Short answer. No. Long answer. No.

I think a good rule of thumb is that whenever a headline asks a provoking question, the answer is no.

The answer is not yet but it's making a good run.

Thugs come in every race.

“Is ‘Thug’ The New N-Word?”

No, but "CNN" and "Hiliary" is.

This is just silly and CNN trying to make something out of nothing.

Quote:Is ‘Thug’ The New N-Word?

No, not really. The N-Word was a term that applied to all blacks. Thug is a term that applies to criminal blacks. Thug:black :: white trash:white.

Thugs are thugs.

Yeah, with a city councilman like that Baltimore doesn't stand a chance.

What if we started calling people that riot and break the law ruffians? How long till that becomes taboo? This is silly

It's just another way to deflect/ignore the real issues by creating somethng totally different for people to focus on. However, this time it's just comical.

Thug is a term that can be applied to any race. I'm not into "newspeak".

I guess you can have a white thug, but they are just mimicking black thugs. It is a criminal subculture, which is predominantly black.

Lets not forget that it wasn't the media who first said Thug is the "N" word. It was somene who has been there and done that.

If you really think that you're just as guilty as the rest of the idiots trying to change English words into something they aren't.

No. I'm just pointing ot that it wasn't the media who wanted this to happen.

Look, the "N" word was acceptable for many many years before people saw it as racist.

It doesn't surprise me that people don't see "Thug" as racist. They won't for a very, very long time.

Nice bridge you've got there.

One word was specifically used to degrade a race, the other is used to describe people who commit violent acts and riot.

Not the same. Swing and a miss.

So how long till ruffian or goon is considered a racist term?
