buddy got hissed by a kitty once while it was being held by its owner so now he usually makes me cross the street when we find one on the walk so he can bark at it from a safe distance.

Alos Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro. They where all banned in the same piece of legislation after a spate of dog attacks prompted public outcry and has been used as a tool to clamp down on dog fighting by banning the sale of fighting breeds.

pit bulls can gently caress some poo poo up when they want to. i saw one rip off another dogs leg. it didn't even do anything wrong. the other dog thought they were friends. he just did it to send a message to all the other dogs.

my viewpoint isn't that hispanics are gonna Have A Good Time, it's that republicans may eventually make an attempt at offering the the franchise to some, unlike african americans


trump based a campaign around "law and order" first and foremost, for all the americans who get boners from crushing perceived lawlessness. the racism comes from ascribing entire groups of people as lawless or 'above the law'/corrupt. the mexican rapists and drug dealers? trump qualifies it with the "illegal" ones, requiring mass deportation of undocumented immigrants (which would of course, in practice, be carried out in a racist way, making it racist speech/policy and it's bad)

there's no restraint though for inner cities, being described as entirely lawless, requiring stop and frisk against all blacks and defending the shooting of unarmed blacks for "being a threat". and every individual muslim is responsible for stopping the terrorist "trojan horse." there's no effort to draw a line between innocent and guilty for those groups.

i'd say there's a distinction between the reasoning given for why, say, war was declared against iraq vs war declared against the philipphines. the excuses are that one is being waged against an illegal faction within a group vs an entire unworthy group needing subjugation. the former signals that the oppressors are going to at least make an attempt at drawing some of their subjects into the franchise. the latter is signaling an explicit policy of continued disenfranchisement.

american history has been consistent in whites trying to remove african americans from the franchise to a degree no other group's gotten long term. probably because of guilt and the fear of reparations.

it was the early nineties and the tabloids whipped up a frenzy about "devil dogs" after a six year old girl was mauled by a pit bull in a public park, you got stuff like this

This was the moment when Britain's first pit-bull terrirer was wiped from the face of the earth. A lethal injection from a vet's syringe was used to put down Rizia, the seven-stone hell-hound. And at the end, the potential killing machine went out with just a whimper.

Trump didn't make distinctions between legal or illegal immigrants when he alleged that a US federal judge would be biased against him because of his Mexican heritage

too many people get them. pit bulls require a hell of a lot more work than other dogs. i don't think you should own one unless you live out in the country and you've got room for them to run around unchained and kill poo poo and be a pit bull. keeping them locked up in a house is just putting a bunch of strain on you and the dog for no reason.
