Thug is conveniently used here by some to deliberately provoke and incite, without having to use racially derogatory terms.
It's a sly and backhanded way of venting and getting your licks into a particular racial group, without getting outright trouble with the mods.
So transparent even an infant could see what's going on.
Jumping Jehosaphat, what is wrong with some of your people.
Has PC so infected your brain that you cannot see the forest for the trees.
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.

Transparent? As in clearly bogus!
The Speak Police are present, watch what you say. You no longer have the right to describe someone as a thug, because of ludicrous attitudes trying to link it with race.
A thug is a thug. Any color. Thug is a very old word, and the leftists have now tried to make it a "dog whistle" pejorative.
Just because a small segment of black culture tried to hijack the word "thug" doesn't mean they get to keep it and redefine it. A thug is a person who commits certain acts regardless of who was tattooing it on their bodies or what race they belong.
The word THUG has been in the English language for a long time. Trying to make it racial is an act of desperation by the race baiters.
