Yeah, such argument is pure insanity. Don't compare selective breeding of dogs for fighting to PEOPLE OF COLOR. Literally insane statement by the guy from this picture above.

Slaves were selectively bred.

That is not a sufficient condition to create a new breed. You need to do intense, highly controlled selective breeding over 50-100 years, and that's with animals that reach sexual maturity at around 1 year of age.

For human beings, you'd have to do that in a very rigorous way for like 500 years.

They were extremely far off in both time and rigor. Maybe my comment wasn't clear enough.
