THUG

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I still keep thinking about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when CNN showed a black "looter", then shortly thereafter showed a white man "gathering supplies".

Thug is not racially loaded to me. It was commonly used in RI referring to the mafia, and we use it in the SCA as a compliment to our army and household.

[Faust]

Using the word thug on someone isn't racist.

It's cultural appropriation, how dare they mislabel people as belonging to the Thuggee.

It's like me walking into a room full of you people and going "you miserable Maori shits"

I am not even really sure how to respond to this.

[LMNO]

There is no ethnic component in the mafia. 




Of course.

Alleged is horribly accurate.

Clearly, this is about the SCA.

BREAKING NEWS: White Lady In New Hampshire Announces "Thug" Not Racially Loaded For Her, SCA Pals.

Here's a question, and feel free to slap the shit out of me if it's retarded and/or unknowingly crossing some "racial rules" line:

Do we, as a society in general, have to sideline terms every time some teabillies decide to make it their "nigger du jour"?

Or are we better off ignoring that bullshit and those bullshit-spewers and not allowing the linguistic tropes of a minor outlier segment of society to become entangled with our everyday linguistic reality?

I mean, "thug" is a word, and it's not a word with any inherent racial meaning. I'm kinda feeling like I'm going to keep using it the way I always have and if I hear someone else using it as a racially-loaded placeholder term I'll address those situations individually rather than start pruning my own vocabulary to conform with some ever-changing notion of political correctness that's trying to keep up with the mouthbreathers' newest slang terms.

Otherwise, aren't we letting the terrorists win?

Don't try to fight it.
