The History of Cruelty

Martin Luther King and how history repeats itself in ironic ways.

Animals deserve to have rights. Pitbulls are not born vicious.

Is freedom and equality something worth fighting for even if it means admitting wrong?
I've been thinking how hard Dr. Martin Luther King fought for freedom and rights.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. -Martin Luther King

There are those who are asking the devotees of Animal rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Pitbull is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of brutality brought on by those who run dogfighting arenas to make a profit.
-Rephrased altered version from Martin Luther Kings original speech.

"But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." -Martin Luther King

But many years later, the Pitbull still is not free. Many years later, the life of the Pitbull is still sadly crippled by the manacles of ignorance and the chains of discrimination and greed. Many years later, the Pitbull lives on a lonely island of poverty, brutality, isolation and violence in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity for their owners who fight them. Many years later, the Pitbull is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile minimized because he is not human but a dog. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. -Rephrased altered version from Martin Luther Kings original speech.

"But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force." -Martin Luther King

I can't accept the idea that anyone should get off when they have committed a crime no matter what color, gender or belief. That should not be an excuse. Equality is not the same as preferential treatment. True equality is the ability to measure oneself against all others and see no difference where law and life are concerned.

Whether or not Michael Vick is innocent or not isn't the point. The point is that NO ONE should torture Pitbulls or any other dog for the sake of profit. It doesn't matter whether you were born poor or rich, black, white, mexican or any other race. It doesn't matter whether you saw your own family do it. It's just plain wrong and the equivilant to human slavery and torture. So if you are one of those who raise dogs to fight just remember that society sees you as what you are, a slave master, slave owner. We dub you a Massa and you get all the disgust from us that goes with that name. You have betrayed every person who ever fought for equal rights, freedom, and believed in human kind and it's ability to live beyond greed, bloodlust and lust for profit.

I cannot believe or accept that Dr. Martin Luther King would ever approve or support Dog Fighting or anyone who used dogs to fight for profit. I cannot believe that he would approve of this younger generation committing a federal crime just to get some cash from raising and fighting dogs like inhuman slave owners did to the black culture. It isn't difficult to change if you walk with eyes wide open. It isn't difficult to truly have equality but that comes with responsibility too.

Dog fighting is not cool! Dog fighting is not a sport!

Dog fighting is inhuman fun for profit at the cost of cruel torture for pleasure. I can't believe that Dr. Martin Luther King would accept dog fighting as a right or good.

HELLO! its not a caomparison its just that he worded cruel behavior speeches awesomely, why cant she/ he use that speech to get that message across, i cant understand why the races are stilll hating each other for something one races great grandparents did, i admit that white treatment was unfair, and still is somtimes, but we aerent the only ones that are racist, im not saying that there arent white racists, just that there are black racists too. STOP THE HATING!!!

[zippoflintmeister]

Thank you! I agree with what you said and was surprised to see people accusing me of racism when in other earlier videos there are pointed remarks that are telling to the fact that I am the opposit and disagree with racism or bias. Sometimes what happens is that beause I'm not the "right" color I am not allowed to have an opinion either. Sadly this was not meant to ever be about racism but is eyeopening about racism on all sides of the fence from all races....

The pitbulls shall overcome!

[zippoflintmeister]

They must overcome as it is essential to the biosphere and universe as we know it. And without pitbulls there would be one hole in the universe which is theoretically impossible unless something else filled it and it might be something not as good as pitbulls.

You're going for a RIDE...HA HA HA

[rdk1017]

All of these things exist - dog fighting, racism, hatred, abuse, starvation, etc - because we have ALL accepted and allowed it to happen.... and mankind must stand up and embrace LIFE as All as One as Equal to end it ALL......

i love the whining of black men who cant forget... it always cheers me up to hear about how much they suffer from something that happened 300 years ago. but even more so of the white guys who keep kissing their ass, saying they are  absolutely right...

[waddleduckie1]

And now, people are coloring their dogs with ridiculous colorings as if they spray painted their dog to look pink, purple or even red. This is so sad and heartbreaking. This is the newest form of cruelty and it must be stopped. Dogs are not meant to be a form of canvas for us to decorate.

[gingerbeard82491]

so...martin luther king stood for animal rights?...

obviously im joking. How you make some kind of connection between animal rights and civil rights is beyond me, and how you assume that King would be an advocate of civil rights much less have an opinion on the matter. There are more important issues in this world than animal rights and dogfighting.

SO TRUE!!!!!!
