Disorderly Dogs!

341. Racism and Pitbulls w/ Kassidi Jones (Replay)


Listen Later

In this replay episode, my special guest Kassidi Jones joins me to talk about the uncomfortable but true history of pitbulls and racism. We talk about the long history of racism in our country and how pitbulls and other "guard dogs" were perceived. We highlight how white saviorism is perpetuating racism in todays culture of pitbulls and rescue. Huge thank you to Kassidi for this enlightening and nessecary conversation. 

*This episode was originally recorded in 2021 but the topics and takeaways are just as relevant today!*
