In your opinion?

I don't think there's anything inappropriate about it.

It really won't matter what the definition of the word means, it's gonna be seen as a racist term now days.

And the funny part is that certain genre's of music made the word become that way

If a bunch of people went around acting like assholes, how much sense would it make for someone to suggest that it's not right to call them assholes?

I find it much more appropriate than calling them people.

Much better than that stupid work "Baw". Which idiots on the Droppings boards use incorrectly, which now that I type that, is not surprising at all.

Baw:

"An interjection used as expression of disapproval. The W is usually moderately drawn out."

"Acronym for "Bitch and whine"; mostly seen after people lose bets with other people"

"scottish slang meaning 'ball' as in testicle"

"Bored At Work. Employee who surfs the interweb with "real job" projects open for the grand illusion of actually working."

"someone who is is really butch, looks like a lesbian or plays softball. Basically a dyke."

If you think thug is a racist term, you are probably the racist.

I don't give a shite if it is inappropriate, when I see thugs being thugs I say it.
