Do they cave in people's skulls with hammers in Home Depot parking lots? Brown did that when he was 14. He was a thug.


Also, I find it funny that "thug" is now an offensive term when used to describe a black male. You know, because it was a term that was popularized by black men in the 90s.

Thats not true at all. Black men being called thugs predates Hiphops fetishization of the word.

Do they steal from people, scam people, lie cheat and deceive people with investments daily? Run ponzi schemes?

Yes, sounds like a thug to me.

Ah. Yes. "Freedom"

Via a $50 donation from the US to any man who brought an ex slave to work in central and South America (on plantations BTW)

Or his planned ex slave colony off the coast of Haiti.

Again, thug predates hip hop's use of it. Just like the n word. Black culture tried to take the sting of the words out of it by using it in a different way.

Some of y'all act like tone and context arent apart of the english language

thug
TH?g/
noun
noun: thug; plural noun: thugs; noun: Thug
1.
a violent person, especially a criminal.


Seems to perfectly describe Michael Brown and Alton Sterling.

The literal definition is a violent, criminal person.

Before the rise of hip hop, it was a term more commonly used to described Italian mobsters.

But you would know more than me. You strike me as a 20-something white guilt warrior with a sociology degree.

I kinda agree. I do hope Mitch is raped and murdered in the not so distant future by a Democrat.

Actually no. Running a ponzi scheme, lying, and cheating--while making one a gigantic piece of shite--does not qualify one as a thug.

Again, the definition of "thug" necessitates violence or violent tendencies.

The US Navy named one of their first nuclear submarines after Robert E. Lee. Who knew that they honored "morally bankrupt men?"

NOLA is a shite show. I can't believe this idiot mayor is worried about statues instead of solving the plethora of problems this shitty town faces. All of the NOLA homers, this is why no one takes you serious when you talk about how great a city it is. People come to nola to get drunk and act stupid. That is it . They don't care about the food, the culture or the history. It's sad because the city could be so much more. Keep electing idiots keep getting the same results

Sooooo.... Are you going to join my push for the destruction of Mount Rushmore and the redesign/distribution of our currency?

Realistically, how often did you pass by Lee circle or any of the other monuments?

Now... How often do you use dollar bills? Quarters?

If you were marginalized and victimized by the statue you (maybe) saw a handful times a year, I can't fathom how you can go a single day with all those slave owners in your wallet and pocket.
