I was going to say, a bitch is a dog. 🙂
This is stupid. Of course it refers to a black female dog. I am pretty sure there were no people of color in Linlithgow, West Lothian, 350 years ago.
Back in 1968, on a family visit to the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas, I convinced my dad we should visit another Abilene attraction: the Greyhound Hall of Fame. All of these famous greyhounds had their parents listed on their plaques: the sire and the bitch. I was both embarrassed and amused, but I was also eleven. At eleven, I learned a non-offensive use of the word.
How many black people lived in Scotland 700 years ago? That’s when the local legend began, a legend having to do with a black female greyhound. No racism, no misogyny, just a loyal dog.
If the wokelings don’t like the name of the pub, they can simply refrain from patronizing the place. Just stay out and everyone will be happier. Everyone, that is, except those miserable people who can never be happy as long as anyone disagrees with them in any trivial way.
Lol… clown world.
They don’t want to change the name because it says “bitch”
They want to change it because it says “black”
Bitch is the term for a female dog.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
George Orwell, 1984
The first thing I thought of when seeing the headline was, “they named a pub after a BLACK DOG”?
I guess in some peoples minds EVERYTHING IS RACIST!
Shall we eliminate the word “black” from ALL languages?
I was at a dog show about 20 years ago. The announcer came on and announced there was a black bitch roaming around without a collar or leash.
Maybe they should keep the name but change the picture from a dog to a black woman.
Coolest name ever for a pub...they will forever be haunted with the Tappan Zee curse...
