Our great country has been divided for decades. Sometimes you need protest in order to heal, & we will heal, & be stronger than ever before!

Looks like many anti-police agitators in Boston. Police are looking tough and smart! Thank you.
So… yeah.

Wow, after all my best efforts of careful, specific explanation, you still don’t get it at all. What a total waste of my time.

sorry. But I do think I learned a few things from your efforts. They were not a total waste of your time.

Even within the contexts where it may carry a racial connotation, I don’t think it’s on par with the n-word. There is no unspoken rule that ‘thug’ shouldn’t be used negatively.
all I was saying is that the term has come to have some racial connotations,
how? why? who decides this?
This was already explained. I give up, since I’m not convinced that you aren’t intentionally missing the point.
I assure you, that is not case at all. Until today I had never of any racial connotations with the word thug(unless you are talking about it in a situation where a white person is calling a black person a thug, only because the person is black). I have seen many times the word thug used to describe a white guy.
I don’t think that ‘thug’ has racial connotations in all contexts, but I think it definitely does in some.
what contexts does it have racial connotations?
Look, Warbler, we can’t give you a whole encyclopedia on what words are to be used when and what connotations those words might have. Nobody can. We have to decide on our own what a person means using this thing called context. People know that this:
Glass is typically a transparent material.
means a different thing than this:
We should have more transparency and accountability in our government.
due to the context in the sentence. I think you learn this in school.
Also, I’m not sure why you seem so fixed on the issue of what the word “thug” means.
I trying to learn what I obviously don’t know about the word.

I guess the only way to fix this is to give the NAACP all the rights to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and then they can “correct” all the definition of words therein.
Also not how anything works.
It sure seems like certain black people think only black people can define what words mean.
Holy shit dude.
Beat me to it.
well, do I get decide to define color blind, as treating people equally without regard to the color of their skin? Nope.
Do I get to decide that thug doesn’t mean anything racially? nope.
Do I get to decide that a white homeless guy isn’t privileged? nope.
But black people can decide the opposite. That seems to be the way thing work.
White privilege.
take white privilege and shove it up your ass
I am honestly sick and tired of this shit from you. It seems to be your “go to” for everything in these racial discussions.
It’s only my go to because you keep displaying it.
whatever.
Why do you care so much that you aren’t allowed to say certain words because you’re white?
Because I think it is ridiculous and what we are doing to so words.
Because you’re white, you can’t say the n-word.
You know I have absolutely no problem with that.
Meanwhile, because other people are black, they can’t assume they won’t get pulled over by the police because they are black. That’s the very definition of white privilege.
I am sorry if that happening to anyone.
But tell me often do you think a cop real knows the race of the person he pulls over, before he pulls them over? Remember the cop has to see the driver through the sometimes tinted windows of a moving car(unless the windows are down or we are talking about a convertible). Sometimes this would need to be done at night.
The worst thing you have to deal with because you are white is not getting to decide what “thug” means. Get over it.
get over yourself. I’ve had it with you. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

What a banal argument we’re having. Only a matter of time until the middle finger pic, or at least the threatening of it.

I was trying to quote Warbler’s post and was laughing at how silly it is. Anyone who’s ever driven a car knows how easy it is to look at people in other vehicles.

I am just sick of people going “white privilege” as if it the answer to racial debates. Its ridiculous.

It’s not an answer to racial debates, it just describes behaviors that many people exhibit.

What are the two wrongs? What’s being made into a right here?
