thug
noun
1.
a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer

Are these people saying that there is an identity between thugs and black folks? Who are the racists?

Just continuing the pattern on the left of deeming
any word or phrase that is accurately and truthfully descriptive

as being “offensive”.

Political Correctness => Cultural Marxism

Pretty soon my 2 year old son will be labeled racist for calling a Darth Vader helmet-—a black hat.

I don’t let others control my language. They can project all they want and twist words and “coded” meanings till they turn blue in the face.

All these accusers are doing is lying and bringing up false witness. Their day is coming so help me God....

Changing the word will not change the behavior. The thugs that rioted need to take responsibility for their actions. Oh wait, this is Obamaland/USSA.......criminals need not answer for their criminality.

Obama Used "Racist" Term Describing Baltimore Rioters as "Thugs"

It must have been his white half speaking.

In the last few days, I saw the (black) mayor of Baltimore, the (black) police chief of Baltimore, the (black) city council member from Baltimore, and the (black) president of the United States all call these rioters “thugs.”

But it’s RACIST?

You see, president Jug Ears used a “racist” term, but its okay and is NOT racist by virtue of being half black.

I think one of Baltimore’s City Council Critters preferred N-—— instead of Thug. I wonder if Sunny Hostin agrees.

But it’s not “racist” if the “rioters” are thugs. It’s a fact.

Sunny needs to do some Google searching.

"Thug" is from Thuggee, a cult in India, known for befriending travelers and then robbing and killing them.

Early use as 'ruffian,cutthroat' seems to be around 1839 in Confessions of a Thug by Philip Meadows Taylor.

Another Lib/Progressive attempt to decry the use of a common word so as to further the political correctness agenda.
