It’s like we just transferred systemic racism to dogs.

I actually saved this into a list of ignorant comments I keep. Is easily top ten material. Comparing the banning of pit bulls to the result of the slave trade is a hell of a comment. Congratulations?

I'm sorry, you think systemic racism stopped when we outlawed most slavery?

Screw the dogs, tell me more about this utopia you live in without modern day systemic racism.

You just compared black people to breeds of dog.

Sit down.

Nope. Compared people hating on specific dog breeds to racists though. Maybe go back and read that again?

Not to say I agree with him but he didn't compare those two things at all. He said it's the same mentality that underlies racism and 'breedism' for lack of a better word.

Comparing people to dogs is fucked up. Asian, latinos, etc aren't "breeds". There's also the implication of certain races being more prone to committing crimes. Honestly, both of you stink like racists.

You're completely missing the point of an analogy. No one is comparing humans to animals. What's similar is the thought process behind arriving at both conclusions. We could be talking about humans, animals, cars... the subject doesn't matter, it's the thought process that's the same.
