A black man saying to another black man "what up thug?" is completely different than a non-black person saying "a bunch of thugs out on the streets rioting and causing trouble." The first is used in friendly manner, where as the latter (one could argue) has strong racial undertones. Some even go as far as to say that "thug" is the new N-word. And depending on the context, I think that is a strong point.My apologies for not sticking to the format of the OP.
To all posters in this thread, it is starting to devolve into something less that what I was hoping for so I'll ask you try your best to avoid partisan remarks and contribute to the discussion on hand. Otherwise I'll probably just ask the mods to delete the it.
I'll attempt a proper post, tomorrow.
