Oh yeah. I'm racist.

It's not like I said multiple times that I don't care when the word is appropriately used, I'm challenging when it's inappropriately used.

You don't want to have a discussion (not sure why you bothered to come into this thread) and you take the simple, lazy (not surprising) way out by calling someone who isn't a racist, a racist. How's that for irony based on this thread.

Move along.

Lol when is it inappropriate in your eyes ? When it's used to describe a black person ? You can call anyone a thug. You need to follow your own advice about discussions.

When it's used to describe a teenager for getting mouthy with a police officer.

Run along now, Pedro and I were having a discussion.

Sorry but you don't own this thread just like you don't own the word thug. Get over it already. The horse is dead.

He gave you a logical response and you just brush it off with "get over it".

Like he said, it's obvious you have no intentions of actually discussing the topic at hand.

The horse isn't dead, there's still endless amounts of people who misuse the word "thug" either out of sheer ignorance and/or their own desire to push an agenda.

It is not a racist word so how in the world are people misusing it ? Lol. Because you say so ?

This has been discussed over and over but yet a few clueless people still think they own the word thug. It's hilarious that you guys continue on and on with this nonsense.

Call anyone you want a thug. It's ok. It's not a racist word no matter how much you want it to be.

Lol, I can't believe there are people in this thread that want to sit here and act like no one uses "thug" in a derogatory manner towards blacks. Alrighty then.

What about black liberals who use it?

Don't forget that recently both the black female mayor of Baltimore and the black male president (both of whom are uber liberal) used the term thug as well.
What do you infer and assume about them?

Lastly, your absurd assumption that racists use the word thug instead of n igger because the forum censor filters out derogatory racial pejoratives, is also weak sauce.

Let's see how many other stereotypical racial slurs toward blacks are prohibited which would render the word thug the only remaining choice;

spear chucker
coon
porch monkey
spook
coon
etc.

How about for other races or religions;

mic
wop
wet back
honky
camel jockey
shylock
polock
slope head

Look at that, my preview feature shows that all sorts of pegoritives can be used by racists. So that kind of blows your liberal rant out of the water, doesn't it?

You really don't think you'd be banned from this forum and many others if you were using those words regularly? I'd suggest that you prove me wrong and start using those slangs in regular rotation on here and seeing how well you do. I didn't say every single person who uses "thug" means it interchangably for "n-----", just that conservatives regularly and habitually use it that way. Why would righties refer to Denzel Washington and Neil Degrasse Tyson that way if I were wrong? Neither man has a criminal record or violent tendencies, the only explanation is that they're black.
