It's only a dog whistle if it's not being used accurately. This...is false. Like, utterly, completely, false. The term "dog whistle" does not mean "inaccurate". It means "coded language meant to appeal to a particular demographic." The word "thug" is used by white conservatives to mean "black" to other white conservatives while giving themselves plausible deniability to go "nuh-uh, I'm not being racist cuz thug technically means ANY criminal!" Actually, he's spot-on, because calling it racist is a dogwhistle, when it's being used correctly. You're only SAYING it's used by white conservatives to mean "black" so you can keep calling it racist, when it isn't. You're lying to yourself so you can continue to attack people who disagree with your worldview. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:893861242] in With the n...
