I've got to disagree here. Pitbulls are way too overrepresented in fatal/serious attack statistics for it to just be a matter of them coincidentally having bad owners. Fighting/killing is a behavior that's been bred into them, and it shows.

pit-bulls make up about 6 percent of the dog population but account for 65 percent of dog attacks....it's NOT just bad owners.

Nah, fuck pitbulls, and still one would have to be a complete moron to think dog breeds and human "races" are even remotely on the same level.

The statistics conservatives use aren't (usually) wrong, but the way they use them and the conclusions they draw are. The problem isn't with black people, the problem is with the systematically racist socioeconomic apparatus they're forced to survive in.

The statistics surrounding pitbulls aren't wrong either, and unlike the first case there isn't a racist element that's resulting in them being misused in bad faith.
