Not Nice
I called Brown a thug consistently on Amazon,because I thought and think Brown was a thug,had nothing to do with being black,but with being a thug.
We had lots of thugs in Toledo they certainly weren't all black,by a long shot!
"Thug" used to mean simply criminal, just like "gay" used to simply mean happy. When the n-word became verboten, the haters switched to thug. Older ppl like us still think of it in its original sense, but for the racists it's a way to slide under the radar, especially when commenting on a public forum like this one, or on a news media's article about a crime involving a black perp.
