I only posted this topic in response to the Baltimore riots and the Black communities claim that "Thug" is the "new N-word". There was actually a Baltimore city councilman who claimed on Fox News that the rioters should not be called thugs but "college students". *facepalm*



Apparently, all of this seems to lead back to an interview with Richard Sherman in which he claimed that the word was racist. Go figure.


I saw that too and immediately called them stoopid..
