On dope is not hip?

Furk me.

What is the new millennial hipster lingo for pot head?

Dope where I was raised in the country was pot not matter the color. We didn't really have the hard drugs back then that I'm aware of.

It wasnt your lingo. Its your Reefer Madness attitude that smoking weed makes someone a thug and a hardcore criminal that makes you sound like an angry out of touch old man.

Again, by your criteria a lot of regular posters kids are thugs who deserve to die.

Study after study shows that suburban, middle class white kids do drugs at the same rate as inner city black kids do. "Thug" is by and large reserved for the black kids though. The white kids just made a mistake.

It's not. We know he had a penchant for fighting. We know he was likely involved in relatively serious crimes for his age before the Zimmerman incident. And all facts point yo him going out of his way to physically confront an adult that led to a fight. Dying is a natural side effect for a subset of the population which behaves in this fashion. Admit it or not. The facts remain.

Limiting the characterization of Trayvon as a thug as a response to only his drug use is dumb. But you're dumb. So par.

We both know why they view this differently. I am just arguing on good faith because their points are so easy to refute on the basic merits.

No. You just see things through race first. Your inability to see your own bias isn't surprising.

No. Take my whole statement in it's entirety. Don't just single out weed.

Drugs, theft, guns

thug and I don't care about what color you are.

However, I will admit that thug can be perceived as a black only thing even though I disagree with whites that do that.

Thug is colorless to me. The origin is actually Hindi and should not be reserved for people of color. That's just stupid as the word has a real meaning and black boy isn't in the definition.

But if selling weed and getting in trouble at school makes you a "thug pos" and the world is better off without you


Nice try but your ignorant little rant left out burglary, fighting, and assaulting a school bus driver. At some point you are going to have to accept the facts and not the false media narrative that continues to poison that small brain of yours.

Not by me. I tell my son if he becomes a TPOS I'll wreck him before he makes it to 18.

Let's take back the meaning of thug from the racists. Gays did it with queer.

I used to smoke pot daily. Had a bunch of friends who did too. Always made us chill and relaxed. That was the point. If you want to fight, drink. If you want to sit and watch cartoons and talk about nothing,smoke a bowl.

Sure man. Race has nothing to do with the folks in this thread suddenly thinking that weed use makes someone a criminal. I am sure they feel the same way about their own sons and daughters that have almost certainly gotten in a little trouble whether they knew it or not.

Just because YOU are blind to the clear resentment the very same posters ITT show towards minorities on here daily doesnt mean i am going to ignore it.

For most of us, it does make you a low level criminal at least, no?

However, who is saying he's a thug just because of weed?

He was unarmed when he died so that played zero role. I wonder how many of you good ole southern baws have a picture of you with a gun in your hand?

And once again, someone getting into a little trouble doesnt make them a thug.
