Quote: 

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.
