I don't feel threated every time I see an unleashed dog and I feel sorry for people that do because dogs are in this country to stay and are as American as apple pie.
Half of the unleashed dogs you see are actually strays. Why don't you chase them down the street and make a citizens arrest if it's that important to you ?
Maybe Barney or Fred will help you (?)

Dear Mr. Zardus,
To my knowledge, there is no law prohibiting black men from walking on a street where there are white women. However, there IS a leash law in the City of Philadelphia.
When one makes such analogies one should try to compare similar circumstances.
It strikes me as curious that whenever people are trying to make a feeble argument, a comparison to race or the ongoing civil rights struggle by people of color (i.e. To be able to live and walk anywhere without incurring irrational fears by others) is ultimately invoked as a source of justification.
In my humble opinion, that is a misuse of a very real issue governing the lives of many people, and a sign that people do not take it seriously enough or respect the fact that these concerns are valid.
Contrary to what may be your belief, people of color are able to understand and converse on various facets of an argument without one having to gratuitously throw in allusions to race or the civil rights struggle as a basis of comparison, that have no bearing on the argument at hand.
Sincerely,
Wilma de Soto
