A funny thing about the word "thug" btw, is that the guy in my avatar actually used to use the term alot, but it meant something very different from the way it is used by whites today. He actually created a movement called "T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E." (The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everyone), to unite gang members and revolutionaries in the black community to take their communities back and eradicate white power and the inequalities of the injustice system. Relatively similar to BLM today, but much more militant in its ideological nature. Not a surprise, as 2Pac was the son of Black Panthers. For him, the term "thug" was meant to be used in a positive context, as someone who came up from the slums or the hood, who struggled and made it (or didn't make it) in this fucked up capitalistic society - which of course was and still is a very rare thing. It was almost a "hood" term for a working-class POC.
But today, the term "thug", at least when used by whites, or even by powerful POC (like Obama) is simply the new "n-word". Whites who enter the criminal justice system do not get called thugs - it is reserved for POC, especially blacks; as whites have hijacked it and flipped it to be used in a negative, racist context.
