Despite their vile words and actions, Westboro Baptist Church members are not white supremacists.

Members of this group are in fact black supremacists. Some have been arrested for murder.

Wow, racist/anti-semite black Jews. Now there's some irony for you.

Feelings and assumptions often interfere with facts and observations.

WBC is basically a shakedown enterprise that lives to sue municipalities for violating their civil rights under the guise of a church & they're very successful at it.

I can't say criminal organization because they are very careful not to break the law while being as repugnant as possible & that's how they thrive monetarily.

So it's a fact, as stated by you. OK, can't argue with that logic!

What's fact is, not everyone sees things the same. You're assuming everyone does.

I'm anything but one of "you conservative guys," and when I hear the word "thug," I don't automatically think of blacks. The Westboro Church, now them's some thugs.

It must be a generational thing. Norcider, if you're going to play "j'accuse," maybe you should be calling us "you old guys."

I'll bet I'm older than you haha! When I hear thug I hear a code word for "black man". It's what it has become right or wrong.

The truth is that it's a word that is used in many contexts. I agree that it is used as a code word for black man (though I would argue it's usually used more specifically for young black men from the city).

But that doesn't preclude the correct use as well. Just because some folks use it as down low way to say the N word, doesn't mean that a person (white or black) can't actually be a thug (or at least act as one).
