Racist white conservatives use the term interchangably with "black". They call Obama, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Denzel Washington "thugs" since its their name for black people and lots of websites filter out that name they prefer to use for blacks.

Seems to me, that someone who was truly a "racist white conservative" would not bother with hiding behind the word "thug" if they really wanted to say the N-word. They would just use the N-word. Why, afterall, would they care what you think?

IMO, thug, when used as you say it's used, would be something that a "progressive liberal of any color" would hide behind and certain Blacks looking to make money in the music business. Those are the ones you have to watch out for.

Type in that N word on this site and see if its not filtered. Most mainstream message boards and comment sections filter out the word. I don't know what you're talking about saying black people call themselves thugs to get ahead in the music industry. That was true in the 90s but its 2015 now. You can't even name a black person who advertises his so called thug life in his music, you'd have to get on your Wayback Machine for that.

The term thug is synonymous with terms like goon, leg breaker, hooligan, etc. and has no racial inference. Just because some blacks and rappers started using the term and embracing the so called "thug culture", does not mean liberal PC types get to redefine what it means, and denounce others to not use it for fear of being shouted down.

`
You are correct here and..........
Rappers tattoo the word on their bodies and people want to give credit to white people for over using the word......uh, yeah, right!

See just as I said "tattoos" and people want to blame others for using the word.......guess some people just feel the need to complain and blame anyone, but their own.

Wonder if the mafia was offended by the word.....wonder how many tattooed it on their bodies for the world to know.

I think we should add a verb form of thug. For example, "Brown was thugging through a store shortly before being shot" or "Rice was thugging in the park before being shot." You could also write "give me all your moment!" Thugged the man with a gun.

No, race pimps and the white guilt crowd try their hardest to make everything about race. If they get their win and thug becomes the t-word, they'll immediately start shopping for their next word. Suddenly, criminal will become the c-word; followed by convict being the next c-word.

BTW, most conservatives are big time Denzel Washington fans, because he calls out PC crap.

I wouldn't call any of these 3 a thug. I could care less for obama but a thug he is not. NDT is awesome, I cant imagine anyone calling him a thug.

See how ridiculous you sound when you say thug is the new N word lol Especially with these examples!!


People can claim that is the new N word all they want but they are just wrong.

I will add IMO the word "Thug" is masculine to describe violent males.

There are much better words to describe females.
