I mean, its in rap music.

Theyre called thugs for just this reason.

Yet they get mad to be called that in real life?

Every race doesnt brag about the thug life.

If people dont like the word, they should be mad about all of the rappers who promoted it.

Hispanic (Mexicans, Central Americans, etc) men do.

Cholos are interesting folks.

I dont keep up with grown men singing -bragging about themselves as if they were teenage boys.

If people dont want to be labeled thugs, they should stop acting like them. There is no reason not to hurl abuse at any criminal...

the problem is that black people are often referred to as "thugs" for even stuff like how they might dress or wear their hair

I mean the word thug is fine by itself, but you can't deny that there have been some really weird folks who like relish the word as they use it against black criminals. Like there have been posters on CE who have emphasised the word with bolding and italics, it's uncomfortable as shit.

The word doesn't have any racist connotations by itself, but it has a bad rap nowadays because of all the weird fuckers making messages like "Thug." and "This thug deserves life in jail", solely in topics about black people, with this level of emphasis on the word. It's like if someone would prefer to put that much emphasis on "black" to refer to a black criminal, but puts it on "thug" instead to have the same vibe without the blatant racism that would get them modded.

Again, thug become associated with black people because rap stars would refer to them in that way in the early 90s

The word thug took on a racialized subtext in the latter half of the 20th century, especially for impoverished black people living in urban communities, regardless of whether these people engaged in criminal behavior or not. According to African American Studies professor Michael Jeffries, this connection between being black and being a thug rose particularly during the same era in which mass incarceration rose to record levels. These communities started reclaiming the word thug as a countercultural rebellion against racism, adopting the term as a form of self-empowerment and protest. The term was popularized in hip-hop culture, where thug life goes hand-in-hand with iconic rapper Tupac Shakur, or 2Pac. In 1993, Shakur joined with friends Big Syke, the Rated R, Mopreme Shakur, and Macadoshis to form the group Thug Life, who released a now certified Gold album, Thug Life: Volume 1 in 1994.

Lol you say it's because of rap stars when your own posts says it was already associated with black people in a racist way and they tried to reclaim it

Imagine being so racist you let the behavior of SOME rappers (I can only imagine why these racists focus on those specific rappers to begin with) affect how you perceive people in general based on race.

Pretty big exaggeration there considering the situation. It was right after a fucking intense football game with emotions at high and there was obviously bad blood between him and Crabtree. He didn't even cuss or anything. It wasn't even boxing level shit talking.

I was gonna originally post a pic of the orc thug from World of Warcraft but I was curious and I guess google is racist cause if you just type in thug, on pics, all that comes up is rapper looking black guys.
