Should the word "Thug" be considered racist?

#69

It's all Tupac's fault, lol.


Tupac Shakur and his "Thug Life" or "Thug 4 Life," (I can't remember what it was exactly called) perpetuated an image that has morphed the past 20 years into the stereotypical label many people (certainly not all) see it as today.


No matter how it was meant to be understood,, the image is what came across strongest (as it does in many other instances).


It's all Tupac's fault, lol!


Note- for me personally,, it's a class of people and their actions that I'll perceive as "Thug," regardless of any ethnicity.
