Quote:"...many blacks try to be thugs..." "...black thug culture..." There you go again, making my point. You are using the word "thug" in association with the word "black." That's what causes a word to become a racial code word. Pretty soon, people don't need to include the word "black" because they can just use the word "thug" and everybody knows what they're saying.

He does have a pretty valid point. Being a "thug" in this society is pretty much glorified by a lot of urban youth.. You can't deny that at all!! It's not just blacks though, it's also whites.. It's Americans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, Japanese ect.. It's the youth in this country that embrace that culture.. Tupac was more looked up to than teachers, doctors or even parents.. Tupac!! That's a problem..
