Is "thug" the new N-word?

Baltimore Councilman Thinks So...
So will we soon not be allowed to use the OT favorite "TPOS" and will it become "*POS"?
quote:
A term used by President Barack Obama and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to characterize rioters has given new life to a debate over the word "thug."
"Of course it's not the right word, to call our children 'thugs,'" Baltimore City Councilman Carl Stokes told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "These are children who have been set aside, marginalized, who have not been engaged by us. No, we don't have to call them thugs."
quote:
The Rev. Jamal Bryant drew the same comparison Wednesday morning on CNN. The President and the mayor are wrong, he said. "These are not thugs, these are upset and frustrated children."
So will we soon not be allowed to use the OT favorite "TPOS" and will it become "*POS"?

It's sure seems that way on TD. TPOS is used interchangeably with the n word here in most instances

Being upset and frustrated doesn't give anyone the right to be a criminal.
It's a culture issue, not a race issue.
Sounds about right to me.
Those violent criminals just happen to be black.

Well to be fair, the "Thug" in "Thug Piece Of shite" really only hammers home how shitty said piece of shite really is. As long as I still get to call them a POS then fine.

Is the word "thug" not an appropriate description of the individuals rioting and burning the city down?
What changes would you make to Merriam-Webster's definition of the word "thug"?

Well that's just great. Now I won't be able to sing along to any Bone T-words N Harmony songs. Ugh.
It's that T-wordish Ruggish Bone just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Maybe it's because the black people being discussed are usually criminals...

A Thug to me is someone who has no regard for others rights as a human being nor do they have any respect for the property rights of others. If you fit that category then you are a thug by my definition. I don't care what color your skin is, if your heart is full of evil intentions then you are a thug.
