Thug is the new Nigg**!!

530. This white guy agrees.

Racists pick certain words to use as code words because the words have an existing meaning which makes the word applicable in some situations.

Then, they take those words, and start to use them selectively, and almost exclusively, in racial situations.

They do this so they can feign ignorance and claim pure motives when using the code words.

A good racist code word is a word that some people of good will might still use in those same situations. Which is great from the racists perspective because they can point to those uses, and declare that their own selective overuse of the term, is perfectly justified. Part of the give-a-way, is how they call Obama and Eric Holder "thugs" too.

Meanwhile, they laugh like hell because they think they are getting to shout N****R, with no repercussions, just like they used to be able to do before that became socially unacceptable.

Racists hate hiding their racism. So they use code words so they can say what they really wanted to say very publicly, and yet then deny any bad intent when called on it. They get to have their cake and eat it too.

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that any white guy of a certain age (like me) would be unaware of this. Most of us probably still have a racist or two in our families, and we know exactly what they mean when they use words like "thug".
