Should the word "Thug" be considered racist?

#34

Quote:If you associate black culture with thuggery, then you are a great example of what I am talking about. If people put the word "thug" together with the word "black" often enough, then "thug" becomes a code word for "black."


And on a different point, don't you think Hollywood has glorified white thuggery a lot more than black thuggery? Godfather, Godfather II, Godfather III, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, and on and on?


Maybe it says something that whites didn't try to actually live out those images whereas black culture embraced it to the point of emulation? Lets be honest, many blacks try to be thugs because black thug culture is glorified by the famous in movies, music, sports and other entertainments. If we can't speak the truth we can't solve the problems.
