re: Is "Thug" the new N-word?

It definitely carries racial overtones. When a white player gets in trouble off the field, there are always "tPOS" jokes--and those jokes are based on the fact that the "thug" label isn't thrown out as quickly as it is when the player is black.

Like somebody said earlier, Bieber is a thug. I actually think a better word for him is punk, but that's just me.

i agree but i see "thug" as a term that describes urban/ghetto culture, which is dominated by black people
just like we use redneck/white trash/hick to describe rural lower class behavior that is dominated by white people
sherman sounded like a WWE wrestler, not a thug. a bunch of white trash probably called him a thug
i use ratchet now, b/c that's the new urban term to describe ghetto/trashy
