You understand exactly what I said.
Good job trying to deflect the meaning of my post.
thug is the new code word for black males
Oh I understand what you are doing exactly. It is you who is tap dancing on this issue with nonsensical logic about bombs. Why don't you say what you really want to say.
i.e. "I declare that any White using the word "Thug" is a bigoted racist because they are using it instead of the N-word " OK though if Blacks use the term.
How's that for you? My advice. Man up and say it what you mean or it's meaningless.
Oh and back to your comment. I don't succumb to the latest social mime of the day.
Thug is not racist. It is a noun describeing a behavior pattern.
And right now more blacks behave like thugs than any other race in America.
After blacks invented and embraced gangsta culture, the thug stereotype grew
Because you saw so much of it. Even white, Asian, Hispanic kids started to imitate it, but didn't act out like
Black culture did.
Courageous conservative blacks are trying to bring sanity, civility, morals, and reason back into black culture with alternatives to the liberal gangsta and welfare culture , but the liberal media, entertainment community, and political leaders keep denigrating them as Oreos, too white.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake took back her comments calling protesters "thugs," saying she used the wrong words in the heat of the moment.
"I wanted to clarify my comments on 'thugs.' When you speak out of frustration and anger, one can say things in a way that you don't mean," she said on Twitter. "That night we saw misguided young people who need to be held accountable, but who also need support. And my comments then didn't convey that."
In today's world, if you are honest and accurate, then you are a racist. If you adopt the political correctness philosophy, it really means to deny the truth and facts and believe our made up fantasy ideas and ignore logic and truth....then you are not a racist.
I am older, and a "thug" to me was a person who was an outlaw, a bad person, who beats up and abuses others, destroys property, shoots people. In other words, a bad guy, criminal, with a bad attitude, out to cause mayhem and commit crimes. When I was younger, "thugs" were primarily related to mafia henchmen, and nazi/commie henchmen, or common steet villains. While these "thugs" still exist to some extent, the majority of individuals nowadays who exhibit "thuggish" behavior are criminal black males - gang members and the like. To me this is not a term that describes a race, but instead a type of malevolent behavior. I don't see this as a "racist" term, but rather an "if the shoe fits............."
Where in the heck anyone ever got the idea the word "thug" has anything to do with race is beyond me. my feelings are about like yours. Some people will do anything and spin anything to try and make race out of everything.

Denying that the word is racist means that it is racist. Yeah, that doesn't make sense to normal people like you and I, but it does to those who think circularly. I finally found out what a "rape culture" was the other day. A major defining feature of a rape culture is denying that a rape culture exists.
