Some believe the word “thug” has a racist connotation to it, I actually do not. I am of the belief, A thug can be white, black, brown, Asian, etc Most in the comment section of the article have similar beliefs as mine. So I guess My question is when did it start that calling someone or a group a thug/thugs imply you are a racist? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When like minded folk start calling regular folk of color thugs then its possibly racist. For me thugs are gangbangers or criminals. Not regular folk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
