I think he was referring to Kaepernick, who's half-black. And yes I definitely noticed that about thug, even mentioned it here already. JPPers started the thug business when Trayvon was murdered and they wanted to put the dead teenager on trial. It would have made you sick how they talked about him. I don't recall anybody calling Dylann Roof or Stephen Paddock a thug; mostly they got labeled mentally ill.

Yes, just that.
It was exactly the same on Amazon, and on all the reader/viewer comments on news stories that I have seen in the last some years. "Thug" does indeed = n-word. We lived in STL when Michael Brown was shot by the cop in Ferguson. (I lived in Ferguson for a couple of years in the mid-70s.) Brown was consistently referred to as a "thug". The RW Amazon posters who migrated here (Toxic, Eagle Brand, and RB60) all used "thug" to refer to Michael Brown and every other black person murdered-by-cop.

Of course. And so too all those Republicans who don't Condemn it, just like all Republicans in Congress. Can you believe this shit?!?
This is why we no longer have a country. The "nasty as I wanna be" party has proven we HAVE NO COUNTRY.
The Republican Party is willing to first deny and failing that excuse any violation of what used to be a shared value.
This is no country. I say agree to break it up. Fuck these fascists.
So do you live in a mostly-white area, mixed, mostly-black? What area of the country? In STL, I never saw any white accused murderer, rapist, thief, car-jacker, or asshole in a news story ever referred to as a "thug" by the readers who commented on the story. "Thug" was only used for black perps.
You might wonder why I am somewhat sensitive to this, or maybe not. I notice it because two of my g-kids are mixed-race; my d.i.l. is a black woman. My son and her decided to never return to his STL roots or her Dayton OH roots because they don't want to raise their kids in a racist environment.

I've always found it interesting the way lib'ruls make shit up, then use it to pretend someone is racist.......we should try the same thing.......have you ever noticed that whenever certain people use the word "owl" its always about a mean spirited person........"owl" is the new "bitch".......

Anyway, I refuse to concede the word "thug" to black people. We already lost "bad," and a handful of other words.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.
