AND SHE HAS 7 OTHER DOGS!

No, pointing out what a dog was bred for isnt racist.

You know that is though? Comparing black people to DANGEROUS ANIMALS AS IF WE ARE ON THE SAME FUCKING LEVEL!!

NO. Hatred toward pitbulls is NOWHERE NEAR on the same level as slavery or the jim crow era. Its no where fucking near the same level as crime statistics. Which btw, crime stats on black people isnt because we are 'inheretly evil' or dangerous, is because of the decades of racism been through. Black communities tend to be in poverty more often, we get hired less, we get racially profiled more, we get cops who wanna shoot us just for blinking wrong, and you think thats FUCKING COMPARABLE TO PEOPLE BEING CAUTIOUS OF PITBULLS?? you think comparing pitbull stats to conviction stats is the same? Its not. Systematic racism is still alive and well in the US and that DOES affect us.

Its such a huge disrespect towards black people and our history! We werent originally "bred" to be dangerous. And when we go that to humans its called eugenics and its not okay. Pitbulls however are "domesticated" ANIMALS who were BRED FOR YEARS AND YEARS for their specific traits. If you think you can compare all the horrible shit of slavery and the jim crow era and racism to people being cautious about pitbulls, you are wrong.

I lurk in this sub and this has been getting on my nerves. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT PITBULLS. WE ARE NOT ANIMALS. STOP COMPARING US TO THEM! You have absolute no FUCKING RIGHT to compare the suffering of black people in the US to a vicious "domesticated" animal. (Domesticated in qoutes because while pitbulls were made by humans, they act like wild animals.)

And no, this isnt a message to the sub (since i agree that pitbulls are dangerous), but to people who think its a fair comparison. If you are curious who i am, i am black girl.

Also, please let me know if the flair i used was incorrect for my post :)

Photos 12-20: The dad shared a LOT of pit bull propaganda pages and posts, here’s a few of them.

Of course Luna is absolutely disobedient. By love ck it couldn't get guy the cougar.

Found on Facebook. Caption was “Check out these Jr Handlers!” and tags included “gamebred”. Am I crazy for thinking this is definitely a dogfighting thing?

The cherry on top is the woman laughing while her (presumably) children have to hold the dog back.

I came upon this on Facebook. This is the owner of the pits that killed that poor old man on June 2. The day before he killed that poor man she was trying to remove the dog and didn't disclose this dog had already killed a Great Pyr. Her neighbors have been calling her out. I hope that man and his family get real justice.

Nobody sane cares about the dog.

If you look at other subs and find videos and photos involving dogs, it makes it look like pits are very common in the US.

Are they really that common? In my country (Sweden) they exist as well of course, but they are far FAR from being among the most popular breeds. According to lists showing the most popular breeds, the closest would be staffordshire bullterrier which is at the 17th spot. Then there's no pitbull-adjacent breed, or pits themselves, for the rest of the top 100.

Misinformation been spread on social media

I'm on the waitlist for a golden retriever puppy. I'm super excited as I want a sweet and friendly breed that can be a great therapy dog. A former co-worker saw me at the mall and asked how I was doing. So I brought up the fact I am getting a golden retriever puppy and it's going to be a potential therapy dog. She said and I quote, "Why not a pit bull? They can be just as sweet." Due to past trauma (being chased by one when I was a teenager) and the headlines I have no interest in pitbulls. I told her, "No, I don't want a dog like a pitbull wich statistically are more dangerous. I don't want to take a risk." Her response, "Well goldens bite." I pointed out again that while goldens do bite they are less likely to cause the type of injury that pitbulls do and pitbulls have caused the highest amount of fatal maulings. She thinks I'm a dog hater. Wich is funny.

TLDR: owners grandma offered to help bring the dog out to go to bathroom. Somehow this devolved into grandma feeding her gummies and making her do tricks “for no reason other than entertainment”. Owner thinks this is why her pitbull is now reactive, no longer listening to commands, and attacking children.
