Quote:Im not making Trayvon out to be anything. See my response to tommy below.

 

 

Your definition of thug is really lacking any sense then.

 

Do you know what the word even means? Thugs are people who have a dangerous criminal history which involves attempted murders, murders, running a established drug ring, putting out hits on people.

 

Examples of thugs are , Tookie Williams, (Real) Rick Ross, BCG, Crip, and Blood Gangs, etc.

 

Did Trayvon have his troubles? Yes

 

To say he was a thug because he did some "alleged"  lightweight drug dealing, and have pictures of him toting guns is pathetic. Do you know how many kids emulate rappers and call themselves thugs doing the same exact thing? Trayvon was far from that, I know real thugs (criminals) back in my home state who laugh at people like you that says Trayvon was a thug.

 

It's hilarious for you to suggest what's wrong with Black America. Instead of shedding tears, complaining and pointing fingers, have you decided to go out and help these same young men, or thugs (as you would like to call it) turn their lives around? 

 

You can agree with whatever you want, but I can tell you really have no concept of what defines people actions, you just go along with the flow which shows self identity issues. 

 

To question someone on what a word means without knowing the definition yourself doesnt make sense.   You know as much about Trayvon as I do.  You dont know if he was a thug or not.

 

I think its funny since the Richard Sherman thing somehow thug has become a racist term.  It is an adjective, period.  There are articles about Zimmerman, Incognito and many other white people that called them thugs as well.
