Or both? He's clearly a racist.
Whether or not he's a racist, a pit bull is a pit bull. My dog is half pit bull. Does that make me a racist when I say it?
No. It does not. Like a lot of language, context is important. That's part of the definition of a dog whistle. Pit bull is still a trigger word, hell most if not all animal shelters avoid using the term for dogs like yours and mine. They call them terrier mixes instead.
What are you even talking about?
If that was the breed of dog, what was he supposed to call it? Scotties are terriers. Jack Russels are terriers.
Nelson looks like such a happy boy
I wish I could take them all home, but I already have two dogs and I'm already concerned about double the chances of catching stupid disease from them.
He's a beauty.
Fucks sake, I'm not trying to gas light you. Maybe you don't live in such a hyper racist and segregated city. I'm tired, my back is killing me and just because you gave me one site doesn't prove your point.
What the fuck are you talking about? I never said you were trying to gaslight me. I also never called you stupid, I called my dogs stupid. I also don't live in a hyper racist and segregated city. I literally live in a neighborhood with a mix of white people and POC- mostly black and south Asian. We are all friendly to each other.
Fair. Sorry. My bad. Unfortunately I do live in one and am stuck here. 😔
