Lawsuit... "thug" is racist?

[jimnyc]

I won't mention the name, look around if someone likes. A rap celebrity is being sued for violence at one of his events where 2 people died. The lawsuit blames his lyrics, and then also blaming some of the thug fans.

Calling folks who get violent and harm others physically as "thugs" is NOT only NOT racist, the word has NOTHING to do with race. Nor does the lawsuit mention race, it only mentions "thugs".

But out comes the race card - and the families of the victims are now being accused of being racists for the words being in their lawsuit. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If calling a thug, a thug, mysteriously makes you a racist, than I'm a racist.

In fact right now I don't give a damn who calls me a racist. The left has pounded that word into the dirt so far, at this point the word has no meaning or impact on anything.
