Why bro?

When a white guy commits a crime they call him a criminal.

When a black guys commits a crime they call him thug in addition to criminal.

I've heard black men being called thugs because of their hair style or how they dress before.

some people are just racist, and don't wanna appear that way, so they use "thug" as a substitute for the n-word.

the actual racists are people who think X word can only be used for Y skin color

No one says they are thug criminals. They are either thugs or criminals.

That.

Thug in and of itself isn't racist, but it's pretty fucking obvious when someone is pulling that exact shit.

No matter how hard the alties want to plug their ears and scream lalalalala.

Well, there's the whole, "thug is the socially acceptable way for a non-black person to call a black dude the n-word."

And while that's true a lot of the time, I think it also stems from a non-black person's idea of what the majority of their culture consists of. Since it was a big staple of hip-hop and visual media (movies/tv/art) when it first started, non-black people equate it like that.

Which I find funny because that skips over other things like jazz and blues and rock and roll.

I guess, since the generation we live in was there for the birth, or early days of hip-hop, it became our cultural touchstone.

Thug is the replacement for the n-word after it became taboo.

How many black kids these days dress and act like jazz and blues musicians or rock stars? When I use thug it is for a specific type of person, and the race has nothing to do with it.

Subtle at what? 95% of the thugs here in NH are white. So how is that racist again?
