Yep. Those who want to live in a world of perpetual bigotry accusations don't like the fact that the "n" word has for the most part been eradicated from the English language. So now they have to take a word that's been used to describe a criminal of any race for generations and throw the race card out at anyone who dares use it. Then once "thug" is eliminated from our national vocabulary, they'll go after the word "criminal" and swear its been used in a racist manner for centuries.
That's how these people work. They are never satisfied. It's a miserable life they live.

But let's not forget that you called two black males "thugs" in this thread.

Thug = black person. Look at it any time the word is used these days. The person is ALWAYS black.
Google "Thug Johnny Manziel" and you'll see otherwise.

So your normal is using the term to mean black and you dont see how its not slightly racists?

Well its not anytime, so...

Show me one case where it's recently been used for a white person?
Well I just did above and you dismissed it. street criminals are often called thugs, no matter the race

If the person was white, you would not have called them a thug. I can almost guarantee it.
How do you even know who I was talking about? I'm not talking about the Alabama football players, I'm talking about the next two kids who get arrested for the same type of behavior.
White or black. They'd be in jail and the DA wouldn't have even had a single thought about "air conditioning"

Yep, we all know thug is an average term for a Caucasian criminal.
Do you know many people who have stolen firearms with drugs on them that aren't thugs?

All I see are articles saying "If [insert black athlete] is a thug, then so is Manziel"
Way to prove my point

No one called any black males thugs. My OP said the next two kids who get arrested would be treated differently. You can speculate all you want what color those next two kids are, but you've made it abundantly clear which race you'd imagine in your mind in that type of situation.
Posted on 6/20/16 at 4:19 pm to BHMKyle
Oh I'm certain what color you had in mind. Thugs, as you called them. I WONDER.

Nope. Articles clearly state that Johnny Manziel is also a thug. Which proves my point that the term is used for both whites and blacks. Nice try.

They clearly reference black athletes being called thugs and use that to say that Manziel is also a thug. They're pretty much saying the same thing I am. Thug has become a racist word, and anyone denying it is in denial. You pointing out one white athlete being called a thug in relation to other black athletes doesn't prove anything except that the word is indeed racist.

Does it make you a racist for only thinking of a thug as a black person, with no other possibility?
