Hip Hop "artistes" rapping about how thugs be rolling in their Six Fo Impalas. Dr. Dre has one similar to mine, from time to time Black people poke fun a me for that. Seriously,, what should we call these THUGS? Maryland Mischeif Makers? A couple of years ago when riots broke out in Vancouver, BC after the Canucks lost the Stanley Cup playoffs, nobody had a problem when the mostly White mob was rightfully referred to as thugs. More lib hypocrisy.
Crawdad wants to control our language? What a thug.
Thug jornolism.
Soledad, no one is paying much attention to what you say. Your gravitas rating is not that much above Cher, the writer Steven King, and other celebrities.
Thug / thugee
Used quite a bit in reference to gangsters in the 20s and 30s, which were typically northeastern white immigrants.
Also derived from India / Pakistan.
African-American ‘community-organizers’ have relatively recently been identified with the descriptor.
Then, call them hoodlums or ruffians. Shall we go further?
He called an Hispanic the “n-word?”
That should have been a news anchor death penalty case, should it not?
Anyway, I thought “macaca” was the new “n-word.”
‘it’s the new n-word,’ and I think that’s true.”
I wanted to go someplace with this, but I have been laughing so long at this nonsense, I have completely forgotten what I was going to post.
If I wanted to bring up the race of the thug, I’d say “black thug”. I’d use “Thug” on any individual, it’s not tied to any color.
The fact that lately all it seems in the news are black thugs is just because that is what is making news right now.
When you’ve accurately identified, described and zeroed in on the target, the target is threatened!
Hillary’s pals have a list too, words (”coded sexism”) not to be used when speaking/writing about her.
“A group that’s referring to itself as Hillary Clinton’s “Super Volunteers” has promised to track when the media uses “coded” sexist words — such as “ambitious” and “insincere” — to describe her, according to New York Times political reporter Amy Chozick.
The other forbidden words and phrases are “polarizing,” “calculating,” “disingenuous,” “insincere,” “ambitious,” “inevitable,” “entitled,” “over-confident,” “secretive,” “will do anything to win,” “represents the past” and “out of touch.”.....
Also, it is also now official law the left only gets to ban one word at a time. After one word is selected to be the ban de jour, all others come back into play. N*ggers, anyone?
We're not really going along with this, are we? It's so childish a tactic.
Why is she named after a prison?
So we can’t draw pictures of Muhammad and we can’t say “thug”? I thought “journalists” were supposed to be pro-first amendment?
The “T-word”?
BTW, if the "n-word" is so bad, why is it used so freely by those who should be offended by it?
CAN.
ALL.
KISS.
MY.
BUTT.
I am sick and tired of having my language dictated to me by liberals. It is a perfectly legitimate word in use for centuries by people of all races to describe people of all races. And they want to say it is racist?
Not going down that road.
Well, she was correct on one point...."I can't think"
I would bet a trillion dollars during the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, lots of trustfundians protesting were called thugs...by the media
Sorry Princess but “Thug” IS NOT the new “N” word. Grow up an get a life. If life is too hard for you, I recommend that you just stay home and bake cookies.
