Because thug became a buzzword that defined a certain kind of criminal. They could use any other word, and as long as they're using it to define all violent criminals, it's all good.
The War Room is ridiculous. I have to have the same argument multiple times in every thread because people can't read.Thug doesn't mean just black criminals unless you're hyper focused on race and ignore any time nonblacks are called thug
any class?
I called those kids playing the KO game thugs. Common violent criminal. That's what it means.

- Two black high school football players attack a black special needs student from behind in a surprise attack.
- White wrestling coach (coaches kindergarten through sixth grade kids) sees video of the attack and comments that the two attackers are "thugs."
- Aunt of one of the attackers complains to school board that the white coach is racist for coming up with a creative way to call her nephew and his friend the "n-word."
- School superintendent forbids white coach and his students from using school facilities.
I guess "thug" is the new "n-word?"

Or perhaps I'll get with the trend here, and just assert whatever and dish out "go look it up, it's not hard" bullshit in response to questions.Fine, go ahead and close the thread down whIle I go and conduct a peer reviewed study.
It's not like there's a statistic that I can pull up to prove anything to you. What I can show you is many articles over the past few years that pose the same question that the TS asked. The closest I can give you to hard numbers is this article.Or perhaps I'll get with the trend here, and just assert whatever and dish out "go look it up, it's not hard" bullshit in response to questions.
That's good argumentation.
Only if you're referring to people from India, as they probably don't want to be compared to the Thuggee cult that the term comes from.
Otherwise, no. There are thugs in every race.
I am being honest. I'm 40 and that word was used precisely as I stated well before the hip hop culture started embracing it.it means that to you. as with most words, many people use it in different ways. at least where im from, it seems the word is used for a very specific type of person. i dont hear white people called thugs around here, even if theyre criminals or troublemakers. theyre called some other derogatory term, but not thugs.
and if people in the thread were really being honest with themselves, id bet your experiences with the word are similar to mine.
