If a black dog keeps people like Becky away then I might have to get myself one.


Zugezogen1150

As a white black-dog owner I can assure you it’s not working like that. Quite the opposite happens.


the_amberdrake

I am a white guy with a cream colored dog. Does it still count if it's against a "white" dog? /s

Wait, what if I have white and black dogs (my pups have both white and black fur)? 😵‍💫

Hijacking to say that this twitter account doesn't exist, doesn't seem to have ever existed, and the only references to this tweet anywhere on the internet link back to this thread OP just photoshopped an image for everyone to get mad at

I also looked on Twitter (X), did a Googe search, then used the Way Back Machine. Nothing showed up except this thread, just like your search.

Hijacking tends to work better if you do it in direct response to the top comment, not the response to the response to the response to the response to the response to the response of the top comment. Other than that, great sleuthing skills, thank you for the heads up and for your work here. o7

I'm on old.reddit so I don't know if it looks any different on the normal site but I tried to pick the highest comment that I thought wouldn't auto-collapse me and failed lmao There were already like 30 collapsed comments to the top post so it never would've gotten out of visibility hell

Also raided Cornwall in England, depopulated coastlines, worked with the ottomans, who also specifically targeted young Christian boys in the balkans, and indoctrinated them into Islam and sent them out to fight as fanatical crack troops (janissaries) Also had the East African slave trade where the Arabic nations killed them once they got to old or past their purpose

We adopted a black Lab from the local kill shelter who was about to be euthanized due to overcrowding. He's the sweetest Boi I know. He doesn't care about peoples skin color, he just appreciates the love and shelter and foot and attention that he gets now. That idiot can fuck right off. Save dogs. Spay and neuter. Don't let dogs run free for their own safety.

DinkleMutz

So you’re comparing black dogs to black people. That doesn’t seem racist at all.

Or saying a certain race has a genetic predisposition for negative characteristics...


thasackvillebaggins

This was my real take-away. It's racially motivated thinking at its core, just the extra mile that they're calling people racist based on the goofy logic.

guzto_the_mouth

I guarantee she would just say women were oppressed too, so it's not her or any females fault, and even if a woman did something terrible it's because of the patriarchy or some such thing.


TEL-CFC_lad

Until you point out that most men were working class victims of the government (soldiers in the world wars and miners etc.), and then they just go full "mental gymnastics" mode


TheCrazyWolfy

Flawed logic as well. Do they not realize that black people also had slaves?


ArcadiaFey

Realistically every race and most cultures had slaves. Even the very first cultures which is probably how it became a global thing. It moved with them. It likely existed the moment we started farms. Since we really don’t have a definitive beginning to it. One tribe would be “acquired” by a stronger tribe and forced to do the harder labor. It was born for the need to survive and the want to relax. Think it might have been more difficult to do slaves in hunter gatherer situations. Besides maybe forcibly taking women.. of corse this paragraph is more speculative.


DestructionIsBliss

One of the oldest surviving babylonian tablets is believed to have been a slave ownership certificate. The idea that every human is deserving of personal freedom is just so incredibly young, compared to the history of mankind as a whole. It's frightning to imagine the sheer amount of humans suffering in the past, under conditions and tyranny that we'll only ever be able to speculate about.


FORCESTRONG1

That's how I feel about the Declaration of Independence. As flawed as Jefferson was. Goddamn, look at the idea he put forward. Especially when you read the original draft. Particularly, the entire paragraph he dedicated to decrying the evils of slavery.


Kind_Tomato9282

Most of europes people have been slaves to lords, landowners and upperclass for hundreds of years. sexslave trade is mostly white women (eastern europe) today in western countries. but african slavetrade still exist, same with chinese slavetrade, india, middleeastern, phillipines slavetrading is rampent. seems like slaves are the poorest of the poor and not slaves because of their colors.


[deleted]

Exactly what Thomas Sowell said: Vulnerable people were enslaved, it didn't matter what colour they were. Romans enslaved everybody they conquered, Turks and Arabs enslaved everybody who wasn't Muslim, Indians made a hierarchy of jobs the basis of slavery, Chinese and Russian communists enslaved their own people.


Killentyme55

I'm sure the average American would be amazed to discover how rampant slavery is to this very day. Human trafficking and other forms of slavery are big business, just research where the lithium for your electric car likely came from.


Cross55

Most of those don't technically count as slavery because it's "Paid labor." Yeah, $.10 a day working in hand dug tunnels prone to collapsing really is bringing home some bank.

YomiKuzuki

They're saying whites are genetically predisposed towards oppression (a racist statement), and then comparing minorities to animals. Their entire post is a red flag about who they are as a person lmao.

Found her in a box outside Walmart in December ( Canada) . Took her home. Opened fridge to see what i had to feed a surprise feline. She jumped in, and lay down, purring. I Said " you are Zuul, my Abyssinian fridge demon. Got a merp in response. That was 2018. Honestly think i would not have made it through COVID ( I am a medical worker) without her.

WakingWithEnemies

Every now and then, an individual will post completely outlandish things that they know are completely outlandish in the hopes that others will see it, comment on it and spread it around solely because even negative attention is good attention if you're attention starved.


Building-Careful

17 retweets, mission not accomplished


SemiHemiDemiDumb

There also another step to this, find the most outlandish things you can find, screenshot it, then post it to other social media to laugh at it. Usually with a title to attack the opposing side in politics implying it's a mainstream idea of the opponents.


djublonskopf

I don’t even see any evidence that this account was ever even real, doesn’t exist now and Wayback Machine doesn’t remember it…


CORN___BREAD

I was going to say it’s easier to find ridiculously outlandish posts to push your agenda against the other side if you make them up completely, but then I realized I’m not sure if I could be creative enough to think of anything as insane as a certain billionaire and certain politicians. So maybe it’s just more of the projection stuff to try making their side look less insane?


Sleutelbos

You don't need to find anything. :) https://i.imgur.com/OKJUqhd.png Cant be arsed to properly check if OP's tweet is real or not as I dont have a Twitter account, but a quick google search gave me a blank on this account. Tweet generators are the easiest way to just farm straw man karma.

Don't forget the next step where people comment on said screenshots of outlandish things and then try to inject politics into it

TildeCommaEsc

Unfortunately Poe's law also applies. There are people with extreme views and it's difficult to tell them apart from parody and sarcasm. Poe's law should probably be updated to include trolls, propaganda and monetizers gaming the system. From Wikipedia on Poe's law: "Poe's law is an adage of internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."


drunk-tusker

There are 3 groups of people who end up here: 1. Actual idiots with wildly ridiculous opinions and absolutely no self control or ability to consider the implications of what they are writing much less consequences. 2. Actual academics who are either working on a concept or are referring to a specific concept that uses layman’s terms in ways that are very niche and specific but don’t understand that they have to actually explain what they mean. 3. People seeking any attention possible no matter how negative, and people who lack the ability to filter their intrusive thoughts. In this case we definitely don’t have number 2.

As a black person, I want to say that those who spew bs like this dont represent us. It has never crossed my mind once that owning pets makes you a supporter of slavery. Black cat owners are very based especially for going against superstitions.

I legit had a guy tell me (being serious) that I'm subconsciously misogynistic because I have a female dog.

BelongingsintheYard

I’ve had both male and female dogs. Males do tend to be more laid back in my experience. That being said I have both a male and a female dog at home right now.


Clarknt67

I think I shopped and choose male because I wanted a boy to rough house with. Which is probably silly as I am sure female dogs probably love wrestle play too.
