It definitely carries racial overtones.

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

Good points

Also a good point. Worst thing about it is that people will remember his WWE performance more than the actual play.
