Oh my gosh...
a Black man just called those poor people Thugs for their violence. Fit is gonna have a Fit. Kevin Jackson is his name and he wrote Race Pimping. He was on Fox News after Ben Carson.

Common sense is an Uncle Tom characteristic?
Blacks think that only they are persecuted. I'm Hispanic and believe me when you heard teachers tell us that we should strive to become workers in the service fields like custodians, plumbers (which ain't too bad with what they earn, but I digress), gardeners, etc. instead of telling us we could become doctors, scientists, educators etc. I'm glad most of us didn't pay any attention to what we were told but what we felt in our hearts to be.
One time my son was asking what I think he should strive for and I told him and he said, "that's too much work". I answered that that's why it's called work, otherwise it would be called play.

What makes you think black people cannot make racist comments?

so if one black man calls another black man the N word. Is it racist?
if its not then why can't a white man say it to a black man?

Do you really not know the answer?
People of the same race can get away with saying things people from another race cannot get away with.

I never thought "thug" was a racial term.

Most of you didn't pay attention to that? In my neck of the woods its very rare to see professional Hispanics. Of course we jave a lot less Hispanics too but the vast majority of them are blue collar.

Every group thinks that only they are persecuted OR plain persecuted worse. Black, Latino, Christian, Women, Conservatives anything else you can think of.

Someone once said if you wouldn't call someone a word to their face, then that probably tells you what kind of word it is.

A blackguard or blagard is an old English term meaning disreputable fellow or criminal. A thug is a person who acts like a criminal regardless of race. What is your point?
