View Full Version : What's with the barking?

Many of you know I work in a casino. I have "interesting" interactions with people daily. I've had a few lately that have me a totally confused.
First off, I want to be clear that I am not picking on or singling out black people, or African Americans, if you prefer. This is just an observation. I toss out people of every stripe of life all the time. So please, no comments about me being a racist. If you knew me you'd know how laughable that is.
Anyway, in the last few weeks, I have had to approach some folks (nice way of saying I'm kicking them out for bad behavior) who happened to be black. As soon as I start to speak, they just start barking at me like a dog. "Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!" over and over again, very aggressively. If they stop and I try to speak, the barking begins again. All of these encounters were with males, if that matters. I have not had this barking thing go on with any other race.
Is this some BLM thing? Like I'm a dog attacking them and they're mocking me or something? I'm totally serious here and not trying to make some kind of joke.
Last night we had a couple, guy and girl, cause mayhem on a craps table and throw popcorn and beer all over the table. Had to shut the table down due to the mess. Anyway, I get called to address the situation.
When I go to "approach" these folks, the dude starts barking at me...like right in my face. I just backed away a bit and let him bark away. To make a long story short, we're following them out toward the exit where an elderly Security guy is standing - the guy is like 70 and an awesome guy. The male cold cocks the old man out of the blue, laying him out on the floor. The couple then run away.
Old man get transported to the hospital and the whole deal. As I write this he's still there. I really hope his injuries are minor.
Luckily the scumbag was caught by the police and charged with felony assault on the elderly or whatever you cops call it. He deserves to be locked up for a while.
Anyway, any idea what's up with the barking thing? [Dunno]
I guess it's from "Black Panther".

Holy crap - thanks! Gotta be it.
Root has penned an article calling for black people to start barking at white people who “speak out of turn”.
“One thing, however, that we can and definitely should start doing is what M’Baku and his Que Dog Jabari Tribe did when encountering a problematic white dude who was speaking when there was no ask or need or purpose for the thoughts and opinions of problematic white dudes.
Bark.
“Not a purposeless bark. This isn’t a shih tzu barking through the window at a squirrel. Instead this would be an intentional bark. A targeted bark. An overpowering bark. A drowning bark. A Wakandan bark. A bark meant to communicate “Um, who told you that you can speak? When it is time for your words, we will let you know. And maybe that time will never come. We’ll see. Now, just shut up and stand there. Maybe get on your phone and google ‘How not to be a colonizer.’ Whatever you do, I want to hear you not speaking.”
And this is supposed to help their cause somehow? By barking like dogs....hmmmm, ok.
Bad stuff is brewing in this society.
I wonder if screaming out "All my bit€hes bark now!" Would put an end to it?

Weird, I heard of this Back Panther movie but really didn't give a shit since we go to the movies about 4 times a year and it's usually with the kids for one of the "family nights".
Apparently, this is a rather controversial deal. I had no clue. <goes away to bury head in sand again>
ETA: it's sad that this young kid got so whipped up into a frenzy, apparently because of this guys "bark at white people" article, that he now faces a felony charge and an old man might be fucked up bad. WTF are people thinking? Maybe he would have done it without the barking thing but in 15 years, I've never seen this shit.
My aunt was a casino security guard in Vegas. She is the meanest 5 footer you ever seen. She broke a drunk woman's arm at Jerry's Nugget back in the day. Story was the woman had kicked a couple of male security guys in the nuts and needed a woman to subdue her. She twisted the woman's arm behind her back and in her words....it just snapped. If you need a heavy hitter I'll see what I can do. LoL.
When they start barking, smack them on the end of the nose with a rolled up newspaper...
I'm so sorry to hear about the security guard. That's my Dad's age. I truly hope he'll be okay.

There is no way I could do your job, brother. I applaud you for having to deal with drunken ignorant people whatever race they are, and with the regularity that you describe.
I would hedge a bet on the "you owe me" mentality that some Americans harbor. While I believe there is blatant idiocy within all races and "classes". At a significant level, I'm not at all surprised to hear that who you described was acting the way they were acting. Assaulting the old man on the way out the door is appalling and inexcusable. I'm guessing the guard was white?
I believe many BLM champions are idiots with limited education riding a wave of misplaced emotion and rhetoric. Poor cultural behavior breeds further poor behavior among any circle of ethnicity.

Yes. He told me once that he was quite the martial arts guy back in his day. I bet he's thinking "I would have kicked that bastards ass 30 years ago."

Brilliant . There could be no better way for them to make people racist and undercut their cause.
Next time someone starts barking like a dog.... hoot like a monkey. [LOL] Just make sure you have someone nearby with a taser.
Ya know, I've found that the best way to deal with people going sideways on you is to just be polite, maybe in a bit of a sarcastic way sometimes. 😈
Most times I just wait for their rant to be over and say, "Leave now or I'm calling the police." That gets their asses moving pretty quick usually.
My standard line for people calling me names, etc. is "You're really hurting my feelings. Now leave please."
If they say shit like, "Your mother sucks donkey dick" or "You're a f-ing pussy", I say "I know, I know, now leave please."
I always keep a smile on my face.
These people think that they can offend me. They can't. I don't give 1/2 of a rats ass what they say. Just go away. I've heard it all before. In 5 minutes I forget what you even said, much less get mad about it. Nice try.

I was a bouncer in Missouri when I was in college (I was in much better shape back then). While this movie hadn't come out yet, this was my philosophy, and it usually worked well.

Sadly, we're dealing with a very altered sense of propriety than what I had to deal with 30 years ago. People are too quick to resort to violence and are too easily offended because "I'm entitled". I can only imagine the crap you and others have to put up with these days. Good on you for keeping it professional and being "nice".

I just pictured a casino with the bark collars as a requirement for everyone entering the casino - then getting a knee-buckling jolt when hollaring out after winning at the roulette table. Very funny image.

Or, this is where you need a nice Belgian Malinois that is taught to take down a barking human.

I think native Hawaiian's call people from the mainland "howlies". I don't know what it means. Makes me think of wolves. I have never been to Hawaii, just some crap I read in a magazine. Sorry your associate was punched.

...and then rub their nose in it.
I find it sad. There was a time that blacks were considered nothing but an animal. In doing this they reinforce those stereotypes and the mentality that people like the KKK hold.

Ya know, it's not just blacks. So many people these days just have absolutely no respect whatsoever for anyone or anything. They just think it's cool to live the "thug life" or at least act that way. I don't know why that's so attractive to so many people. Especially women that hang out with these guys and tolerate the names they're called and the treatment they receive just for being female. It's just disgusting and this is a perfect example of that sort of behavior.
In the case of the trend of blacks barking at white people...do these people really think this is how they're going to change perceptions? Seriously? SMDH...
I find this troubling. Ironically, the only article I happen to have read about the Black Panther movie, was from what I assumed was some activist lady talking about how the message of Black Panther was some white people trickery to tell black people to cow down and stay in their place in a non-violent manner. Like most things, sounds like some people think the movie is radical, while others not radical enough. Either way, I pretty much had the same thought as WETWERKS. Barking at people you don't like is NOT going to get you the change in perception that you're after. Not at all.

They have been told it's not their problem. They don't have to be part of the solution. Someone else will fix it.
They can’t speak English so barking is what they’re used to

What you are saying is that language besides Eng is barking? So when you took foreign language in middle/highschool, you were learning how to bark to graduate?

Update:
The d-bags girl, who was screaming in my face, calling me a racist asshole, etc. (par for the course) came in yesterday with her 9 or 10 year old child in tow to try to gain some sympathy since her thug boyfriend or whatever was stuck in jail. In Gilpin County, you go to the can on a weekend, you are stuck there until Monday. I'm not sure about other places, but up here, you get cuffed on Friday and you ain't getting out till Monday the earliest. At least that what the cops tell me.
Anyway, she came in and spoke with one of my coworkers (same position as me, different shift), sweetly saying that "he just made a mistake" and "he was just a little drunk and didn't mean it" and asked if there was anything my coworker could do to make it go away.
My coworker had a lot more patience with her than me, explaining that d-bags actions were unacceptable behavior, blah, blah. He literally said to her, "What if he did this in a bank or at the airport? Why do you think he can get away with it in a casino?"
If I was there I would have just said, "Talk to an attorney and leave our property immediately." Unbelievable.
I wonder if he's barking at the Sheriffs in jail? [Coffee]
Oh yeah, the guy who got punched is fine - just bruises and a little sore. Good news there. Hard as nails.
You know, a punch can kill someone, especially someone 70 years old pretty easily. While professional, I certainly wouldn't have been polite when she came back.
(My earlier hooting comment was obviously in complete jest, just because you can imagine how pissed they would get vis a vis)
[Sarcasm alert] The amusing response when she asked "if there was anything they could do to make it go away":
Ma'am, I'm sorry but proposing I take care of your husband is quite illegal. People get prosecuted for trying to hire that all the time. But how much life insurance does he have? *wink*
Came in to post something similar RE: making it go away. "I had the same idea and have already spoken with the police, but they said no one can be executed without a trial."
Also, did anyone else think we were going to have to merge these two threads when you first read the title?

If I was a spineless POS with no regard for anything....I'd say,
Woof! Woof! Woof! to that.
It seems to me that the assailant's barking in the contemporary context indicates a hate crime and not simply a felony assault against a person at risk.

Hmmm, bark like a dog, get sent to the kennel for the weekend.

Glad your coworker is gonna be ok GG
I care less about the barking than the assault on the guard. As long as the guy is behind bars, I don't care if he barks or not.
I'm so glad the guy that was punched will be fine.
I hope he takes the asshole to civil court and sues him for the maximum.
FWIW, I spoke with some friends that have seen the Black Panther movie (I haven't had the time yet) and they all said that it's not really barking; the characters in the movie are all a part of some faction that makes gorilla noises as a way to drown out opposition. I don't know if that faction is with the bad guys or the good guys.
That context really doesn't make things any better.

I agree except that by definition it's not possible to be racist against white people.

I was just about to say, barking like dogs (didn't a lot of [c]rappers in the 90's do something like that?) is one thing, but making ape noises... I thought that was racist to make those comparisons, even if it is them doing to themselves? Or does that go along with the duality of the use of the "n" word?

So, the barking douchebag pled guilty and got 18 days at the Gilpin Hilton, 2 years probation and substance abuse counseling.
Victim still has to use a walker due a sore (replacement) hip, but claims to be doing well. Just his pride talking I guess. No word on any civil suit or anything. It would probably be like getting blood from a stone anyway.

Okay, I just saw Black Panther yesterday- the context makes a bit more sense, now.
Not to say the a$$hole didn't deserve a LOT more than 18 days in the pokey and a two year slap on the wrist...but although it probably sounded like barking, it wasn't (in the movie, at least.)
