Thug is now a racist term.
Back in the day anyone could be called a thug, but today he word "thug" seems to be synonymous with blacks behaving badly.
Gee I cant imagine how that could happen.
Can anyone explain?
“I’ve been labeled a racist and a homophobe, all from the word ‘thug,’” Conroy told WPXI-TV.
“I have coached for six years young athletes — every race, religion, creed, social background — and never once have I been accused of anything like that,” he added to WPXI

The truth is "thug" largely is a racial term. You will rarely ever hear that word used in reference to white people even when they are actually thugs.
