, the snow boots don't get more comfortable throughout the day.
Anything in the
white peoplewinter Olympics really.That’s so cool! Y’all want to try some mayonnaise?
I don't know, it's pretty spicy
excuse you it's...Aioli now...sounds fancier.
I gotta say, aioli is peak white people shit.
We gentrified the fuckin mayonnaise.
LMFAO

They’re pretty dope, 100% agree with this post :)
Love your house decor!
This dude went to IKEA and bought ALL the things!
Dog looks pretty thrilled with you as well.

thats a dawg
Maaan...we have made SEVERAL movies about how great they are. An entire franchise of a GR family dynasty of ball players too lmao
We literally told yall, what did yall think “golden retriever energy” meant? A new source of renewable energy?
Yeah, this isn't on yt people. It's not their fault some black folks feel the need to play into their own stereotypes and get a pitbull instead of a golden
Wanted a golden retriever as a kid but we got a black lab instead. Pretty similar energy but less dog hair.
Labs are insane. Very different from goldens. Labs eat everything. They have an IQ of 1. But they are sooo happy. Goldens are much more chill.
I don't know much about different dog breeds I just know they're both retrievers. She did eat everything. My mom would put her in the basement when she saw a cricket. They told us she would chill out after a few years. It wasn't until her last couple years when vision and hips started to give out that she chilled out...at least physically. You could tell in her eyes she had the will just not the energy.
My friends had a house in the country. Their lab brought back a deer leg. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. They were like "wtf, that's 5 legs". They didn't know where he was getting them.
if you leave the front door open, a golden retriever will watch it and you to see what is up with the open front door.
a lab will see it and go "OHBOYFUCKINEXPLORATIONMODEONNYOUCAN'TFUCKINCATCHMEIAMSPEEDLOOKATTHISSHITIMMABOUTOGETINTOSOMUCHFUCKINTROUBLELETSGOLETSGOLETSGOOOOOO"
I mean, the general rule of thumb is; all dog are good dog.
*Small dogs may vary
The small dogs may vary usually depends on if they were trained or not. Most don’t seem to be trained.
As a PoC, I too acquired a classic White People dog: a Labrador.
Admittedly, a black Labrador but still. That is the sweetest dog I ever owned. Not the greatest watchdog but I'm cool with it.
Family friends had a chocolate lab. They had a cottage on an island. People showed up but the owners were out. The dog was there. They came in, had a few beers, and left. Dog just hung out. No guarding at all.
My smaller dog will go mad for anything or anyone passing the house.
The lab?
Controversial Opinion: but sometimes it's other black people that make you feel less black for having, say a golden retriever, instead of a pitbull which leads to videos like this. It comes from white people too, especially living in NH we're not viewed as "black" for speaking well, listening to music other than rap or wearing clothes that aren't baggy. We need to erase the expectations for races and let people just be themselves.
P.S. Yellow labs and goldens are awesome dogs!!
This reminds me of when the St.Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup in 2019. There was this black dude who went viral with "white people not telling us how cool hockey is". I think Tarasenko gave him a jersey too. Anyways ice hockey is pretty dope.
I remember that, he went to his first hockey game during the playoffs and it happened to be a good ass game.

Got my girl 🤞🏽
the whole "white people shit" is reverse gatekeeping
no white person ever said those dogs were just for white people, but i have had black people walk past me and my dogs and go "ugh, white people and they big ass dogs" into their phone call
Let me also introduce you to the greatest dogs I’ve ever known, r/greatpyrenees
If you want a less aggressive version, you can also get a Newfie. I love Great Pyrenees but they are a little more hit and miss as family dogs.
Newfie's and bernese mountain dogs are awesome. I have a st bernard/ poodle mix that's the chillest, happiest dog. He loves everyone. He's the opposite of a guard dog. Someone new walks in the house and he trots over, tail wagging, looking for pets.
I was just about to reply with this. I have two pyrs. They are very smart and loving. And can take down medium game and humans that pose a threat to their flock. However, if you're not used to a dog that will just look at you and ignore you, then maybe not. My phone is probably 80% pictures of them. I never miss a chance to big them up to anyone. Nor will I here.

This is why it's important to have a diverse friend group.
We learn to season our food, we expose you to these angels in dog form (that said, my general apprehension towards pit bulls was cured by my black friend's dogs).
Seconded this. They’re sweet dogs, they’re dumb as rocks, and they can be cuddly.
The difference between a pibble and a golden is a golden’s bite really, really hurts. A pitbull’s body is designed to kill bulls. A bite from a golden will require stitches. A bite from a pitbull can easily cost you a limb.
Yes, they absolutely can be sweet and tender and baby. A poorly trained pit is very capable of destruction.
They should be like Great Pyrenees. Wonderful, WONDERFUL dogs. Should NOT be owned by the general populous. You shouldn’t be able to buy a pit from someone just like that.
Golden retrievers are absolutely the best fucking dogs but here me out. Goldendoodles/Labradoodles. Same attitude, A LOT LESS shedding.
I have a mini golden doodle, she’s so sweet you need insulin to pet her. She hates the mail man and all delivery people though
We called Poodles "Poodles" to throw you off too
Zoe won the lottery getting to live with this man. bless them both.
Dog is being held hostage look at the eyes
[deleted]
Bidet is a French word, the invention is European. China actually invented toilet paper. America’s just… well we’re fucking weird about butt stuff. But yeah, Japan definitely influenced our slow acceptance of using water to power wash our buttholes.
Someone has clearly never watched homeward bound and that's a damn shame
Gatekeeping? People literally make entire film franchises about those dogs.
Golden retrievers are the best!
My grandma and her neighbor both had one. They would take turns running over to each other’s house to get the other one to come out and play.
There was a time in the 90s where white people and Golden Retrievers were in everything, where the hell was this guy?! Did Shadow do all of this for nothing?!
Very cute! But he needs to take off the headphones. I don't think he realizes how much he's yelling into Zoe's ears.
And yup: can confirm - dogs are the best!

To be fair, I never shut tf up about this dog.
She is trying to sleep and cuddle and you doing all that hooting and hollering! 🤣🤣🤣
Zoey looks extremely annoyed....she's like "lower your voice", poor doggie
policing black people for having “white” hobbies or dogs is mostly something black folks do to each other to question their “blackness”
