I don't have all that much experience with dogs, but completely denying the fact that some breeds of animals are more subject to aggression is a bit silly. Even in humans it has been scientifically shown that adopted children's behavior more often resembles that of their genetic parents and not of the adopters.
That said, I am not saying Pit Bulls are aggressive. It might be that they are a breed that is not disposed to aggression, I personally have no idea. I have seen pitbulls who are both wonderful and overly aggressive and from my experience I'd have to say it was due to their environment.
My advice would be to try to get the animals when they are young, before they have exposure to potentially abusive owners. One of my friends had a lab that was supposedly abused at a shelter and the thing was never quite right and actually ended up trying to attack me for no apparent reason. Eventually it was put to sleep because it attacked a neighborhood kid.
