Colin Kaepernick Is Righter Than You Know

[RIP sleazyy]

So we ignoring college educated men with no criminal history being called thugs today

 

[Belgium]

Thats a reach. Thug isnt defined by color.
It is a word that triggers people looking to expose racist white people.
Young thug, thuggish ruggish bone, slim thug....baby cuz imma thug...... Thug life.
I dont think its another color defining racist name ,re claimed as a term of endearment , that should now be banned from white people.
Thats pretty ridiculous.
Someone uses the n word or they dont, a thug is a criminal.
The nfl has hella gun and domestic violence criminals compared to other sports, so you will def hear the "t" word more there.
Why? Giant men + egos + loose women + steroids + party drugs = someones callin the cops for sure.
I think it should be every persons right to call miko grimes a thug

Dudes stay exposing themselves

Expose yourself

The word thug" a member of a religious organization of robbers and assassins in India. Devotees of the goddess Kali, the Thugs waylaid and strangled their victims, usually travelers, in a ritually prescribed manner. They were suppressed by the British in the 1830s."

Yes this is what they mean when they call people like Richard Sherman and Colin Kaepernick thugs.

They mean Indian thieves.

"Some of them could be called thugs so it's not a reach to call the others thugs with no evidence to support my idiocy"

This sounds like...... Wait for it.

Stereotyping!

 

[addict4sneakers]

Is there a such thing as a 53 man roster of employees with all squeaky clean records?

Surely I can dig up dirt on of the 50 guys I work with at my office

That is the historical context of the word.
What I am arguing is that we can't go banning established english words because people see it as a replacement for another word.
Its a cycle that wont end.
Bill OReilly is using it to trigger both blacks and whites.

Who said anything about banning the word?

The fact is that it's used as a dog whistle to convey a sentiment without using language that is considered more harsh

 

[a blinkin]

... Did your mans really just try to insinuate that the modern day use of the word thug when directed at a team largely comprised of black males is nothing more than comparing them to robbers and assassins in India?

Oh and I'll talk to you when you prove you even own shoes buddy, you literally have an nt account to bash whites and instigate.

Even if this was true, what harm is it doing to white people?

White stereotypes don't affect laws or systemic treatment as far as I know

Let's go back to the original point, do you think it's cool to call college educated men with no criminal background thugs? Why is that the word used? You used historical context, why are people calling these black men thieves and murderers?

No it was to show historically the word was not created with black people in mind... so it cant be the "new n word".
Thats all
Gone now peace

Historically _____ meant a bundle of sticks.

Wrong again. Words and labels have been skewed to fit whatever is deemed appropriate for this white hegemony. Just looking at how the U.S. categorized "White" when concerning Chinese/Japanese/European folk in the 20th century. Ian Haney López's book, White By Law: The Legal Construction of Race, demonstrates this clearly.
