the left-wing argument is that the term "thug" is never applied to whites

That's only because they are out of breath after calling whites racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, evil people who want to starve children and kill old people.

You are correct... but I am doubtful that they actually have a moral compass. The success of Democrats is predicated on the destruction of the Moral Compass. Most Democrats have a thinking process that is largely indistinguishable from the thinking patterns of a common career criminal.

One of the goals of the left is complete control over moral and ethical principles. To do this completely, they have to destroy the family and the Church. They are well on their way to their goal.

I guess Socrates could have joined them... who says that liars have to have all the good poetry (and songs)?

Wait! I’ve heard this before... where was it... oh yeah, their “founder” -

“you will be as gods, knowing (deciding for yourselves) good and evil”

Or equally folly-ful, thinking you can embrace it all.

God and the serpent both knew this was an impossible boast. And if Adam and Eve had stopped to think about it, so would they.

"On the other hand, the British greased them and they disappeared by 1870."

If the British had been more civilized, instead of "greasing" their thugs, they would have attempted to handle their thug problem with probation and suspended sentences as we have done. Proving once again that if a people become too civilized to do what's necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they won't survive and they don't deserve to survive.

Not sure they could beat ISIS for systematic perniciousness. What’s worse, a con game or a group that honestly chops your head off?

Blacks are like Jews in that they cannot help voting for Democrats, even though their respective motives my be different.

“Organized” should read “disorganized.”

Funny, most of the uses, until recently, I’ve seen of the term “thug” has been in application towards union members. Who, I think, tend to be white.

So yet another example of how Soledad doesn’t really leave her ideological bubble/echo chamber.

Years ago, a friend and I used to travel for business. We’d look online for extended stay places with a full kitchen. From the research we’d do online, we’d take the address of the property and do a search for the general area to get a feel of the surrounding neighborhoods.

All one of us has to say was, “Lotsa Democrats there”. We knew what each other meant and avoided the area.

Does the racial-grievance seriously believe that if mobs of young, white males rampaged through white neighborhoods beating up white people and destroying homes and businesses, the white population would be alright with that and not call them thugs?

All people of whatever color who did what the young black people in Baltimore did last week are thugs. The white leftists who've destroyed (or tried to destroy) businesses in various big cities like in 1999 during a meeting of the WTO are also thugs.

In short, a thug is a thug.
