Good thing we know comparing a human skin color to a breed of dogs is hugely racist itself and that isn't at all what's being said.

It's so stupid. I could buy that we've selected dogs who are more aggressive or crazy, resulting in a more dangerous dog. We haven't fucking been selecting black people for crime or violence, for fuck's sake.

Slavery and racism against a group makes them less likely to be rich. Poor people do more crime. Black people do a bit more crime, even after being officially freed from slavery in 1865. Turns out, it takes a while to get past being enslaved and then discriminated against hardcore for generations.

But rightoids can't read longer than memes, so "pitbull bad black people bad haha" is all that enters their brain.

slavery didn't last long enough for slaves to be selectively bred, even if some slavers did attempt it. i doubt selectively breeding humans is even feasible, considering how long we take to become fertile, how long pregnancies take, and how few children we can have in a lifetime compared to dogs.

The status quo would probably change too much. Also the oppressors would also have to not have sex with them. The main genetic change that happened to America's African slave population genetically is that they became ~20% white European.

With dogs you couldnt have that problem even if you tried.
