[Citizen Zed]

This is CNN.

[Gamecock]

The word thug knows no color. It is based on the character of a man's heart.

Seems like they would more important things to talk about right now than making up bogeymen. Oh, I'm sorry. Is that rassis? </sarc>

[AppyPappy]

“she was trying to save his life. It is clear that it’s better that she hit him than the police hit him and brutalize him and take his life from him.”

Preach!!

[AppyPappy]

Nah. Thug is just an N word dog whistle. Even black people use it in that way i.e. “Thuglife”

[Busko]

Really? I guess they have to get some kind of racial issue out of this since the Libtards run the City and Police force and the rest of the political scene. Welcome to the Obamanation!!!

[Tupelo]

Sounds to me like Erin Burnett is maybe, perhaps, possibly growing a little weary of these n-—— thugs and their defenders.

[gattaca]

I had someone tell me yesterday I can’t call them animals or tribal because that’s racist.

[Maceman]

What rubbish.

"Thug" describes behavior -- not race.

Thugs have come in all colors and ethnicities:

* Italian Cosa Nostra
* Jewish gangsters (Murder, Inc.)
* Latino
* Asian (i.e. Yakuza)
* Muslims

Remember: #thuglivesdontmatter

Councilman Stokes has given everyone a license, a pass!

[MrB]

“Thug” describes behavior — not race.

But! I believe, fully, that it’s the behavior and the anti-Western counter-culture of the “urban community” that the left defends, usually by calling any critics of that anti-culture “racists”.

[chesley]

And yet, when persons of one particular shade are more likely to be “thugs” than those of several others, then it can only be racism, don’t you know.

[TexasFreeper2009]

quote “You wouldn’t call your child a thug if they should do something that would not be what you would want them to do”

um... yes, I would and a whole lot more, as I was making their backside a lot redder!

[Vaquero]

Actually it has an Indian origin. The Thuggee was a group of assassins in Indian of Muslim Origin but later also used to describe some Hindus

[digger48]

I’ve been told I am not allowed to even voice an opinion on blacks or cite crime statistics because I’m white

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Oh, OK. So what do I call union thugs, now?

[MNDude]

“Of course it’s not the right word to call our children thugs,”

They sure are not my children!

[luvbach1]

Thug has been aptly applied to blacks so frequently that it’s no wonder it’s become a alternate term for many of them. But of course thuggery is not exclusive to them.

[Yo-Yo]

Thug for Life

[Gamecock]

Union yoots?
