[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know what you really mean when you type "thug."  [/quote]

NP- I firmly believe THUG to be a racist term.  Let's just say I've never heard it used to describe male white teens rolling coal in their duelly with a pair of truck nuts...[/quote]

Any man or woman that acts in a stone hearted cold violence isa thug to me. Ex. The group of white guys that went on shoplifting spree and their shenanigans causes a woman tobhave her face caved in and her husband killed himself a year later. Terrorists who bombed the airport are also thugs. The black teens who attacked and kicked in a mans head a father of 1 also thugs. The mexicans who appeared with mex flags at trump rallies and hit supporters also thugs. Skin color doesnt matter. Thug is thug.[/quote]

So why does the term not get used when we are talking about terrorists or white people?[/quote]

NP....maybe to YOU thug = black.  To me a thug can be anyone. I think members of MS13 are thugs, they are not black. I think members of biker gangs are thugs (a great deal of them are white). And why would you refer to a terrorist as a thug, doesn't terrorist just about cover it already? Or are you insinuating that terrorists are a race of their own?[/quote]

+ 1. Blacks are "racializing" (how's that for a word?) things that have nothing to do with race. It's a symptom of the victim-hood in which any perceived wrongdoing (or language) is a knock on their race. Remember Michelle Obama complaining that some racist white person asked her to get something off the shelf at Target? (This was before she was FL, obviously). She assumed that whitey asked her because she was black! Well, when I'm trying to get something off a high shelf (I'm 5'2), and there's a tall person next to me, I ask for a favor.[b] Has nothing to do with black or white[/b].

I hink the point is that if you have enough experiences in your life where people assume the worst just because of your race, then any interaction can be affected.  What you're describing- a life where race is NEVER an issue, is white privilege.  [/quote]
PP here. If you hadn't thrown in that term "white privilege," I might have sympathized more with your point. (And I don't know if you're black, or a white liberal.) But throwing in that term reeks with resentment for white people, and that attitude is exacerbating the issue. And I'm not even sure what it means. The way you used it means a person who hasn't experienced racial bigotry, although I beg to differ. Jews, who are predominantly white, have sure experienced antisemitism (disproportionately from blacks, I might add, which strikes me as both ironic and sad). Plus, many whites have lost out on jobs or promotions because their competition, less qualified, was black. In those instances, would you call it "black privilege"? (I consider it a form of reparations, myself, to try to even the playing field.)[/quote]
