To be Frank (or Steve, I personally like Mustafah)
"Hunting is a sport. There are hunting stores out there. If that's illegal, shame on my dad and my grandpa and his grandpa. It's kind of been brought up throughout the history of America. The last time I knew dogfighting was a sport was never. "--Mark Buehrle
Now....I'll give you a couple seconds to really analyze what he said. [waiting] This is basically what he said in a nutshell.
"Its OK for me to love animals and still be a hunter because its legal, dog fighting is nothing like hunting cause they're actually killing dogs, in hunting you just permanently knock them out and hang their heads on your wall, but as I said earlier its legal, if dog fighting were legal then obviously I wouldn't have a problem with it, but until then, I hope that nigger breaks both his legs on the field. and so do my dad, grandpa, and his grandpa"
Really dude? How can you claim to be a huge advocate for animal rights and you hunt animals at the same time? This Just In. Marcus "The Ranter" is a ranter and a mute with no fingers. But seriously though. This is about to turn into a race issue, turn your head if you are squeamish. White people made/make laws. I say that because, in the average white family there's a dog, or a cat, or some sort of pet. You don't have that in the average black home, and if you do, the pet probably isn't receiving the proper care. So you have an average white family, who treats their dog like their own child, and you have an average black family who doesn't even have a dog, or the one they have, they treat like crap. To most black people, the Michael Vick dog fighting case was stupid, you have a bunch of people who were like "OK, its just a dog", are they wrong? I cant say, In my opinion I don't think they are, cause look at how the average black person is raised, they arent brought up to treat pets better than people, the average black kid can see a dog fight on his way to school everyday, how is he/she supposed to know that's wrong?. So because you have the average white person growing up in a home with a pet being treated the right way. You have/had white lawmakers going out of their way to protect these animals, there are more animal shelters than homeless shelters. It's a cultural thing is what I'm trying to say, but it looks like a situation as to where, you have some people who only believe in animal rights when it comes to certain animals, if that's the case, then re-word your statement(s). Don't claim to be all for animals when you're known for being the first in line at the rib and possum BBQ fest. Don't sit there and talk about what someone else did to an animal and how they should be punished when you have a moose head right above you. Oh I guess cause moose and deer cant be pets then they arent animals...OK, glad we all got that cleared up, lol, Mark Buehrle you are my first Idiot of the Week, congratulations, dickhead.
I have a couple gripes and a few applauses....
ReplyDelete1) I don't think it's fair to say that dog fighting is a cultural difference or that the average black family doesn't treat their dog right. I've grown up in a couple different black neighborhoods, come across a ton of different kinds of black families, met all types of black people and can count on one hand the number of people who thought even for a second that its ok to fight dogs, and half of them even had a pet of their own that they'd NEVER fight because they love that dog with all their heart (all the while having a fighting dog on the side). I'll bet money there are 5 times as many black families who care for their dog in the best way they know how than there are who fight dogs.
2) you're not by far the 1st person I've heard argue that dog fighting laws are made against black people and I don't believe it for a second. In the South, dog fighting is just as much a white sport as it is a black or hispanic one.
3) I think dogfighting is wrong under any circumstance, but its even more wrong for a world famou athelete to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it, as if he has nothing better to do with his money. Its often the case that people who dogfight are in fact people in urban communities that see this as a way to make more money and attain material things they couldt otherwise have. But for a man with million of dollars in his posession, its quite unacceptable. Maybeit was peer pressue, that's okay, but don't go spending more money on a game than these peers of yours make in years.
Now that's out the way: Buehrle is in fact an idiot. To openly say about ANY other athelete that he hopes they get injured is a jerkass move. I wholeheartedly believe that if Vick was white his punishment and attention wouldn't have been as aggressive. But as we all know, he's a dumb ignorant nigga....white people do make the laws, they run the media, they are over 70% of the entire US population, so by default, they're the ones that get to say "Hey Mike Vick: burn in bell." They're the ones who live in their own world thinking every white person on earth thinks just the same as they do. No doubt, Micheal Vick was portrayed and treated totally unfairly and that indeed IS a black/white issue. Dog fighting is awful, but bigotry's awesome.
You made it seem like I said "all black families" jamie, I know there are a lot of black families out there who have pet dogs who would never fight them or treat them wrong, but they did polls during the michael vick case, and sorted the results out by race, there was a great number of black people who didnt care, for example, my cousin, he didnt care at all, and couldnt understand what the big deal was, it wasnt until my cousin moved in with his gf, who had a dog, when he realized how messed up that is to treat dogs like that. and i wasnt saying dog fighting laws were made because black people fight dogs, im saying laws and animal rights were made for the white people who love them. how is it not a cultural thing? im not saying all black people care less about their pets than white people. but, majority rules, and thats what im referring too
